Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon chia seeds; 4 tablespoons water (to soak chia); 2 ripe bananas; 1 cup flour (I used a gluten free blend of equal parts Almond, Amaranth, Rice, and Fine Corn Meal); 1/4 cup crushed pecans or 1/4 cup walnuts; 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1 tablespoon oil, for pan (coconut, sunflower, butter, etc.); maple syrup

1
Soak the chia seeds in water to hydrate. This will take about five minutes.
2
Blend together the dry ingredients (flour(s), nuts, cinnamon, salt, baking powder).
3
Once the chia is hydrated, add the bananas to the chia water mixture. Mash the bananas well.
4
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
5
The batter may be dry depending on the flour or flour blend you use. Add a small amount of water or nut milk one tablespoon at a time until the batter is wet, but not runny.
6
Spoon one to two tablespoons of batter onto an oiled, heated pan or skillet. Spread the pancakes to 1.2 centimeter thickness. Cook the pancakes over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
7
Serve warm with maple syrup. Bon Appetit!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
