Banana Pancakes with Homemade Chocolate Sauce (Vegan + GF)

1. First make your flax mix. (This acts as a replacement for eggs, and helps to bind the ingredients together). Stir the ground flaxseed & water in a small bowl and leave to sit/thicken for around 5 minutes.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon and salt and put to one side whilst you make the wet mixture.

3. Mash the bananas and add the almond milk, vanilla extract & maple syrup. Using a hand mixer, whisk together until smooth. Add the flax mix.

4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk together until fully combined.

5. Heat a frying pan and grease with light olive oil. Carefully spoon your mixture onto the centre of the hot pan approximately 1/2cm thick. Once the pancake starts to cook, using a spatula flip the pancake and continue to cook. It takes around 2-4 minutes on each side before it's ready to serve.

6. Repeat until you have used up all the batter. Serve with either maple syrup, fruit or some delightful homemade chocolate sauce.
