These pancakes are moist, dense and chewy due to the absence of baking powder/whipped egg whites, hence they are not your usual light, fluffy pancakes.
No artificial food coloring was used too! Instead, dragonfruit puree (just a tiny bit makes a world of difference!) and acai powder were added for colour. In this case, bananas were used as a combining agent & sweetener :) Do note that these pancakes are not very sweet so feel free to add more maple syrup/honey/dates etc if you have a sweeter tooth!
5-Ingredient Acai Dragonfruit Pancakes
(sugar-, oil- & gluten-free)
Ingredients:
1.5 cup rolled oats or instant oats
1 cup sugar-free soy milk (or any milk you prefer)
1 large bananas or 1/2 cup frozen bananas
3 tsp Dragonfruit puree
3 tsp Acai Powder (dissolved in hot water to form a thick paste)
*Optional: if you prefer a sweeter pancake, :)
Method:
1. Place oats into a high speed blender/food processor and pulse until fine.
2. Add in soy milk and bananas until a sticky batter is formed.
3. Divide the batter into 3 bowls.
4. Add dragonfruit puree to 1 bowl, and acai paste into another. (Feel free to adjust the amount added to your desired colour!)
5. Heat a non-stick pan on medium-low. Drop batter from a height into the pan to achieve round pancakes, about 1/4 cup each time.
6. Allow to cook until bubbles appear around the edges before flipping.
I topped mine with cottage cheese and berries ;)

Dragonfruit is expensive in Australia. Is there anything I can replace it with?
ReplyDeleteHow about beetroot powder or puree? :)
