Equipment

  • Fork
  • Frying pan (non-stick) or large skillet
  • High Speed Blender (Vitamix, Ninja or similar) *if making cashew cream*
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Ladle (we found using a ladle to spoon the pancake batter out was the perfect size)
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Wooden Spoon

Ingredients

For the Banana Pancakes

  • 2 Small Ripe Bananas or one large
  • 1 cup Gluten Free Self-Raising Flour
  • 1 cup Plant Milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoon Ground Flaxseed (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda

Instructions

Making the Pancake Batter

  • Mash up the Banana in a large bowl with a fork
    2 Small Ripe Bananas
  • Add in all the remaining Pancake ingredients and using a wooden spoon, stir well to combine, until you have a semi-thick Batter
    1 cup Gluten Free Self-Raising Flour, 1 cup Plant Milk of choice, 2 tablespoon Ground Flaxseed, 1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda

Cooking the Pancakes

  • Heat a frying pan on low to medium heat. 
  • Once the pan is hot, take a ladle of the Pancake mixture and pour desired amount in to the pan (we find one level ladle full is perfect).
  • Cook for 2 minutes on the first side, until bubbles are visible across the top and the edges are being to firm, then flip and cook the other side for a further 1 minute before removing from the pan.

For the Cashew Cream

  • Put the Cashews, Water and Dates in a high speed blender and blend on high speed for 1 minute, until smooth.

For the Toppings

  • Slice the Nectarines, being careful to remove all of the stone from the center.
  • Chop up the Walnuts in to smaller chunks.

To Build

  • Pile the pancakes on the plates and then pour over the Cashew Cream.
  • Top with sliced Nectarine, Blueberries and chopped walnuts, then drizzle with Maple Syrup.

Notes

For the pancake batter: If you feel that the pancake batter is too thin, add another couple of tablespoons of flour and mix well to combine. If you feel that it's too thick, add a couple of tablespoons of plant milk, stirring well. 
If using cashew cream: If your cream is too thick; start with adding 2 tablespoons of water to the blender to thin it out a little, until you reach your desired consistency. If your cream is too thin then Add 5-10 more raw cashews to the mixture and blend for another 30 seconds.
