I have been asked by a friend to provide a bit of background on the Paleo (Paleolithic) diet, which I will do in a couple of days. In the meantime here is a Thermomix conversion of one of my favourite breakfasts, Banana Pancakes from the Against All Grain – which I am making as write this!
My kids love these too….I need to try and sneakily make them otherwise they are all gone before I realise it!
The non-Thermomix recipe can be found by clicking here.
Ingredients (makes 8-10 small pancakes)
- 3 medium eggs, at room temperature
- 50 grams non dairy milk (I used coconut milk but you could use almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 5 grams honey
- 10 grams of coconut flour ( I use either Bob’s Red Mill Organic Coconut Flour or Health Reflections Certified Organic Coconut Flour)
- 40 grams of almond flour (I milled my own almonds in the Thermomix)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 really ripe banana (brown spots are the best!)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (if you like)
- Butter or coconut oil for the pan
Method
- Place all the wet ingredients and the banana, broken into pieces, into the Thermomix bowl – mix on Speed 5 for 10 secs.
- Add the dry ingredients to to the bowl and mix for a further 10 secs on Speed 5.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so the flours can soak up the moisture from the wet ingredients.
Cook as per instructions below from Against All Grain
- Heat a cast iron (or non-stick) pan over medium-high heat. You can also use a griddle to make more pancakes at once. Mix the batter again, then begin making your pancakes.
- Oil the pan with coconut oil or butter, then pour about a 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. The pancakes are easier to flip if you keep them small, about 4 inches in diameter.
- Once the pancake begins to bubble, place a couple of slices of banana and a pinch of chocolate chips on top.
- Carefully flip the pancake over, and cook for another minute until the pancake has fluffed up an feels slightly firm.
- Keep hot in a warm oven until you are done making the remainder of the pancakes.
- These are best eaten immediately, but if you have leftovers you can warm them in a toaster the next day.
Enjoy,
Linda
