What’s good about it?

- Simply place all the ingredients in a nutri bullet or blender and process to form a smooth batter. Alternatively mash up the banana and beat in the remaining ingredients including the olive oil to create a thick batter.

Heat a frying pan over a medium heat with a little coconut oil or olive oil. Pour spoonfuls of the batter into the frying pan. Wait for the top to bubble slightly, before flipping over and browning on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
