Fluffy Banana & Chia Seed Pancakes 🥞✨
Looking for a breakfast that’s as nutritious as it is delicious? These banana and chia seed pancakes are a total game-changer. They are naturally sweet, light, and protein-rich—with half an egg in every pancake!
They take minutes to whip up and can be stored in the fridge for 2 days.
Ingredients
🍌 2 Ripe Bananas (extra ripe = extra sweet)
🥚 2 Eggs
🌾 70g Plain Flour
✨ 1 Heaped tsp Baking Powder
🌱 1 tsp Chia Seeds
🥥 Coconut Oil for cooking
Method
Mash the bananas until smooth, then whisk in the eggs.
Stir in the chia seeds.
Gently fold in the flour and baking powder (don’t overwork the batter for maximum fluffiness!).
Heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan over medium heat.
Pour the batter to make 4 pancakes.
Flip when you see bubbles forming on the surface (usually 3-4 mins per side) until golden.
Serving Suggestion
I served Eli's with fresh oranges, creamy yoghurt, a drizzle of honey, crunchy peanut butter, and semi-dried figs. 🐥
Dietitian’s Note
These are fantastic for baby-led weaning! Simply make them smaller. They can be frozen too!
