What You Need:
1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
2 tbsp vegetable oil (like avocado oil)
1 XL egg or 1 x flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax seeds + 3 tbsp water)
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
1 tsp xanthum gum (if your flour does not include it)
1 tbsp baking powder
Pinch of salt (optional)
¾ – 1 cup oat milk
½ cup fruit of your choice (blueberries, chopped strawberries, banana)
Method:
1/ Whisk together the syrup, oil, egg and vanilla essence until well combined.
2/ Slowly add the dry ingredients and then add the milk until smooth. Stri in your fruit.
3/ Allow the mixture to stand for at least five minutes and then set your non-stick pan over a medium heat. (You shouldn’t need to add oil with your non-stick pan, but you could add a light coat of coconut baking spray).
4/ Spoon out rounds of batter and flip once bubbles appear and it’s browned on the underside.
5/ Serve with toppings of your choice, such as a berry compote, maple syrup, nut butter, more fresh fruit or even eat just as it is!
