Recipe Notes
Alternative
- Add mashed banana for an alternative flavour (you can omit the maple syrup)
- Eggs can be replaced with bananas, chia seeds, linseeds or apple sauce if you are egg intolerant
Serving Suggestions:
- Replace chocolate spread with a nut butter or sugar free peanut butter. Not only is it equally delicious but it is more nutritious and naturally sweet instead of being laden down with sugar.
- Put a large dollop of yogurt on your pancake and top with raspberries, blueberries or strawberries
- Try some sliced mango
- Something simple… A little drizzle of lemon juice
