Ingredients

• ▢ 2 medium-sized ripe bananas , peeled
• ▢ 85 g (⅔ cup) ground almonds (almond meal)
• ▢ 85 g (⅔ cup) gluten-free flour blend (or sub plain flour if not gluten-free)
• ▢ 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• ▢ 1 heaped teaspoon baking powder (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
• ▢ 60 ml (¼ cup) unsweetened almond milk (or sub any other plant-based milk)
• ▢ 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (ensure gluten-free if necessary)*

To fry:

• ▢ Coconut oil (or sub olive or vegetable oil)

Instructions

• Mash the bananas in a bowl (easiest to do it in a wide-bottomed bowl) with a fork, until you get a smooth paste
• Transfer into a large bowl with all the other ingredients and mix well (no need to sift the flours)
• Heat up a tiny bit of oil in a frying pan (non-stick is best) and spoon or ladle in a small amount of the pancake batter
• Cook on a low heat for a few minutes until you see a few bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake
• Flip over and cook for another few minutes, until golden brown and crispy on both sides
• Repeat for the rest of the batter - makes 5 pancakes
• Best eaten immediately but leftovers do keep covered in the fridge - reheat in a dry frying pan

Notes

*The acidic vinegar reacts with the alkali bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to make a fluffy batter - if you don’t have vinegar you can use lemon juice instead.
