CLEAN EATING 3-INGREDIENT PANCAKES

Pancakes and coffee are a classic combo, and one that feels incredibly indulgent for some reason. When you’re trying to be healthy you can get stuck in a rut of eating the same old foods, day in day out. There’s only so many ways to spice up oatmeal, am I right? Pancakes don’t need to be an indulgent treat, in fact I’m about to share a quick, easy recipe that is not only clean but could be enjoyed every morning for breakfast if your little pancake-loving heart is so inclined. They are also gluten free and store really well in the freezer (the ones in this photo were reheated from frozen!) for a quick microwave breakfast that can have you out of the door on time with a nutritious breakfast in your belly.

You will need 2 eggs, one banana and a tablespoon of oats (or oat flour) – you can add stevia, cinnamon, switch up the flour or swap it for protein powder if you are so inclined and it should still work out well. This ratio serves one person, and will give you different amounts of pancakes depending on what pan you use, how big your pancakes are and the thickness. To make a batch simply double, triple or quadruple everything.

• Mix everything together either in a food processor or with a stick blender.
• Let the batter sit in the fridge for ten minutes (ideal scenario, but your pancakes shouldn’t fail if you ain’t got time for that)
• Grease a pan with your oil of choice (I recommend coconut or avocado oil)
• Spoon in your mixture, let it cook on one side and then toss, you will need to be a little more careful with this mixture, so I recommend turning gently using a large spatula.
• Top with your favourite fruit and sweeten with pure maple syrup, liquid stevia, agave, honey or sweet freedom. Go wild!
• Enjoy!

As I mentioned these freeze well once cooked and cooled. I make a big batch at the start of the month and store them in a tupperware ready to defrost on busy mornings!
