Chickpea Pancakes

This absolute banger of a recipe comes from my mom- also my photographer extraordinaire! She started making these a few years ago and has tested and tweaked it to perfection.

I don’t even like pancakes that much (waffles always win with me) but this recipe made me change my mind. After she made them for me we had them not once but twice in one week- they are THAT good. As always, they are gluten free, and are a great source of protein. I promise you can’t tell there’s chickpea flour in them- they are fluffy and super flavorful. I like to serve them with a dollop of yoggu, some simmered berries or jam, and maple syrup.

INGREDIENTS

1 ripe banana
1 egg
1 cup milk of your choice
1 cup chickpea flour
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp arrowroot starch
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp coconut oil, for the pan

INSTRUCTIONS

Put all ingredients in a blender and mix well. Heat a frying pan to medium heat, melt 1 tbsp coconut oil in the pan. Pour batter in pan, cook 2 - 3 minutes per side.
