Okay, seriously… is it even possible to dislike pancakes? I could literally eat them for any meal of the day. For real. I’ve seen recipes for flour-less pancakes in the past, but never dared to try them myself. For what? I was perfectly happy with my go-to pancake recipe.
Well over the past few months, I’ve been trying to cut back on white flour (just a bit) and explore other interesting breakfast options like this Chia Seed Pudding Parfait. These were both really tasty options, but I missed hot breakfast meals! I’m so glad I discovered these flour-less pancakes! I could eat a whole stack and not feel guilty about them one bit!
As you can see from the recipe below, there’s no refined sugar and NO flour! Just a few simple ingredients (that you probably already have) and you’re ready to enjoy a nice stack of flour-less pancakes in just a few short minutes. Over the past two weeks, I’ve eaten these at least 3 or 4 times… and I plan to make more this weekend! I can’t get over how easy they are.
When making these pancakes, you have two options: a ripe banana or unsweetened applesauce. If you enjoy banana-flavored foods, you’ll definitely want to use the banana option. If you prefer more of a neutral taste, you’ll want to go with the unsweetened applesauce (this one was my fav). Want to know an added bonus? These flour-less pancakes are oil-free too! Just use a non-stick pan and you don’t have to use cooking spray to keep them from sticking!
If you’re looking for a guilt-free pancake stack, look no further! These flour-less pancakes are DEFINITELY worth a try and are so tasty! Whip some up and let me know what you think in the comments below!

These are now our ‘go-to’ indulgence! My daughter said they were the “best healthy pancakes” she’s ever had. Also, the recipe is super simple; it took no time to make it. Next time, I will double the batch and try omitting the maple syrup since we also used it as a drizzle topping. Thanks for sharing!-

Absolutely delicious! They came out so fluffy I added ground flaxseed and I was very pleased that it did not change the consistency at all! These are definitely our new go to pancakes. I doubled the recipe so we had extra and they are just as good popped in the toaster on day two!

Fantastic! I used a little coconut oil to keep it from sticking. They tasted like banana bread heaven!!! Will definitely be using this recipe again. -

My a family member is asking about how many calories are in these when you use banana?

This was an epic failure. I used all the ingredients listed and followed the instructions and the result was a mushy glob of mess. I am so disappointed.

These pancakes are SO good!!! This recipe will become a regular weekend menu item for me! As someone who doesn’t like bananas, I was SO excited to find a recipe for healthy pancakes that offered up apple sauce in place of bananas. This recipe did NOT disappoint!!! I added frozen blueberries and drizzled with maple syrup. 10/10 Like a bowl of oatmeal but in pancake form 🙂 -

So good and super easy! I’ve had hard time finding fluffy vegan pancakes that are also gluten free, and these are so fluffy and good. I added some blueberries and it was so amazing! -

AD | If you haven’t, here are a few reasons you should: 🫙Enhanced Immunity 🫙Improved Energy & Stamina 🫙Enhances Respiratory Health Comment “GEL” to get the link for this item sent straight to your DMs! @drsebiscellfood Sea Moss Gel is made with Chondrus Crispus, which is the most powerful and nutrient-rich variant of Irish Sea Moss. They only use wildcrafted sea moss that’s harvested at peak nutrition from sustainable sources so quality is always on 10! One of my favorite parts about using sea moss gel is the versatility.

What should I add it to next?

When we bought this house, I’d always dreamed of making it a space I loved. Happy that I got the chance to do just that. 🖤 Now this didn’t happen overnight. It took many months to plan out what I wanted, find all the pieces, then execute (hello board and batten walls!). It was a journey to say the least. Especially for someone who needs to comb through every corner of the internet to ensure I don’t find something I love even more!🫣 ⬇️POLL QUESTION⬇️ Are you into DIY projects?
