Avocado Cinnamon Pancakes

Pancakes with the healthy goodness of avocados and the warm fragrance of cinnamon - no added sugar. Must try for breakfast!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp butter

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  • Make a well in the dry ingredients.
  • Halve the avocado. Scoop out flesh and mash with a fork. Add this to the bowl along with olive oil, maple syrup and milk.
  • Mix in along with the dry ingredients until you get a pancake batter of thick pouring consistency.
  • Place a small piece of butter on a non stick tava / flat pan, and lightly grease the surface of the pan. Using a kitchen paper, rub it over the surface uniformly.
  • Pour 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Don’t spread it out. Allow it to settle into its own shape, nudging gently with the spatula if needed to get a more uniform round shape. You can make 3-4 pancakes simultaneously on a 10" tava.
  • Let this cook on medium flame for around 1-2 minutes or until you see bubbles around the circumference of the pancake. Flip over and cook for another 30-45 seconds. Both sides will be lightly golden brown and the pancake would have puffed to double the height.
  • Remove onto a platter. Use up the remaining batter similarly. Drizzle some more maple syrup over the top and serve warm.
