Healthy Banana Flapjacks

These healthy flapjacks are perfect for when you feel like treating yourself, but without the guilt! I have been obsessed with these as a nice wholesome breakfast. I have never been one for banana flavoured things, but my oh my, these are delicious. What is great is that the banana flavour is not too overpowering, there is a nice mild taste of banana but all the flavours blend together in harmony. These are super easy with only 3 core ingredients and pretty much no effort in making it, sounds to me like a perfect breakfast. For those of you who have partners who can't cook, I think this recipe will be simple enough for them to make, and they are guaranteed to taste YUM! ;) 

You know these are good when you offer to make them for your boyfriend, and he says he's not hungry. So you carry on making some for yourself and while you're eating, half of yours go to a certain someone... It always ends up that way, at least I know he likes them.

One batch makes between 9-12 flapjacks, depending on the amount used for one flapjack. This recipe will be enough if you are super hungry! If you want a gluten-free option, just swap out regular oats, that can contain gluten, with gluten-free oats. To add some more protein into this meal, try adding a tablespoon of chia seeds into the batter before cooking. Chia seeds are a great source of fibre, omega-3 fats, protein, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup Oats 

- 1 Banana 

- 1 cup plant milk

- Cinnamon (optional, and to taste)

Toppings:
- Sliced banana
- Cinnamon
- Maple syrup, agave syrup, or any liquid sweetener
- Nuts

Method:
1. Throw everything into a blender and blend for a few minutes, until smooth.
2. Heat a non-stick pan, if you don't have a non-stick pan use some coconut oil to grease it. Once heated, place about 1/3 - 1/2 cup of batter into the pan. Flip them when you start to see bubbles forming, then cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
3. Serve on its own or with toppings, and enjoy!
