Seriously good food!!

Banana and Chocolate-Chip Pancakes

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

2&1/2 cups of flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
pinch salt

Wet Ingredients:

2&1/4 cups water or rice milk (you can do half water, half soy milk)
1 whole banana
1/3 cup soft/silken tofu
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (the cruelty free shop do a great dairy-free chocolate chip!)

Method:

1. Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir with a wire whisk.

2. Combine the wet ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until combined (do not over mix)

3. Stir in chocolate chips

4. Mist a non-stick frypan with cooking oil spray and set over a medium-high heat. Drop the batter into the frypan until it is the desired size (I prefer smaller pancakes to larger ones). Cook both sides until golden brown. Cook until small bubbles appear on top, about 2 minutes. Continue until all batter is used up!

5. Serve immediately and drizzle with maple syrup, or take to work/school cold as a sweet treat during the day.
