Chocolate And Banana Pancakes – Gluten & Dairy Free

June 4, 2017 by Shellie Wilson

Firstly, let me start off by telling you I have a current addiction to fresh figs. I don’t know what the deal is, someone gave me some of their overpriced Cafe Granola because they didn’t like them, and one thing led to another, and now Figs and I have a love affair. So obviously seeing these Figs sitting on top of my other love chocolate, it was meant to be.

If you want this mouthwatering recipe then you need to head over to Hungry Australian. 

Creating delicious gluten-free pancakes at home is both achievable and satisfying. By selecting appropriate gluten-free flours and ingredients, you can enjoy pancakes that are light, fluffy, and full of flavor. Below is a comprehensive guide to making gluten-free pancakes, including a detailed recipe, tips for achieving the best texture, and suggestions for variations.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum; if not, add 1/4 teaspoon)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Mix the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense pancakes.

Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate and improves the texture of the pancakes.

Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Serve: Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Quick and Easy Dubai Chocolate-Dipped Dates

I’m completely smitten with the idea of Dubai-style desserts — elegant, a touch exotic, and somehow always Instagram-ready. I haven’t made it to Dubai (yet), but these chocolate-dipped dates bring that luxe, golden glow right into my kitchen. They’re the kind of treat that looks like you spent hours making them, but really, you’re done in under twenty minutes.

They’re sweet, sticky, nutty, and just the right amount of fancy. Perfect for gifting, nibbling with coffee, or impressing that friend who thinks “homemade” means complicated.

Ingredients

  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted 
  • ¼ cup pistachios or almonds (to stuff inside) 
  • 100g dark chocolate (or milk chocolate if you prefer it sweet) 
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate) 
  • Crushed pistachios, shredded coconut, or edible gold flakes for decoration 

Instructions

  1. Prep the Dates:
    Slice each date along one side to remove the pit, keeping the date mostly intact. Fill the cavity with a whole almond or a few chopped pistachios. Gently close the date back up.
  2. Melt the Chocolate:
    Place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  3. Dip and Decorate:
    Dip each stuffed date halfway into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Lay them on a parchment-lined tray. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with crushed pistachios, coconut, or a pinch of edible gold flakes for that Dubai sparkle.
  4. Chill and Serve:
    Pop the tray into the fridge for about 10–15 minutes, just until the chocolate firms up. Serve on a pretty platter or package them in small gift boxes.

Optional Flavor Twists

  • Rose Touch: Add a drop of rose water to the melted chocolate for a floral note. 
  • Saffron Luxe: Dust the top with crushed saffron threads before chilling. 
  • Coffee Kick: Dip in mocha-flavored chocolate for a bolder bite. 

Why You’ll Love These

They’re everything Dubai desserts stand for — rich, refined, and effortlessly elegant. A little old-world tradition wrapped in modern chocolate bliss. Keep a few in the fridge for when you need something sweet but can’t be bothered to turn on the oven.
