Banana Pancakes

“Waking up too early, maybe we can sleep in,

Make you banana pancakes, pretend like it’s the weekend now,

And we could pretend it all the time...”

— Jack Johnson

Ain't that just a beautiful tune. And I think it's the reason why banana pancakes are the symbol of a relaxing Sunday morning for me! It's a time to chill out, have a sleep in and recharge for the week ahead.

This recipe is your friend. It makes around 3-4 medium sized, tender and fluffy pancakes and takes only minutes to make. Double the mixture for 6-8 pancakes.

My favourite topping is a drizzle of maple syrup and a tonne of sliced strawberries. And if you want to get fancy, a sprinkle of muesli, coconut and cacao sends the taste and sexiness through the roof.

Want to get in with your other half? Here's you in-road this weekend!

Ingredients:

1 x mashed banana;
2 x whole eggs;
1 x cup of almond meal;
1 x teaspoon of baking soda;
Maple syrup;
Strawberries.

"HOW TO":

Make sure your banana is completely mashed and with no lumps.
In a mixing bowl, combine the banana with eggs, almond meal and baking soda. Again, you want to beat with a fork until smooth. The mixture should be thick but pourable.
Spray your skillet lightly and over medium heat, cook your pancakes for 2-3 minutes each side.
Serve layered on a plate - decorate with berries and drizzle lightly with maple syrup and serve.

And then just watch your partner ooze love for you the rest of the day!
