Servings: 18 pikelets
Calories: 47kcal
Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder, (gluten free if required)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
Wet ingredients:
- 1 very ripe banana, (mashed)
- 1 cup almond milk, (or milk of your choice)
- 3 tablespoon aquafaba, (liquid from a can of chickpeas)
- 1 tablespoon brown rice syrup
To cook:
- Coconut oil, for the pan
Blueberry chia jam:
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon brown rice syrup
To serve:
- Nut butter, (optional)
Instructions
- To make the blueberry chia jam, heat the blueberries (I used frozen), water and brown rice syrup together in a small saucepan. Simmer for five minutes to encourage the blueberries to release their juices and become soft and syrupy. Remove from the heat, allow to cool a little, then stir through the chia seeds. Leave to thicken for about 15 minutes.
- To make the pikelets, mix dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whisk wet ingredients together in another mixing bowl, add to the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined and a smooth batter is formed.
- Heat a large frypan (skillet) over medium heat and add some coconut oil. Drop in ⅛ cup (2 tbsp) quantities to form pikelets. When the surface has bubbles showing through and the bottom has browned, flip and cook the other side for a few minutes. Remove from the pan and repeat until the batter has all been used.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 18 pikelets if they are made using ⅛ cup quantities of batter per pikelet. You could also make 36 smaller mini pikelets by using 1 tablespoon quantities of batter per pikelet.
