Banana Flax Pancakes (Gluten and Dairy Free)
These are definitely not traditional pancakes, but very delicious nonetheless. I've made these a couple of times, and each time my kids devoured them served with almond butter. I will admit that they are a bit difficult to flip, and some of mine looked pretty messy. You definitely need to keep them small, use lower heat than traditional pancakes, and cook them a bit longer after they start to bubble before trying to flip them over. Otherwise, they fall apart. Very simple recipe though with only five ingredients: eggs, bananas, ground flax, cinnamon, and coconut oil.

Since my family is now dairy free as well as gluten free, I've been working to include alternative sources of calcium in their diet. Almonds and thus almond butter contain a surprising amount of calcium which makes it a great topping for these gluten and dairy free pancakes.
