Baked and Flourless Banana-Almond Butter Pancakes
Can we just take a moment to admire this beauty that is Banana-Chocolate pancakes?? Once you see how easy and guilt-free they are, you’ll be making them daily! I seem to always buy bananas in bulk, just because they’re the perfect snack to grab on your way out the door! However, as they start to acquire brown spots on the outside and maybe become less appealing as a snack, they become even more PERFECT to bake with! Their natural sweetness makes it so much easier to use less added sugar in your baking recipes- or in this case, no added sugar at all! Not to mention the delicious scent of pancakes wafting through the house.
My husband and I have devoured an embarrassing amount of these babies without regret! Eat them warm with some fresh berries on top and drizzle with maple syrup, and it’ll feel like a Sunday morning brunch even on a Wednesday afternoon!
Enjoy!
