Banana Pikelets
Pikelets are a staple for a growing kiwi kid's diet. This pikelet recipe has a bit of a twist adding in healthy as bananas. Sooo yummy and the kids can help too! A special Telethon Big Night In recipe.
Ingredients
- 1½ cup flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup coconut dessicated
- 1-2 ripe bananas mashed
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- ¾ cup milk you could also try substituting with rice milk for dairy free pikelets.
Instructions
- In a bowl or round jug; mash banana, add eggs and lightly beat.
- Add in this order: vanilla essence, sugar, coconut, flour and baking powder.
- Add milk in alternately to mix - little bit of milk, mix, etc, may need extra milk for right consistency (like a thick but runny sauce)
- Beat for a good minute or so, over beating doesn't seem to matter. Just make sure there are no flour lumps.
- In a cast iron or heavy bottom frying pan, lightly oil either with extra light olive oil or spray (as doesn't taint taste of pikelets, can add a wee bit of butter for taste but watch as this often goes black after a while). Pour and spread with the back of a spoon to get right shape and to spread evenly (will rise decently)When little air pockets burst on top, ready to flip.
- Serve with runny honey, Ceres nut butters, cream and jam, lemon and sugar or golden syrup. Mmmm.
