Banana pancakes

For the most part, my children will eat everything, or at least try everything I offer them. I do, however, have a problem with getting them to eat bananas. I think it may have something to do with how many bananas they had as babies! It was such a convenient food while out and about that for a while now it’s been a no-go!

These pancakes are also perfect for a baby as finger food or served cold as a lunchbox snack for a reluctant fruit-eater.

1 large banana

2 eggs

Cinnamon for flavour

Throw everything in a blender making sure to only pulse a few times until it's all mixed. If you process until it’s totally smooth, your pancakes will be quite a bit flatter.

Heat your pan to a medium heat and lightly oil your pan. Add spoonfuls of the mixture, and allow to cook until the bottom is set - about 30-40 seconds.

Flip your pancake over and cook for a further 40-60 seconds.

We added some Glenilen Farm yoghurt, berries and maple syrup. The result: delicious and completely devoured.
