This is a great way of using up ripe bananas - and we even have them as dessert sometimes 

Ingredients

• 1 large ripe banana (around 150g)

• 2 tbsp caster sugar

• ¼ tsp fine salt

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra for cooking

• 120g self-raising flour

• ½ tsp baking powder

• 150ml oat,  or any vegan milk 

• Sweet freedom Chocolate syrup, sliced banana and berries, to serve (optional)

Method

• STEP 1
  Mash the banana in a mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar, salt and oil. Add the flour and baking powder and mix thoroughly. Make a well in the centre and gradually whisk in the milk. The batter should have a thick, droppable consistency.

• STEP 2
  Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add 2 tbsp of the batter to make American-style pancakes. You will be able to make about 4-5 at a time. Fry on each side for 2-3 mins until golden. Serve with syrup, sliced banana, and berries, if you like.
