Banana Almond Pancake


Soft, fluffy and delicious banana pancakes made without eggs. Indeed these pancakes are one of the yummy and delicious.

These make a great BREAKFAST and can be made under 15 minutes. They can be served with any kind of your favourite toppings.

Like butter /maple syrup or any fruits of yoUr choice or Chocolate syrup with caramelized bananas & choco chips are some of the toppings that go very well for these pancakes.

It works well with plain flour or whole wheat flour. I have used Self-raising flour and almond Flour.

I have used fat-free milk in this recipe, since. You can also use plain water or any nut milk or organic milk.

Ingredients

2 overripe banana

3/4 cup Fat-Free milk 

1 cup Self Raising flour or all-purpose flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp Almond flour

Toppings

Maple Syrup

Butter (optional)

Method

In a bowl, mash the peeled banana and add milk and make a smooth paste.in a separate bowl Take self-raising flour & Add-in Banana and milk mixture. Whisk until incorporated. Let the batter sit for a few minutes.

Spray a flat pan or griddle with oil and heat it up to medium to low heat. Add a small ladle of pancake batter

Let it cook until the middle becomes bubbly and the corners set, then flip with a spatula. Let it cook on the other side until done. Repeat for all the pancakes.

Stack the pancakes, drizzle with Maple Syrup add a dash of butter (optional ) or top with fresh fruits or whipped cream.

Notes:-

If the batter spreads too much in the pan, whisk a bit more flour into the batter. If it doesn’t spread enough, add a bit more milk. Flip the pancakes when you see small bubbles in the centre.

If your pancakes are golden brown on the outside but not cooked all the way through, reduce the heat!

If your pancakes stick to the pan, make sure you use a non-stick pan or griddle and to spray the pan with oil before adding the batter.

overnight oats with chia Seeds


Make breakfast a breeze with a grab-and-go recipe for Healthy Overnight Oats with Chia and your choice of toppings.

Instead of cooking oatmeal and milk, it is refrigerated overnight to become soft and creamy.  The key is to refrigerate the overnight oats for at least 4-5 hours.

After the overnight oats have been chilled, top them with fresh fruits, nuts, coconut, almond butter, or peanut butter anything your heart desires.

All you have to remember is the ratio 1:1. That’s one part old fashioned oats to one part liquid (i.e. milk, yoghurt, juice, etc.). Stir in a tablespoon of nutrient-rich chia seeds then pop your breakfast into the fridge.

Chia seeds also provide a good amount of fibre, omega-3’s, and protein. but do consult your health provider before using it.
