“When one of my sons and I had to change to a gluten-free diet, I searched for recipes that tasted great. These pancakes are low-cal, as well. I cook extras and freeze them. Then, when I’m short on time, I toss a couple in the toaster. You’ll love the fluffy texture and the chocolate.” —Sharen Gustafson, South Lyon, Michigan

Banana BasicsLook for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness. If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe. Adding an apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.

I can't thank Sharen enough for this delicious pancake recipe. My grandson has so many allergies and this recipe was perfect for him. He is two and wanted to eat pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They were so fluffy and delicious. The whole family enjoyed them.

They turned out mushy and raw in the middle, no matter how long I cooked them. I added1 cup of rice flour and a half cup more milk, and that did the trick to make them edible. They were great after I made the additions.

They were gooey and very unappetizing. No matter how long I cooked them.
