Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 1 banana
- 2 eggs
- 40g coconut flour (or use shredded coconut)
- 60g oat flour (or use whole oats)
- 1 tbsp. Greek yoghurt
1 scoop Impact Whey Protein (Vanilla) - 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- ¼ tsp. salt
Optional toppings:
- Handful blueberries
- 1 tbsp. Greek yoghurt
1 tbsp. Sugar-Free Syrup (Maple)
or
1 tbsp. Sugar-Free Syrup (Maple) - 2 rashers streaky bacon
Method
1. Add all of the pancake ingredients to a food processor and blend. (See the video for the desired consistency of the pancake batter, you may need to add a splash milk if it’s too thick, or some more oats if it’s not thick enough).
2. Heat a non-stick pan on a low heat and add a ladle/large spoonful of pancake mixture to the pan.
3. Cook each pancake for roughly 90 seconds before flipping and cooking for another minute. You should aim to get a total of five pancakes from the mixture.
4. Stack your pancakes and then add toppings of your choice. Tip: try heating the maple syrup in the microwave for 30 seconds, it makes it nicer!
