BLUEBERRY AND LEMON PANCAKES

By Melissa Hemsley

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas (total 200g), peeled
  • 100g quinoa flakes
  • 180ml any milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • tiny pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 – 2 tablespoon coconut oil (for frying)
  • zest of 1/2 lemon (adding 1/2 to the pancake & 1/2 for sprinkling on top)
  • For the blueberries: 2 tsp maple syrup 2 handfuls frozen blueberries juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients for the pancakes (except the oil) in a blender or food processor & whizz for about 30 seconds. Alternatively, mash the bananas with a fork & mix in a jug with all the remaining ingredients.
  • Melt a little of the coconut oil in a large frying pan on a high heat.
  • Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the batter into the pan & use the back of the spoon to swirl into a rough circle about 1cm thick and 8cm wide. Repeat to make another two to three pancakes, depending on the size of your pan. Reduce the heat to medium & leave the pancakes to set for 1½ minutes. When they start to bubble, flip them over & 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 eight pancakes. (Place the pancakes on a plate in a low oven to keep warm while you make the rest).
  • Once your pancakes are made & keeping warm, whip up some coconut yoghurt or full fat natural yoghurt & gently heat up the blueberries, with a little maple syrup, in your pancake pan until they are hot through & softening.
  • Serve your pancakes topped with yoghurt swirled with the berries & zest
