When you are craving something sweet, pancakes can really hit the spot and they don't have to be loaded with sugar to do so. 

Carissa has kindly shared her go-to pancake recipe that she uses her MOD Blend Pro to help prepare. This recipe is quick and easy and it can be made during the working week.

The best thing about pancakes is the toppings (of course!). There are no rules with pancake toppings, so do whatever tickles your fancy! Carissa topped the pancakes pictured with creamy tahini, coconut yoghurt, a chocolate paleo mix, berries, kiwifruit and honey.

When Carissa is in a rush, she will smother her pancakes in peanut butter and honey, whack a whole banana in there and wrap the pancake around the banana and eat it as she is walking out the door.

Plate Sized Pancake Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 x egg

  • 1 small ripe banana

  • 4 TBSP buckwheat flour

  • 1/4 cup almond milk

  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • Extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil, for frying

  • Topping of choice (see the method for some great suggestions) 

Directions

  1. Blend all of the ingredients together in your MOD Blend Pro until smooth and a batter consistency is created. 

  2. Place a large fry pan or crepe pan on the stove over a medium heat and add a teaspoon or so of your preferred oil. Once the oil is hot, pour your pancake batter in straight from the blender jug. It should spread out a bit so that size wise, it is similar to a medium sized plate. 

  3. Let it cook on one side for a few minutes and once it looks brownish on the under side, flip it and cook the other side. When it is golden on both sides, transfer the pancake to your plate. 

  4. Top with your favourite toppings! Nut butters, maple syrup, sliced banana, berries, tahini, fruit, shaved dark chocolate...the sky's the limit!
