"These can be made with any combination of fruits and nuts that you like. They are lightly sweet - which is good enough for me - but my kids usually pour on some maple syrup, or spread on some Nutella."

ingredients

2 bananas, the riper the better, darn-near-rotten is best
1 apple, peeled
1 cup chickpea flour
¹⁄₃ cup rice flour
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ cup pecans, finely chopped
¹⁄₂ cup water
oil (for frying)

directions

I use an immersion blender to blend the banana and apple together. However you choose to do it, the mixture should be completely liquified. Set aside.
Whisk together the flours and salt. Add the chopped nuts and stir to combine.
Pour the liquified fruit into the flour mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined. Add enough water to the mixture to make a pourable batter - I usually use about 1/2 cup. You may need more or less depending upon the size and ripeness of your fruits.
Make the pancakes one at a time by spreading 1/2 cup of batter in a large fry pan on medium high heat. Spread the batter out into a thin wide circle using the back of a metal spoon. My pancakes are usually 8-10 inches across. If the mixture doesn't spread easily, add more water.
Cook without turning until the entire pancake looks dry - little air bubbles will pop all across the surface. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of oil on the top and then flip the cake. Cook on this side for three minutes or so, until cooked through.
Serve immediately.

Although I am a US citizen, I have spent most of my adult life living outside of the States. I've raised my family all over the world - and I have to say that my four kids are pretty terrific! I am always looking for recipes that only call for basic ingredients. Because I don't live in the US, I often can't find packages or this, or jars and cans of that, even certain spices can be tricky. My favorite cookbooks are the New Joy of Cooking, and anything by Nigela Lawson. My passions are cooking and eating - big surprise there. I have no pet peeves, I don't keep any peeves around long enough to make them into pets. I especially love baking, but I'm trying to get away from that - the carbs are starting to stick to my hips a little too easily. I took a Sushi making course recently. It was a lot of fun; I now know that I need to GO OUT for Sushi, not make it myself.
