Gluten free? Just make sure you use gluten free baking powder.

Preparation

  1. In a bowl mix the buckwheat flour, salt, and baking powder. In another bowl, mash the banana and mix with the Alpro Plain with Coconut alternative to yoghurt and the Alpro Coconut No Sugars Drink.
  2. Combine the wet and dry mixtures and blend until you have a nice, smooth batter. If it’s too thick, just splash in a little more Alpro Coconut No Sugars Drink.
  3. Next, heat up some vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Ladle in 1 heaped tablespoon batter into the heated pan and repeat according to how many you can fit in your pan. The batter will begin to bubble after about 1-2 minutes. Next, carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1- 2 minutes until browned on the underside. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm until serving. Carry on until you’ve used all your batter.
  4. Serve each stack topped with the Alpro Plain with Coconut and pomegranate seeds. Breakfast, dessert, snack – make these any time you feel like a yummy plateful of plant-based goodness!

Total time: 45 minutes 

Ingredients: 
For the pancakes
200g plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
Pinch salt
180ml Alpro Oat Unsweetened drink
2 medium free-range eggs, beaten
Vegetable oil, for frying
Alpro Plain No Sugars Big Pot to serve

For the salsa
2 ripe avocado, 1cm dice
100g cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 x 300g tin sweetcorn, drained
30g bunch coriander, roughly chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 limes, juiced, plus extra wedges to serve
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
Salt & pepper

Tip:
Flours vary, so you may need to add a little more Alpro Oat Unsweetened drink to reach a pourable pancake consistency. It needs to still hold its shape in the pan to form the American style pancakes, so try before adding more drink. 

Method:
1.	To make American-style pancakes put the flour and baking powder in a large bowl with a pinch of salt. In a jug, whisk the Alpro Oat Unsweetened drink with eggs.
2.	Mix all the salsa ingredients together and set aside.
3.	Use a balloon whisk to gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry to make a pancake batter. Brush a non-stick frying pan with more vegetable oil then pour in batter to make small 10cm pancakes, about 2-3 tbsp of batter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface then flip and cook until other side is golden. This will be about 2-3 minutes on each side. 
4.	 Serve 2-3 pancakes a person with a spoonful of Alpro Plain No Sugars Big Pot and the salsa and extra lime wedges.
