Equipment
- Oven
- Baking sheet
- Knife
- Large bowl
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana (about 1/4 cup mashed)
- 1/2 cup cooked and cooled butternut pumpkin (about 1/4 cup mashed) see notes
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp GF baking powder
- 1 heaped tbsp cassava flour (see notes)
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ghee/butter or coconut oil to fry
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and just combined
- Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and add cooking oil of choice. Pour the batter onto the frying pan, using approximately 2-3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake.
- Cook until the surface of the pancakes have some bubbles, approximately 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the underside, approximately 1-2 minutes more.
Notes
Notes:
These pancakes will last in the fridge for up to 3 days, or are freezer friendly for up to 3 months.
You can also pre-make the batter, which will last in the fridge for up to 3 days, and cook fresh in the morning.
If you don't have cassava flour, other flours will work such as buckwheat, spelt or plain flour.
These pancakes also cook really well in a sandwich press! To do so, just place 2-3 TBSP of batter on the hot sandwich press with the lid open, and after 30 seconds, close the lid. They should be cooked in 1-2 minutes.
This recipe is designed to use leftover butternut pumpkin, but also will work with sweet potato (or any vegetable but it will give it a more savoury taste).
If you don't have any leftover pumpkin, you can bake some in the oven topped with coconut oil or ghee and a sprinkling of cinnamon.
You can also omit the banana and just use pumpkin for a savoury option
