Thick and Fluffy Apple Pie Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 apple
- 100g mashed banana
- 50g self-raising flour (gluten free if required)
- A squeeze of lemon juice (fresh or concentrated)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 100ml any milk (such as almond if vegan)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Optional additions
- 1 tbsp sultanas or crushed pecans
Preparation
Chop the banana into chunks and microwave for 1 minute until mushy. Overripe banana works best as it is naturally sweeter.
Cut the apple crosswise into thin slices and remove the core and pips with a sharp knife. You can leave the apple skin on. Cut into five slices. If you want yours to look extra fancy, use an apple corer to make rings.
Put all of the other ingredients into a bowl and mix until smooth.
Spray some low-fat cooking oil or coconut oil into a pan and dip each apple into the batter until all the batter is used up. If you have any excess batter, just pour a bit on top of each pancake in the pan.
Fry the pancakes on each side for a minute or so until they are golden.
Serve warm as they are or with low-fat yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup.
