METHOD.

1. Combine the chia egg, hemp seeds, 1 mashed banana, cinnamon, both flours, nut milk and baking power in a bowl.

4. Once cooked take out the pan and place on a large plate and keep warm in the oven on a low heat while you continue to use up the rest of the batter. Repeat step 3 until you have used all the mixture.

5. Stack the pancakes and drizzle maple syrup, hemp / flax seeds and the other banana sliced…. Plus any other of your favourite toppings! We added whipped coconut cream and blueberries for some extra vitamin C!
