RECIPE
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
1/4 cup tapioca starch
2 small bananas mashed (or oob organic frozen banana, defrosted)
1 cup drinking coconut milk
1/3 cups coconut sugar
2 tsp baking powder aluminium free
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
To serve
pure maple syrup
fresh banana slices
frozen oob organic raspberry chia jam
Instructions
Sieve the buckwheat flour, tapioca starch and baking powder into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Using a spoon, create a well in the centre of the flour mixture and then set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk the mashed banana with the egg, or gently blend in a food processor. Pour banana mixture into well of flour and begin whisking gently while gradually pouring in the coconut milk.
Whisk the wet ingredients in the centre of the flour mixture, allowing the wet ingredients to gradually pull more flour from the sides of the bowl into the centre. Once flour is completely incorporated into wet ingredients, set aside.
Heat a drizzle of oil or butter in a frypan on a medium heat. Once the frypan is hot enough, add the first batch of pancakes (about 1/3 cup of batter per pancake). Flip the pancakes once bubbles start to rise to the surface and cook on second side until golden brown.
Serve straight away with pure maple syrup, banana slices and raspberry jam!
To make frozen oob organic raspberry chia jam:
500g raspberries
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp chia seeds
Put the raspberries in a pan with the vanilla and honey, then cook over a low heat for 5 mins or until the berries have broken down.
Stir through the chia and cook for 10 mins. Set aside to cool completely (it will thicken significantly as it cools). Spoon into a bowl or sterilised jar.
