Pancakes for everybody!
16:24
So who doesn't love pancakes? This post contains three different ways of making them, we have an easy 2 ingredient way, a way without egg and a way without banana AND egg. So hopefully one of these will work for you!
They are all gluten, dairy, nut (if you ignore my nut butter toppings), soy and refined sugar free. The two without egg are also vegan (obviously!)
2 ingredient pancakes
(makes 5 pancakes)
Ingredients:
1 banana
2 eggs
& your desired toppings
Method:
1. Mash a banana in a bowl, beat in two eggs and mix until well combined.
2. Drizzle a bit of oil into a pan, then pour in the pancake batter.
3.
Flip over the pancake after a couple of minutes, making sure it's
cooked evenly on both sides. Once one is down, flip it onto a plate and
carry on until you have no batter left.
4. Decorate your desired way. I like to use a nut butter or a spread* and some fresh fruit. You can find my guide to making your own nut butters here.
Vegan oat and chia pancakes
(makes 4 pancakes)
Ingredients:
60g oats (I use gluten free oats)
130ml dairy free milk (I use rice milk)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
& your desired toppings
Method:
1.
Start off by making the chia seed egg. Add 3 tablespoons of cold water
to the chia seeds, stir and leave for 5-7 minutes until it turns into a
gloopy consistency.
2. Blitz the oats in a food processor until they turn into a fine flour.
3. Add the milk and the chia seed egg into the oats and blitz again until well combined.
4. Heat a little oil in a small pan then spoon in some of the batter - roughly 2-3 tablespoons.
5.
Cook for 4-5 minutes on both sides, making sure it's cooked through.
Flip onto a plate and continue with the rest of the batter.
6. Decorate your desired way.
Vegan oat and banana pancakes
(makes 4 small pancakes)
Ingredients:
60g oats (I use gluten free oats)
115ml dairy free milk (I use rice)
1/2 banana, mashed
& your desired toppings
Method:
1. Blitz the oats in a food processor until they turn into a fine flour.
2. Add the milk and banana to the food processor and mix again until it's all combined.
3. Heat a little oil in a small pan then spoon in some of the batter - roughly 3 tablespoons.
4. Cook for 3-4 minutes on both sides, making sure it's cooked through. Flip onto a plate and continue with the rest of the batter.
5. Decorate your desired way.
Here are a few ideas of toppings:
* I mentioned Raw Health's spread that I like to use. It's their Cacao Brazil Nut Bliss (an amazing alternative to nutella if you ask me)
The oil I tend to use for pancakes as well happens to be Raw Health's Virgin Coconut Oil, which you can buy on their website or from any local health store e.g. Holland and Barrett.
Happy Baking!

Oh these all look delicious. This may be a silly question, but can you taste the banana in the pancakes? I really don't like banana but making pancakes with banana seems so much easier!
ReplyDeleteYou can taste the banana but it's not that overpowering. However, you could substitute the banana with a small mashed sweet potato, works really well. The last pic of the pancakes with strawberries on top are actually sweet potato pancakes!
DeleteAh okay, thanks! Sweet potato pancakes, now that's interesting aha!
