Gluten-free Buttermilk Banana Bread Pancakes - #breakfastseries

I love pancakes. Easy, versatile, delicious, pretty. Here's how I make and eat my gluten-free pancakes.

Making your own gluten-free pancake mix from scratch is not that easy. You need: brown rice flour, white rice flour, gluten-free oats flour, buckwheat flour, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar.

Goodness. I don't have any of those flours in my kitchen. And, xanthan gum? It's not something familiar although I have heard of it.

So, I use King Arthur Flour's Gluten-free Pancake Mix. No, this is not a sponsored post. I bought this box from iHerb: King Arthur Flour, Gluten Free Pancake Mix, 15 oz (425 g).

Previously, I made a batch of Gluten-free Mini Pancakes with Cranberries & Cream Cheese. This time round, I make Gluten-free Buttermilk Banana Bread Pancakes.

Ingredients:
(Makes 20-22 mini pancakes if you scoop the batter with the measuring spoon set's tablespoon)

1 & 1/2 cups King Arthur Flour's Gluten-free Pancake Mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg powder
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 small bananas

The pancake batter.

How to:

1. In a large bowl, combine pancake mix, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg powder with a whisk. In another large bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, grapeseed oil, and vanilla extract. Stir flour mixture into the buttermilk mixture. Whisk until smooth.

2. Place bananas in a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Stir mashed bananas into the pancake batter and whisk until well-combined. Stand for 10 minutes.

3. Heat up a frying pan and lightly grease with vegetable oil.

4. Scoop one tablespoon of batter by using the measuring spoon set's tablespoon onto the hot frying pan.

5. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter to make 20-22 pancakes.

6. Serve warm as it is or garnish with your favorite toppings.

Here are a few of my pancake garnishing and topping.
