How to make Gluten-free blueberry pancakes with caramelised bananas

1. Put the chia seeds into a mug with 180 ml of water. Let this sit for 20 minutes until the seeds expand to form a gel.

2. Place all the other ingredients, except the blueberries and the chia mixture, into a food processor with 120 ml of water. Blend until you have a smooth batter.

3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and gently stir in the blueberries, followed by the chia gel.

4. Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat with the coconut oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon until bubbling.

5. Add the banana slices to the pan; they should sizzle upon contact.

6. Reduce the heat and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the slices are fully coated and cooking evenly. When done, the bananas should be soft and coated in a caramelised glaze. Transfer them to a bowl and keep warm.

7. Wipe out the frying pan and lightly oil it with a little coconut oil. Heat over high until very hot.

8. Add 2 heaping tablespoons of batter to the pan for each pancake, using a spoon to shape them into even rounds. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, flipping once.

9. Repeat for each pancake until all the batter has been used, keeping the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven until ready to serve.

10. Serve the pancakes with maple syrup and the caramelised bananas.
