Although made with bananas, these pancakes don’t taste strongly of them. Banana is used to give substance and a natural sweetness, while the quinoa flakes and egg not only add protein but also help bind the mixture.

Serves:
2
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas (total 200g), peeled
100g quinoa flakes
180ml any milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
Tiny pinch of sea salt
2 tsp maple syrup
1 1/2 to 2 tbsp coconut oil, for frying
Method
Preparation
Place all the ingredients for the pancakes (except the oil) in a blender or food processor and whizz for about 30 seconds. Alternatively, mash the bananas with a fork and mix in a jug with all the remaining ingredients (except the oil).
Melt a little of the coconut oil in a large frying pan on a high heat.
Spoon about 3 tbsp of the batter into the pan and use the back of the spoon to swirl into a rough circle about 1cm thick and 8cm wide. Repeat to make another 2-3 pancakes, depending on the size of your pan. Reduce the heat to medium and leave the pancakes to set for 1½ minutes. When they start to bubble, flip each one over and cook for 1 minute on the other side.
Remove from the pan and repeat with the rest of the batter, using a little more of the coconut oil each time, until you have made 8 pancakes. Place the pancakes on a plate in a low oven to keep warm while you make the rest.
Serve as is, or add your favourite toppings.
Topping suggestions
100g mixed berries, a spoonful of natural yoghurt, crushed pistachios and a drizzle of maple syrup
2 apples, grated, a sprinkling of cinnamon and a spoonful of toasted flaked almonds
