Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or preferred dairy-free milk)
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Banana (mashed)
• 4 tablespoons Butter (or dairy-free option)
• 0.5 cup Dark brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping sauce)
• 2 large Bananas (sliced into rounds)
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum
• 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, and mashed banana until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Step 5

Spoon 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 6

To make the bananas foster topping, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the dark brown sugar and cinnamon, and cook until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the caramel sauce.

Step 8

Carefully add the dark rum to the skillet and stir. If desired, use a long lighter to ignite the rum for a flambé effect (use caution and ensure no loose clothing or flammable materials are near the flame). Let the flame burn out naturally.

Step 9

Stir in the maple syrup and cook for another minute until everything is heated through.

Step 10

To serve, stack the pancakes on a plate and spoon the warm bananas foster topping over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy your indulgent gluten-free treat!
