Ingredients for this recipe
Banana: Use ripe bananas for extra sweetness.
Almond milk: We’ve used almond milk, but soya milk, rice milk, or coconut milk (from a cartoon) might work too.
Egg: At room temperature.
Oat flour: Ensure is gluten-free. Oats are naturally gluten-free. However, they’re often contaminated with gluten because they may be processed in the same facilities as gluten-containing grains.
Vanilla extract: Adds extra flavor.
Coconut sugar: An healthier option than refined sugar. However, you can still use refined sugar if you prefer.
Baking powder: Will help your pancakes rise.
Salt: To enhance all flavors.
Chocolate chips: Ensure they’re dairy-free for a dairy-free version.
How to make this recipe
Add the banana, almond milk, egg, oat flour, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt into a food processor or blender, and blend until smooth.
Heat a skillet or a frying pan over low heat and grease the pan with coconut oil.
Once hot, pour a ladle of the batter into the pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips on top. Add as many chocolate chips as you want.
Let it cook for about 1 or 2 minutes. When bubbles start to appear all over the top, flip it very gently and let it cook for more 1 minute, then plate.
Repeat this process until you have used all the batter.
