Makes: 8-10 pancakes, serves 2

 

Time: 10 minutes prep + 10 minutes cooking

 

Ingredients:

120g oats

1 ripe banana

1 tbsp chia seeds

2 tbsp Liberation Peanut Butter

200ml plant-based milk

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp Traidcraft White or Golden Caster Sugar

40g Divine 85% Dark Ginger Chocolate, chopped

100g Tropical Wholefoods Sun-Dried Banana Chewy Chips

Oil, for frying

 

Serving: coconut yoghurt, extra banana chewy cups, chopped chocolate, melted chocolate, peanut butter, berries/pomegranate

 

Method:

1. Add the oats, banana, chia seeds, peanut butter, milk, baking powder and sugar to a blender and blend until smooth. Leave to rest for 5 minutes. Stir through the chocolate.
2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan with a little oil and add ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Shape into a circle and top with 5-6 chewy banana pieces. Once bubbling and cooked underneath, flip over to cook on the second side. Repeat to make all the pancakes.
3. In between pancakes, remove any melted chocolate left in the pan as it will catch and burn.
4. Serve warm stacked and topped with some yoghurt, extra peanut butter, chewy banana pieces, chopped chocolate, melted chocolate and fresh berries.
