Healthy Little Pikelets

Ingredients:

2 bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup oats
1 Tbsp psyllium
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
squeeze lemon or ACV
pinch salt

Method:

Put all ingredients in a blender
*squeeze the lemon or ACV directly onto baking powder, it will fizz- this makes the pikelets light and fluffy.
Heat a skillet on medium heat & fry pikelets in a little butter or coconut oil until golden on each side.

Enjoy! x
