Thes pancakes are protein-rich, dairy-free, flour-free, grain-free and gluten-free. The recipe is adapted from SCD Kat’s Banana Pancake recipe. I thought I would share Kat’s recipe because they’re pretty delicious and it just goes to show how you can make delicious things for breakfast that do not have to contain any grains (if that’s your diet style)! These pancakes also have a great texture that is similar to those made with flour. They’re actually quite similar to my Sweet Breakfast Omelette recipe just with banana added. So if you liked that recipe you will love these banana pancakes! I’ve made these many times now and I’ve found the trick to making them cook well is to up the egg content. I’ve also made these with frozen berries instead of banana, but I like banana best.

Hi Michelle,
I am really interested in taking on more of a paleo approach to my eating, so this recipe is great!
Just wondering why you chose to use red palm oil in the recipe over any other particular type of oil? Does it have certain benefits? Connie x
Hi Connie,
Oh I’m glad!
Well normally for high temp cooking I would use butter or coconut oil, but I had some red palm oil in the cupboard so I decided to use it. :) It is high in CoQ10 and betacarotene (which gives it it’s red colour) and it really doesn’t taste that bad at all. The brand I use is called ‘Elaeis Organic’ which is meant to be a brand that is sustainably farmed.
Thanks for stopping by!
Michelle.
