Can You Freeze These Almond Flour Pancakes?
Yes! This recipe is for a larger amount of pancakes. So what I do is make sure to make the entire batch then freeze a portion. Then on those busy mornings, pull some pancakes from the freezer and you have an easy breakfast waiting for you!
Just layout your cooked pancakes on a lined cookie sheet. Make sure to do a single layer, and don’t let the pancakes touch. Toss in the freezer and once they are frozen, transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container.
Store for up to 3 months. Just toss your frozen pancakes in the microwave for a quick reheat or even toss them in the toaster if they are the right size.
How To Ripen Bananas Fast
Want to make the recipe, but your bananas are not ripe enough yet? All you have to do is poke some holes in the skin of your bananas, and place them on a plate and put in the microwave.
Start by doing 1 minute, then check the bananas. You will want them to be pretty soft. So I tend to then move to 30-second heat ups and check each time so I don’t overcook the bananas.
Once they are tender and soft to the touch, let cool a bit then peel and smash your super ripe bananas.
Be aware though, that using bananas that are not ripe will not give you that sweet flavor you want in this recipe.

How To Know When Gluten Free Pancakes Are Done
You will find when cooking with almond flour in terms of a pancake, the cooking process is slightly different. You won’t see the pancakes bubble around the edges as a traditional pancake does. All you need to do is gently lift up an edge of the pancake to peek to see how the color is.
Once golden brown flip the pancakes and finish cooking. Pancakes always firm up to the touch once they are done. So just aim to not overcook these pancakes.
