Gluten-Free Chocolate Banana Pancakes

These Gluten-free Chocolate Banana Pancakes are soft, fluffy & so delicious! A wonderful breakfast any day of the week. And making the batter just requires throwing all the ingredients into a blender – its that easy!

Making them gluten-free

If you are regular here, you already know, how much I love buckwheat in my baking. This humble, gluten-free “kuttu ka atta” is now available all year round and is gaining popularity ( rightfully so) as a health food due to its high amounts of minerals and various antioxidants.

While it does have a strong assertive taste, we don’t mind it all especially when combined with cocoa powder, banana, and pure vanilla extract – I make my own. It’s a really simple DIY project with minimal effort and yields excellent quality.

If you don’t want to use buckwheat flour, feel free to substitute with whatever your preferred gluten-free flour is.

Back to these stress-relieving pancakes..they are light, soft, fluffy and yes, chocolatey. Dates complement the chocolate taste very well. They add just a tad amount of sweetness to counter the bitterness from cocoa and make the pancakes moist.

The fun part is making the batter.

Simply throw all the ingredients in your blender and whiz until smooth.

That’s it!

You can preheat your pan on the stove while you’re making the batter…that’s a time-saving kitchen hack for you.

Top them with fresh fruits, honey or maple syrup.

I loved mine with almond butter and fresh fruits, while the kids never stray from maple syrup.

Note: I made a double batch and refrigerated the leftovers which reheated perfectly well the next day.

Here’s the handy dandy recipe for you. I hope you make these gluten-free chocolate banana pancakes and share your pictures as well! I’d love to see your creations!
