Variations of banana pancakes without sugar:
Low Carb:
As an alternative to wheat flour, you can use almond or coconut flour for a low-carb version of banana pancakes. To further reduce carbohydrates, you can also avoid oat flakes.
Gluten-free:
Gluten-free oat flour, a gluten-free flour blend or other gluten-free alternatives can be used instead of wheat flour. Oats are naturally gluten-free, which is why the oat flakes they contain do not pose a problem.
High in protein:
For sporty pancakes, one to two tablespoons of protein powder can be added to the batter. Ideally, you should use protein powder with vanilla flavor or unsweetened protein powder without flavor. This version may require a little additional liquid (milk or water) to achieve the desired consistency.
Vegan:
The eggs contained can easily be replaced, for example with flaxseed or chia seed gel. To do this, mix one tablespoon of the chia seeds or ground flax seeds with three tablespoons of water per egg and let it swell until the mixture gels. This even makes the pancakes a local superfood! For a protein-rich, vegan version of banana pancakes, you can simply use vegan protein powder. The preparation is then carried out in the same way as in the protein-rich version.
These adjustments allow the banana pancake recipe to be flexible to suit different dietary guidelines, be it for a low carb, gluten-free, high protein or vegan diet. Incorporating protein powder into the recipe not only increases nutritional value, but also satiety, making these pancakes a suitable choice for a nutritious meal at any time of the day.
Their easy and quick preparation makes them a popular breakfast that is healthy and still satisfies your sweet cravings without resorting to refined sugar.
