Breakfast for me is usually tea, one of my home-made breads topped with nut butter, honey and cinnamon or apple butter and, a piece of fruit. If I’m going to have a particularly active morning I’ll cook up some steel-cut oatmeal made with a date and chopped up apples, healthy but fast and simple. If we make breakfast say on a weekend it is usually man-friendly: eggs, potatoes and bacon/sausage but, my man is away this weekend, so, I decided I would make something out of two things I love and he hates: Bananas and Pancakes.
This is my perfected, healthy, gluten-free, banana pancake recipe. If you’re not into banana’s you can change-up for apple sauce or even pumpkin puree! Oat flour can be made simply by fine grinding rolled oats, same goes for almond flour.
