In this Zero Waste video I’m showing you what to do with old bananas that are going black. Simply mash them and make some pancakes with them! These flourless pancakes combine mashed banana with oats and peanut butter for a healthy start to the day.
This Zero Waste recipe was created together with Auchan, in order to inspire people to cook less wastefully.
2 ripe bananas
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 eggs
40g fine oats
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp chia seeds (optional)
30g butter
2 handful blueberries
yoghurt, to serve
maple syrup, to serve
Makes 5 pancakes – Hands-on: 15min
Peel the bananas, cut into slices, put in a bowl and mash with a fork until you get a purée.
Add the peanut butter, eggs, oats, vanilla extract and chia seeds, if using, and stir to get a batter.
Melt the butter in a frying pan and put the pancake batter into the hot butter to form 5 pancakes. Sprinkle a few blueberries over each pancake and fry over a low heat for 2 ½ minutes. Turn the pancakes over and cook for another 30 seconds on the blueberry side. Transfer onto a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve each portion of pancakes with a dollop of yoghurt and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
