    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Sieve flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Mix and set aside.

    2 In a medium-sized bowl, mash banana until smooth. Add egg and milk and mix.

    3 Add wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Use a whisk if lumpy.

    4 Heat a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Spray with oil or use a small amount of spread. When hot, dollop tablespoons of pikelet mixture into pan and top with 4-5 blueberries. Cook pikelets until bubbles start to appear on the surface, turn over and cook until golden, usually 1-2 minutes per side.

    5 Serve immediately or cool and pack into lunchboxes. These keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.

    Variations

    • Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free flour and baking powder.
    • Add 2 teaspoons chia seeds to 1/4 cup water. Leave for 10 minutes, then add to pikelet mixture.
    • Top with sliced banana.

    HFG tip

    • Layer on non-stick baking paper in lunch boxes to stop them sticking together.
    • To freeze, layer as above and freeze in sandwich bags for up to 2 months. Defrost overnight before packing in lunch boxes.
