Wholemeal Banana and Flaxseed pancakes Serves 3-4
Ingredients:
100g wholemeal self-raising flour (use Coconut flour for Low FODMAP)
1 tsp flaxseeds
1 egg100ml semi-skimmed milk (Use zymil milk for Low FODMAP)
2 small bananas, sliced
2 tsp rapeseed oil
4 tsp honey (Use Maple syrup for Low FODMAP)
4 strawberries, quartered
Method:
- Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl and then stir in the flaxseeds.
- Whisk the eggs and milk together in a jug. Make a well in the center of the flour/flaxseed mixture and add the egg/milk. Using a whisk, gently move the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until smooth. Add the sliced banana and mix.
- Heat half the rapeseed oil in a large pan over a medium heat and pour 2 tablespoons of the pancake mixture at a time. Cook on one side for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom and you see the pancake puff up. Flip and cook for a further 1-2 mins.
- Remove from the pan and keep warm (can be put into oven on very low heat) until the remainder of the mixture is used.
- Serve pancakes drizzled with honey (or maple syrup) and scatter the strawberries over the top.
Tip: The pancakes can be frozen after cooking and re-heated in the toaster for a super quick warm breakfast.
Ideal toppings: Spread some goats cheese and fresh berries with small drizzle honey or Low fat ricotta cheese with sliced pear.
