Green banana pancakes
Makes: 12
Ingredients:
1 greenish banana
2 eggs
1 tbsp collagen peptides (optional)
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Coconut oil or ghee, for frying

Method:
1. Add the banana to a blender with the eggs, collagen (if using) and cinnamon, then combine to create a smooth batter.
2. Heat a small amount of coconut oil or ghee in a frying pan, and when the pan is hot, add 3-4 spoons of batter to create 3-4 mini pancakes. Cook for 2-4 minutes until golden in colour before flipping over to cook on the other side.
3. Serve with natural yoghurt, fresh berries, chopped nuts and seeds for extra goodness.
