Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a blender and pulse to combine. Alternatively, mash the banana with a fork and then, using a whisk, incorporate the egg and milk. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk gently until combined. Whichever way you to choose to prepare these, take care not to over work the mixture.
    ½ small banana, 1 large egg, 250 ml almond milk, 125 g spelt flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon rapeseed oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium heat (or crêpe pan or flat griddle). There is no need to oil the pan if it is non-stick. Once hot, add dollops of the pancake batter - I use a quarter cup measure. Cook until bubbles appear across the surface of the pancake. The edges will also look set. Using a spatula, flip the pancakes over and continue to cook on the other side for about a minute. Serve hot.

Notes

Take care not to let your pan get too hot - you're aiming for golden brown but these pancakes can easily blacken if you let the pan get too hot.
This recipe makes 8 small pancakes - the nutrition label is for 1 pancake.
