COMPETITION WINNER: Emma Gill's 5 Ingredient Pancake Stack

Wednesday, 14th February 2018

We teamed up with Macacha in a quest to find the best pancake recipe in the land and we finally have our winner! @fruitsandroutes wowed us with her 5 ingredient Macacha protein pancakes which are vegan, gluten free, and contain no refined sugar, to boot! You have to try these, pancake day or no pancake day!

Ingredients:

40g buckwheat flour (can use brown rice/wholemeal/spelt flour instead depending on what you have but this may change the taste & texture so let me know how it goes if you give it a try)
10g oats
200ml almond milk (unsweetened)
1/2 small banana (the riper the better)
5g ground flax seed (this binds it together so don’t omit!)
Optional but recommended: 1 tbsp macacha vanilla, maca & yerba mate blend
Pinch sea salt
Topping ideas: stewed berries, coconut yoghurt, cacao nibs, granola...

Method:

Place all your ingredients (minus toppings) in a blender and blend on medium/high speed until fully combined. You want the oats to have disintegrated in the mix so that you have a thick, smooth consistency.
Melt a tsp of coconut oil in a large non-stick pan over a medium/ high heat, and once the surface is hot pour half your mixture onto the pan in 4 separate areas so they don’t touch, forming your first 4 pancakes.
Leave to cook for 3 or so minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface before flipping them and cooking for a further 2 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Repeat with the rest of your mixture, then plate up and top to suit your wildest dreams!
