Weekend mornings are made for these! I almost hesitate to call them pancakes as they are almost more fritter-ish. Lots of banana flavour, and a lot denser than a typical pancake. if you are a fan of fluffy style pancakes these may not be your jam. But if you love the combo of warm banana vanilla flavours with maple syrup, then give these a try! With added plant protein and naturally GF buckwheat flour, these are full of nutrients and very satisfying. I like to make them listening to Jack Johnson's Banana Pancakes for that extra joy!

Ingredients
-
3 large quite ripe bananas
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1 scoop Niyama Clean Plant Protein Vanilla
-
1/3 cup buckwheat flour (or sub another GF flour)
-
pinch of sea salt
-
coconut oil for frying
-
maple syrup & fresh fruit for serving
Directions
Mash the peeled bananas in a bowl until smooth and wet - some lumps are ok
add the baking powder and stir well
Add the sea salt, buckwheat and the protein powder and combine until you have a thick batter
Heat your pan (i like a cast iron but you do you) and add 1 TBSP of coconut oil
Drop about 2-3 TBSP batter per pancake into the pan, depending on how big you like them - smaller seems to work better with this thicker batter
Cook for a minute or two until the bottom is golden brown then flip - don't wait for the bubble to form as they batter is thick so by they time they form the bottom may be overdone
Lightly pat down with your spatula to disburse the middle and ensure they cook evenly. cook the second side, ensuring you cook all the way through
Transfer to a plate and repeat until all the batter is gone - keep the first ones warm in the oven or just eat/serve as you go!
Garnish with fresh fruit and maple syrup
Recipe Note
Any leftovers will freeze well and be lovely warmed up in the toaster or microwave
