Step by Step Recipe
Step 1 - beat the whites
Separate the yolks from the whites and beat the whites with a hand mixer until you see a thick foam forming. Make sure there is no fat in the mixing bowl as even a little bit will prevent the foam from forming!
Step 2 - mix the dry ingredients
In a separate medium size bowl mix the flours, the salt, and the baking powder. Make sure all dry ingredients are incorporated well before you add anything to it!
Step 3 - add the wet ingredients
Mash the banana with a potato masher or a fork. Mix the mashed banana, egg yolks, and oil. Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients and mix to incorporate. Finally, fold the egg whites into the mix with a rubber spatula being careful not to destroy all the air bubbles that we created while beating. Don’t overmix!
Step 4 – fry the pancakes!
Add some oil or butter to a preheated frying pan. Then scoop pancakes onto the pan and place the chocolate chip on top of each one of them. Then, place another layer of the batter on top of the chocolate and fry for a few minutes until brown. Flip carefully and fry for another minute and transfer to a plate. Serve with bananas, sour cream, chocolate sauce, or maple syrup! Enjoy while warm.
Expert Tips
- Take a few minutes to preheat the pan as it will ensure that all pancakes fry at the same pace without burning some and leaving the others underdone.
- Gluten free pancakes need a bit more time to fry, which can easily be achieved if you lower the heat. It will require some patience, but the results are worth it!
- Use as much chocolate as you want and experiment with different kinds!
- Serve the pancakes warm before the chocolate inside hardens.
- Don’t leave out the tapioca flour as it adds to the texture and makes the pancakes moister.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Can Replace Flour in Pancakes?
You can omit the flour completely and just use a banana and some eggs, although it will make the pancakes fragile and flat, it doesn’t mean they won’t be just as delicious!
Do Gluten Free Pancakes Taste Good?
They do if you make them right! It depends on the amount and type of flour(s) you are using. I like using banana and tapioca flour in my gluten free pancakes as those ingredients add to the texture and the taste of the end result!
Can You Freeze Gluten Free Pancakes?
Yes, you can! Freeze them in an air-tight container or bags with paper sheets in between the pancakes so that they don’t stick to each other.

You can definitely try making pancakes with chia egg, but it won't be as fluffy!
