VEGAN (with substitutions)
VEGETARIAN
REFINED SUGAR FREE
DAIRY FREE (with substitutions)
Ingredients:
1 cup milk (or milk alternative)
1 ripe banana
1 1/4 cups wholemeal self-raising flour (or flour alternative)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbs chia seeds
For the maqui version, add
1 tsp maqui powder to the mixture.
Optional ingredients:
sweetener,
1 tsp vanilla essence.
Method:
1. Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend until a smooth batter is formed (add more or less milk/flour for desired consistency).
2. Pour batter into fry pan and cook like normal pancakes (I cooked half the pancakes with the first 5 ingredients then added macqui powder to the remaining batter and cooked them too).
3. Layer pancakes on a plate and top with whatever takes your fancy (eg. yoghurt for a protein and calcium boost, fresh fruit for a fibre and antioxidant boost or chia seed jam and na-na ice-cream for a vegan friendly nutrition boost).
