This recipe will make approx. 10 small pancakes.
Ingredients:
- 125g plain flour
- 25g ground almonds
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 250ml soya milk
Method:
- Place all the pancake ingredients into a large measuring jug. Blend with a hand blender until you get a smooth batter.
- Add a dash of your chosen oil to a frying pan and spoon in the mixture to form small circles.
- Cook for several minutes, or until small bubbles start appearing on the surface. Flip the pancake over and cook for 1-2 mins on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the pancakes warm in a low oven.
- To serve, warm up a few teaspoons of chocolate hazelnut spread then drizzle over the pancakes and serve with fresh berries, kiwi fruit, bananas etc.
