These fluffy and flavorful AIP Banana Pancakes are a comforting breakfast treat, perfect for those following an Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet. Made with cassava and tigernut flours, they’re naturally grain-free, nut-free, and dairy-free. Pair them with an optional carob sauce for a decadent twist!

Ingredients

Scale

Pancakes:

  • 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour
  • 3/4 cup tigernut flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed (about 1/2 cup)
  • Coconut oil, for frying

Optional Carob Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons carob powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • A few drops of pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

For the Pancakes:

  1. In a blender, combine all pancake ingredients in the order listed. Blend briefly until just combined; the batter should be thick but pourable. Avoid over-blending.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with coconut oil.
  3. Spoon batter onto the skillet to form small pancakes (~2.5 inches in diameter). Cook for about 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges begin to set.
  4. Flip gently and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with remaining batter.

For the Carob Sauce:

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together all sauce ingredients over medium heat.
  2. Simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and slightly thickened.
  3. Cool to room temperature or refrigerate until needed. Reheat gently before serving.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Serve pancakes warm with fresh fruit and a drizzle of carob sauce for added sweetness.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Keep pancakes small for even cooking and easier flipping.
  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture.

Storage & Reheating: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze individually wrapped for up to a month. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet over low heat to maintain texture—avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
