Preparation

  1. In a bowl, mash the banana with a fork until it resembles a thick purée, then stir in the eggs, baking powder and vanilla.
  2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and brush with half the oil.
  3. Using half the batter, spoon two pancakes into the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes each side, then tip onto a plate.
  4. Repeat with the remaining oil and batter.
  5. Top the pancakes with the pecans and raspberries.

Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen

  • Mash the banana really well, almost to a purée, so the batter cooks evenly without lumps.
  • Keep the pancakes small; they're more delicate than flour-based ones and easier to flip when little.
  • Cook over medium, not high, heat so they set through without burning.
  • Let them firm up for a moment in the pan before flipping to stop them breaking.
