Healthy Pancakes
Delicious healthy pancakes that are easy and are free from refined sugar
This is a recipe I made up after looking for the perfect pancake recipe and just not finding what I was after. All the pancake recipes I found, all had sugar in them or just didnt come out tasting nice. So after plenty of research and baking, I finally come out with a pancake recipe that is healthier, easy and really tasty. You can also make this into any flavour you want, you can add choc chips, blueberries, cinnamon or any fruits and spices you like. They can be versatile, so you can enjoy them just the way you like.
Healthy Pancakes
Ingredients
-
3 ripe bananas
-
2 eggs
-
1Tblsp vanilla
-
2Tblsp oil (I use extra virgin olive oil or you can use coconut oil)
-
2Tblsp honey
-
2 cups all purpose flour (or gluten free flour)
-
1 1/2 - 2 cups milk (or nut milk)
-
1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks** optional
Directions
-
In a large bowl, mash the bananas
-
To the bowl, add all the wet ingredients: vanilla, honey, oil and eggs and mix until well incorporated
-
Next add the flour and give it a little mix
-
Finally slowly start adding in your milk, a little bit at a time until you get the consistancy you like your pancake batter to be
-
Once you have got your desired consistancy, now is the time to add your flavoured extras. We often add in choc chips or blueberries for the kids, but they are tasty with or without added extras
-
Using a griddle or fry pan, heat it up on the stove, melt some butter to avoid sticking and pour batter to how ever big you like them
-
Serve on a plate with your favourite toppings

**This recipe feeds our family of 5 with extras we like to keep in the freezer for a later date or snacks for the kids.
