PCG Foods: Oven Pancake

No need to stand flipping pancakes for ages with this recipe! Just mix and bake for a quick and nourishing breakfast, snack or dessert for all the family.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 small overripe bananas, mashed (or 240 grams of apple puree)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour*
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil (or coconut oil)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (adjust to your desired sweetness)
  • ¼ cup water (mix with maple syrup. Should equal ½ cup total)
  • 1 cup blueberries (or your favorite fruit)
  • ½ cup dark chocolate, carob or cacao nibs (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F.
  • Grease an ovenproof dish.**
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk together the egg and banana.
  • Add the flour sifted with the baking powder, and stir until well combined.
  • Stir in the oil and maple syrup-water mixture. Then add in the fruit (and chocolate if desired). Mix until just combined.
  • Pour into greased dish and place in the preheated oven for half an hour or until golden and set.
  • Eat hot or store in the fridge for up to a week.

*Tapioca, brown rice, sorghum, maize, oat, chickpea and coconut flour all work equally well and in any blend, so you can make this recipe gluten free.

**Grease with olive oil, coconut oil or butter. Works best in shallow rectangle dish, 29 by 20.
