Hello my lovelies! :)
I'm perfectly aware that my "recipes" aren't super difficult and extraordinary (yet), they will come eventually but my main focus is quick 'n easy. My life is busy, just like everybody else's and we tend to use "quick 'n easy" as an excuse to go and grab the next burger or chips, order Pizza online or grab an unhealthy sandwich on the go.
Veganism is neither "difficult" nor "too much effort". Everything can be done quick 'n easy (grabbing fresh fruit on the go is one of them!)
Anyway, my rice flour pancakes where more a "I don't want to go shopping, what have I got left in my kitchen"- experience and, let me tell you, I prefer them to my usual pancakes! :)
What do we need? (1 serving about 4 pancakes) bear in mind, I'm mostly cooking for one single person which is me. haha.
- 1 large ripe banana
- 60 grams of rice flour
- half a teaspoon of baking powder
- water
- olive oil
Step 1: cut the banana in little pieces and mash them together in a bowl, so that you end up with banana purée.
Step 2: add the rice flour and baking powder to the bowl with your banana purée in it.
Step 3: add a little bit of water (only a tiny little bit!) and mix it together - you should end up with a really sticky floury mixture. Keep adding more small portions of water until you have a creamy consistency (this is basically about personal preferences. I like my pancakes firm, small and a little thicker which is why I don't usually add lots of water to them. If you prefer thinner ones, just add a little more but be careful that you don't end up with actual liquid or they will fall apart in the pan.)
Step 4: put oil in the pan (I still use olive oil spray and I added three sprays for every pancake) and wait until it's hot. Add a scoop of your pancake mixture into the pan, wait until you can lift the edges and flip it around. Wait for a few seconds and put it onto your plate.
Here you go, we're done! You can obviously add fruit to it or serve it with maple syrup but the ripe banana is actually sweet enough (for my taste), so I like them best just like this. :)
