GLUTEN FREE BANANA PANCAKES

GLUTEN FREE BANANA PANCAKES

1 ripe banana (for best results, freeze all overripe bananas, remove one from the freezer and thaw, 10 sec. in microwave , before making. The banana flavor masks the GF flour flavor and adds to the texture)
1 large egg
1 cup rice flour blend * see recipe below
3/4 C almond milk
3/4 tsp xantham gum or guar gum
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Wisk all ingredients together, pour 1/4 cup of batter at a time onto skillet. Cook pancake until bubbly on top, flip.
These pancakes hold together well, you can make letter pancakes with the batter. My kids love to do this!!!
* make sure the syrup is gluten free. We only used 100% maple syrup for a long time. However, with the price currently being $17.99 a bottle, I found a recipe for homemade syrup. This is from the book Miserly Mom's by Jonni McCoy

HOMEMADE SYRUP
2 Cups sugar
1 Cup water
1 tsp maple extract
1/2 tsp vanilla
Bring water and sugar to a boil, stir until it appears to be thickened. The longer you boil, the thicker it will become. Add flavoring as it is cooling. Store in refrigerator.
