Written by Megan Lee, Registered Dietician, March 2025

Serve these flapjacks with yogurt for probiotics, berries for

fibre and vitamins, and a drizzle of honey, nut butter or dollop of my Blueberry chia jam for extra flavour and richness.

Ingredients (Serves 1, makes 4-5 flapjacks)

• 1 very ripe banana, mashed

• 1 whole egg

• ¼ tsp vanilla essence

• Sprinkle of cinnamon

• Tiny pinch of salt

• 3 tbsp flour

• ⅓ tsp baking powder

  
  

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mash the banana until smooth.

2. Add the egg, vanilla essence, cinnamon, and salt. Mix gently.

3. Stir in the flour and baking powder, combining until just mixed. Do not over mix otherwise the flapjacks will not rise.

4. Heat a lightly oiled or buttered pan over medium heat.

5. Spoon small amounts of batter onto the pan and cook for about 1–2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

6. Serve warm with your choice of yogurt, berries, jam, nut butter or honey.

   
   

These flapjacks are quick to whip up and make a delicious, balanced meal or snack that feels indulgent while yet nourishing. Enjoy!
