INGREDIENTS

For the batter

1 banana, peeled

2 eggs (or vegan egg alternative)

1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

2 tbsp self-raising gluten-free flour 

Oil, for cooking

For the chocolate sauce

1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

1 tbsp coconut oil 

1 tbsp cacao powder 

Topping suggestions

sliced banana, seeds, and an extra drizzle of honey

METHOD

Mash the banana in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and honey and combine well with a fork. Mix in the flour. Leave the batter to rest for 5 minutes. 

To make the chocolate sauce, place the honey and coconut oil in a pan over a low heat. Once the coconut oil has melted add the cacao powder and whisk to create a silky sauce.

Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan, fill a ladle with the pancake batter and spoon into the pan. If your pan is large enough you can cook more than one pancake at a time. Cook on each side until golden then transfer to a warm place.
