Benefits of this recipe

Pancakes, also called hot cakes if you’re American, are one of our favourite foods to enjoy for breakfast, brunch or dessert. However, they’re commonly made with flour, sugar, eggs and milk so aren’t suitable for those with dietary restrictions, those following a plant based diet or those looking to eat healthier. This recipe is great because it’s:-

  • Healthy & sugar free. Flour, sugar, eggs and milk are replaced with nutritious whole ingredients to produce an allergy friendly chocolate pancake recipe.
  • Oven baked. Pancakes are traditionally made in a frying pan, where having to flip each pancake can be time consuming. This recipe makes oven baked pancakes, a variation of sheet pan pancakes – where you transfer the normal pancake mixture to a cake tin and leave it to bake in the oven. They’re a great alternative as they produce the same light fluffy chocolate pancakes while also:-
    • Preventing you standing over a hot stove flipping each one.
    • Require less time to make.
  • Gluten free and dairy free. Traditional pancake ingredients are replaced with allergy friendly alternatives.
  • Made without oil and butter. Pancakes are typically fried in oil or butter. For these baked pancakes, the cake tin is lined with parchment paper.
  • Great for meal prep. A large batch can be made quickly and easily in just 15 minutes – the same amount of time it takes to make one serving. This allows you to have breakfast prepped for the week in one go if desired.


Ingredients

  • Green banana flour (UK Link/US Link). Used to replace regular flour, green banana flour is high in resistant starch, which feeds the good bacteria in the gut, improving gut health and boosting the immune system (1). 
  • Carob powder (UK Link/US Link). Replaces a portion of the flour to provide the delicious chocolate flavour instead of melted chocolate, cocoa or cacao powder as commonly used.  Chocolate, cocoa and cacao powder contain caffeine or other stimulants, which are not suitable for:-
    • Those who are sensitive to caffeine,
    • Those with conditions like dysautonomia and POTS where caffeine can potentially increase symptoms, and
    • Those following the autoimmune protocol looking for an aip pancake recipe.
  • Carob powder is free from caffeine and stimulants, while also being refined sugar free and lower in fat, making it the perfect chocolate alternative. 
  • Arrowroot powder (UK Link/US Link). Used to replace a portion of the flour and provide a light fluffy texture.
  • Tiger nut milk. Tiger nuts are a root vegetable, resulting in an allergy free plant based milk alternative, free from dairy, soy, nuts and grains.
  • Baking soda. To make pancakes with no baking powder, which isn’t suitable for those on a grain free diet and following the autoimmune protocol (baking powder can contain rice flour), baking soda is used to help the pancakes rise and produce a fluffy texture.
  • Berries – to top the pancake with.

Equipment Needed

  • Parchment paper (UK Link/US Link). Make sure it is unbleached like Juvale’s in the UK or If You Care in the US. White parchment paper is coated with chlorine, which leaches a toxic chemical dioxin when heated.


How To Make Pancakes Without Eggs, Milk & Sugar

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until fully combined (do not over mix the batter).
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes at 425°F/220°C/200°C fan, or until the top is set and a toothpick in the centre comes out mostly clean.
  • Leave the chocolate pancake to cool for a few minutes in the tin. Then, transfer to a plate and serve straight away, topped with berries.

Storage

Room Temperature

These pancakes can be stored at room temperature in a glass airtight container. However, they don’t stay fresh for as long so need to be eaten within 24 hours.


Refrigerator & Freezer

Let the pancakes cool to room temperature and then store them in a glass airtight container in the fridge or freezer. Place a sheet of parchment paper between each pancake to prevent them going soggy.

Refrigerated pancakes keep for up to 2 days. Freezing pancakes allows them to be stored for up to 2-3 months. Place a label on the glass container with the date they were refrigerated or frozen so you know when to use them by.


How To Reheat Pancakes

The best way to reheat pancakes is in the oven:-

  • Lay the refrigerated or frozen pancakes out in a single layer on a baking tray covered with parchment paper.
  • Cover the top of the pancakes with parchment paper to prevent them drying out.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 5 minutes at 350°F/180°C/160°C fan, or until the pancakes are warmed all the way through and the temperature of them is at least 165°F or 74°C when a food thermometer is placed in the centre (1).
