Applesauce and Dryer Lint: Pure and Simple Baby Banana Griddle Cakes

I bet you're wondering what I'm doing writing about banana cakes at 2 in the morning! Ok, so maybe you're not (I kind of am, though. Especially since Clyde has been determined to wake up and stay awake at 7:30AM each day.), but in any case I'll tell you. Ryan has been working the night shift and has a couple nights off. He has to keep up his schedule, though, so he's staying up late creating his boardgame... and I'm staying up with him. I figured it gives me a good time to rant about breakfast. ;)
This morning (Well, I suppose it was YESTERDAY morning now) I was thinking about hw much I wanted pancakes when my mom texted me asking for a gluten-free pancake recipe. That made it final.

I whipped up some pretty awesome ones, but I'll tell you about that in a minute.

First, while I was making them Clyde was "helping." He started getting kinda cranky. I knew he was hungry, too, and wanted him to share in the pancake fun. I had some banana baby food that needed finishing off, so I added a few ingredients and threw it on the griddle.

Pure and Simple Baby Banana Griddle Cakes

~1 Tbsp banana puree
~1 tsp brown rice flour

~1/8 tsp baking powder

A very teeny-tiny amount of salt (optional)

This makes enough for 2 half-dollar sized pancakes. Or one slightly bigger one. They cook pretty fast, so whatch them. They'll be kind of sticky in the middle (since they're mostly banana).
They actually turned out very tasty (yes, of course I tasted them)!

Clyde loved them! He only ate about half of one, though... he was more interested in playing with them.

I bet you could make these with pretty much any flavor of puree/baby food. In fact, why reserve them for just baby (I'll take the sweet potatos!)? Seriously, they're THAT good.

Now for our pancakes. I added blueberries, shredded zucchini, and flax seed meal. They were incredible if I do say so myself! Oh, and Ryan said so, too. :P
