Breakfast should be simple, nourishing, and feel like an absolute treat. These Banana Flapjacks are the ultimate answer to slow weekend mornings or quick weekday fuel. Naturally sweetened with a ripe, mashed banana and powered by our Protein Flour, they bake up incredibly thick, fluffy, and gold.
Because we lead with quinoa and chia seeds, these flapjacks are high in plant protein and fibre—keeping you and your little ones fuller for longer and preventing the typical mid-morning blood sugar crash. We’ve topped them with a warm, 3-ingredient, dairy-free chocolate sauce made from coconut yogurt, raw cacao, and coconut sugar.
Quick Info:
- Makes: Approximately 8–10 flapjacks
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes (plus 10–15 mins batter rest)
- Dietary: Gluten-Free, Plant-Based, Dairy-Free, Toddler-Approved
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Verdant Life Protein Flour
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 large ripe banana (mashed)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- Pinch of salt
Homemade Chocolate Sauce:
- 125ml coconut yogurt
- 15ml raw cacao
- 10ml coconut sugar
Method:
- Mix the batter: In a medium bowl, combine the Protein Flour, milk of choice, mashed banana, baking powder, vanilla essence, and salt. Whisk gently until fully combined.
- The Golden Rule (rest): Let the batter stand for 10–15 minutes to thicken. Do not skip this step! Resting allows the whole-food binders in our flour to hydrate, giving you that perfect, fluffy flapjack rise.
- Cook: Heat a lightly greased pan over medium heat. Pour spoonfuls of the thickened batter into the pan.
- Flip: Wait until bubbles begin to appear on the surface of the flapjacks, then gently flip and cook the other side until beautifully golden.
- Make the Chocolate Sauce: In a small, microwave-safe bowl, mix the coconut yogurt, raw cacao, and coconut sugar together. Warm briefly in the microwave for about 1 minute just before serving. (Feel free to add more raw cacao for a deeper chocolate flavour, or more coconut sugar if you prefer a sweeter finish!)
- Serve: Stack the warm flapjacks high, top with fresh sliced strawberries and blueberries, and drizzle the warm, glossy chocolate sauce generously over the top.
