Ingredients

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Mixing the pancake batter

Mix: Firstly, mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
190 g Self-raising flour, 2 tablespoon Ground flaxseed, 1 teaspoon Baking soda
Mash: In a separate bowl, mash the banana well, and add in the rest of the wet ingredients.
1 ½ Large ripe bananas, 300 ml Plant milk of choice
Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl of dry ingredients, and mix until you have a semi-thick batter.

Cooking the pancakes

Heat the pan: Put your skillet over a medium heat for a few minutes to allow the it to heat up.
Pour the batter: Then take a cookie scoop of pancake batter, and pour it into the center of the pan. We don't use any extra fat when frying these pancakes, a non-stick pan is sufficient. However, you can add a little bit of nonstick cooking spray, or melted butter, if you like.
Cook the pancakes: Turn your heat down to a low heat, and cook for 2-3 minutes. The pancake is ready to flip once the edges begin to firm, and bubbles have formed all over.
Flip: Flip and cook for another minute. The top of the pancake should be golden brown.

For the cashew cream

Blend: Put the cashew cream ingredients in the blender and blend on high speed for 1 minute. When finished, the cream should have a smooth, fairly thick, but pourable consistency, similar to heavy cream.
100 g Raw cashews, 200 ml Water, 2 Medjool dates

Notes

If your cream is too thick; start with adding 2 tablespoons of water to the blender to thin it out a little, until you reach your desired consistency. If your cream is too thin then Add 5-10 more raw cashews to the mixture and blend for another 30 seconds. You can cook up to 3 pancakes in a large frying pan, at the same time. We wouldn't recommend trying any more than this though.
