Servings:2 people
Calories:548kcal
Ingredients
- 2 egg
- 3 tbsp water
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 medium banana
- â…” cup lentils, cooked
- â…” cup wholegrain flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup strawberries (sliced)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2/3 cup low fat Greek Yogurt
Instructions
- Blend the egg, water, vanilla extract, banana, lentils, whole grain flour, baking powder, sugar and salt until you have a thick homogeneous batter. Some lentil streaks will be visible, but don’t worry, they won’t be noticeable when the pancakes are cooked.2 egg, 3 tbsp water, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 2 medium banana, ⅔ cup lentils, cooked, ⅔ cup wholegrain flour, 3 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp salt

- Heat a non-stick pan and add about â…™ of the batter (the recipe makes 6 pancakes total). Turn the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook until the top of the pancake appears to be dry, then turn and cook until the bottom of the pancake has browned. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
- Serve lentil banana pancakes with strawberries, maple syrup and low fat greek yogurt as toppings.1 cup strawberries, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 2/3 cup low fat Greek Yogurt

NOTES
- Be careful of not over blending the batter, this will activate the gluten and the pancakes won’t be as fluffy and soft. To facilitate the process add the liquid ingredients first to the blender.Â
- These are great frozen and reheated in the oven. So for people who want a quick breakfast or snack you just have to make a few batches, freeze and reheat whenever you want.Â
- The pancakes are great on their own, so for people who want to cut more calories I recommend skipping the maple syrup. Do not skip the yogurt though, because it adds good protein.Â
- Using 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 oats instead of ½ cup flour is very good as well. Resulting in less calories but also slightly less protein.
