Easy Peasy Pancakes


I discovered this delightful recipe last week and I think it may change my life or certainly my breakfast. I love pancakes but hate how they can leave you feeling heavy in your stomach and also like you need a nap at 10am. Even gluten free varieties can be very heavy but this recipe is like no other...! 


It's Gluten Free / Dairy Free / Paleo / Low-carb-ish. It takes 5 minutes to make, it's high in protein so it will fill you up all morning and prevent any blood sugar crashes too.

All you need for 1 pancake is:
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsps of ground flax or ground almonds (I have tried both and both are amazing!)
  • 1 banana
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp of coconut oil for cooking
  • Toppings: whatever you fancy but I used a cup blueberries
What to do
  1. Blend the first 4 ingredients on the list together so it's nice and smooth
  2. Heat the coconut oil in a pancake or frying pan
  3. Add in the mixture and cook on a medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes or until it looks slightly brown.
  4. Plonk on your plate with some blueberries on top or any other fruit or nut variety and gobble up. Nom Nom!
NB: This makes a fairly thick pancake so don't expect it to look like a crepe. Enjoy :)
