Ingredients
blank
1 ripe banana
2 eggs
1½ tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp ground flaxseeds
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp coconut oil
blank
Fresh raspberries
Drizzle of honey or agave nectar (optional)
Directions
Place the banana, eggs, chia seeds, flaxseeds and cinnamon into a blender or food processor and pulse until just combined. Avoid over-blending.
Heat half the coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.
Test the temperature with a small spoonful of batter. Small bubbles should appear on the surface as it cooks.
Add 1–2 tablespoons of batter to the pan for each pancake, cooking until the underside is golden before carefully turning.
Pour approx. 1-2 tbsp of mix into the pan, enough to make a 5-6 inch diameter pancake, it should remain light and fluffy as it cooks and again, be easy to turn once cooked on the underside.
Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding the rest of the coconut oil if required. The mixture typically makes 2–3 pancakes.
Serve warm, topped with Raspberry Yoghurt Whip, fresh raspberries and a drizzle of honey or agave if desired.
