- 1 cup White rice flour
- 1 Tbsp Tapioca starch
- 1 tsp Baking powder -> list of gluten-free brands

Instructions

- Take a mixing bowl and smash the bananas with a fork until you reach an eggy consistency.
- Add peanut butter and mix it well.
- Add milk + ACV and stir until combined.
- Finally, add the rice flour, tapioca starch, and baking powder. Mix it again thoroughly. Now, you are ready to heat up your griddle or non-stick frying pan.
- Spoon ¼ - ⅓ cup of the batter onto skillet and flip when bubbles appear and edges harden. Use low-medium heat to make sure that the pancakes are cooked thoroughly.

Notes
Add-ins
- Fresh blueberries - You can add the blueberries to the batter and mix it in the bowl. However, what I like more is that I add the blueberries while the first side is cooking. Just take a couple and pop them by hand. Then flip. This is to make sure every pancake is loaded with blueberries.
- Chocolate chips - I would say it is another obvious choice. Mix in the batter some chocolate chips and go from there.
- Any fruit really - You can add any fruit you like. We made them with chopped strawberries, mixed berries, shredded apple with cinnamon.
- Chopped nuts - Any type you like.
- Dried fruits like cranberries or raisins
- Citrus zest - Add a tablespoon of lemon or orange zest. So yummy, especially lemon combined with blueberries.
- Vanilla extract - I can definitely taste the bananas. If you don't want that add vanilla extract or any of the above add-ins to overpower it.
- Cocoa powder - Add a tablespoon, if you want to turn them into chocolate pancakes.
Topping suggestions
- Fresh fruit or fruit sauces (like this quick strawberry puree)
- Whipped cream
- Vegan chocolate frosting, which is actually coconut whipped cream
- Nutella
- Banana slices
- Chocolate chips or chocolate sauce
- Caramel sauce
- Toasted nuts
