A Healthy Pancake?!?!

you know how pancake day only comes around once a year?
not in the strawberry sister household!
we like to keep this delish treat close to our kitchens and stomachs at all times of the year.
now anyone can make a normal pancake 
but it takes a special strawb to make one that's both
gluten free AND vegan
yeah that's right - we haven't forgotten about you guys
we've trialled out the perf recipe just for you 
or if y'all just fancy a slightly healthier alternative

your four core ingredients are:
2 supery-doopery ripe bananas
1 cup almond milk
1 cup buckwheat flour (or any flour you particularly desire)
3 chia eggs -
but don't worry we'll explain all about this in a mo
just make sure you have some chia seeds handy

1

ok so one chia egg is basically one tablespoon of chia seeds 
plus two tablespoons of water

2

so for this recipe you'll need
three tablespoons of chia seeds and six of water

3

stir it aaaaaallllll up

4

and it should go super combined and goopy 

5

JUST LIKE A NORMAL EGG
clever eh?

6

you'll need to plop your chia eggs into a mixing bowl
along with your two bananas

7

then measure out a cup of the flour

8

and add that into the bowl as well

9

another cheeky cup - this time of almond milk

10

and guess what you do with that?

11

yep you guessed it
into the mixing bowl it goes

12

give everything a good whisk/mash/stir
until it's super thick and creamy

13

you can totally keep it plain and go straight onto cooking

14

but today we decided to go for a half chocolate, half vanilla stack
you know gots to be keeping it classic 

15

so we split the batter in half 
and folded in 3 tablespoons of cacao powder and a few cacao nibs to one

16

and some vanilla and cinnamon to the other

17

no one wants a sticky pancake
so grease that pan reaalll good

18

cook them exactly as you would any other pancake
p.s. we stuck ours on a medium heat 

19

okay okay
so they may not have all ended up totally the exact same size/shape/colour

21

but that's what makes them so loveable

23

they're just so unique yo

24

you just can't not dribble them with maple syrup

26

and cos we're just so arty farty 

27

we had to also plop on some cacao nibs (duh)
and some strawbs (double duh)

28

check out that chocolate and vanilla layer action going on there

it's always recommended to take a cheeky selfie in between bites

29

the perfect breakfast-y dish
for when your boring old cereal/toast/oatmeal/whatever-you-eat-in-the-mornings
just isn't good enough
p.s. we encourage eating while still in your pjs x
