Ingredients
For the pancakes
- 3 ripe bananas
- 4 medium eggs (we use organic) lightly beaten
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 250g ground almonds
- a knob of butter, for greasing
- a pinch of ground cinnamon, to dust
- 25g flaked almonds, plus extra to sprinkle on top
- 100g raspberries
- 100g blueberries
For the vanilla yogurt
- a few drops of vanilla extract
- 250ml natural yogurt
- 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup, to taste
Step by step
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°Cgas 4. Line 2 large baking sheets with baking paper and pop them in the oven while you prepare your batter.
- Mash the bananas well with a fork, transfer to a large bowl and whisk in the eggs, vanilla and a large pinch of salt. Mix in the ground almonds to make a smooth batter (or blend it all in a blender or food processor).
-
Remove the trays from the oven; carefully grease the baking paper with a little butter.TipOnly fresh fruit, cinnamon and vanilla are used to sweeten – we like the sour flavour of natural yogurt, but add a dash of honey if you like it a little sweeter.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each pancake onto the tray. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the top and spread it slightly to make them about 7cm in diameter (you may need to do this in batches).
- Sprinkle with a little cinnamon and top with the flaked almonds; bake for 10 minutes.
- Mix a few drops of the vanilla extract into the yogurt with the honey, if using.
- Serve the pancakes topped with a dollop of yogurt and a handful of berries and almonds.
Chef quote
No need to flip or even fry – these gluten-free pancakes are super quick and really easy as they are baked in the oven rather than cooked in a pan.
