Caramelized Banana and Hazelnut Pancakes
[Vegan]

To Make Pancakes:

1. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Make a well in the middle and add mashed banana, almond milk, and maple syrup and combine all the ingredients together until you have a smooth batter. If the batter feels too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk.
3. Fold the hazelnuts and cacao nibs into the batter.
4. Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan, then pour about 2 tablespoons of pancake batter and fry for about a minute on each side, until golden brown.

To Make Caramelized Bananas:

1. To caramelize the bananas, wipe the frying pan (after your pancakes) with clean kitchen paper and add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Heat the sugar until it melts and starts to bubble, add maple syrup, then add bananas and coat them in the caramel for about 30 seconds.
2. To serve, stack the pancakes with caramelized banana slices between the layers, and pile some more on the top. Drizzle with some maple syrup and sprinkle with some more chopped hazelnuts. Enjoy!
