  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • A tiny pinch sea salt
  • 1½–2 tbsp butter or coconut oil

method

Place ingredients for pancakes (except the butter/ oil) in a blender or food processor & whizz for about 30 secs. Alternatively, mash bananas with a fork & mix in a jug with theremaining ingredients.

Melt a little of butter/ 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 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 pancakes are made & keeping warm, whip up coconut yog or full fat natural yog. Gently heat up berries with 1 tbsp water & a little maple syrup, in your pancake pan until hot through & softening. If using raw honey drizzle over at the end
