Our Favorite Fluffiest Pancakes Recipe
Of all the pancake recipes we have on the blog–including the Superfood Acai Apple Pancakes, Gingerbread Pancakes, Blueberry Flourless Pancakes and Savory Carrot and Brown Rice Dinner Pancakes, I would have to say the fluffy banana pancake recipe below is my absolute favorite.
The Science Behind Making Your Fluffy Banana Pancake Recipe Extra Fluffy
There is actually real science behind how to make pancakes fluffy. The biggest thing you’ll want to note, not to overstir your batter. It’s important to just mix the dry and wet ingredients until just combined.
If you over mix, your pancakes will not be nearly as fluffy. Over-mixing your pancake batter will result in tough, rubbery and flat pancakes (boo!!)

Hi, thank you so much for this recipe. It looks and sounds amazing. I was recently put on an elimination diet and I am basically everything free. I can have every single ingrediant in the recipe, except the eggs. Have you ever used egg replacer before? I had a really a disapponting expereince before, but really want to try your pancakes. Have you ever tried it without eggs? Will the recipe fail without eggs?

Yes -- you can definitely make a flax egg using 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal and 2.5 tablespoons of water, stir them together and let them sit for about 5 minutes. It will make a gel like "flax egg" and you can use this as a 1:1 replacement in the recipe. Please try it out and let me know how it works!
