This recipe comes to my blog thanks to a friend of mine. She introduced me to this concoction when we were travelling through Kangaroo Island SA. I was especially excited by this dish as I saw another opportunity to use the precious by-product of my
almond milk.
What's in it?
- 3/4 cup of almond meal (or meal remaining from 3/4 almonds for milk)
- 1 tbsp psyllium husks
- 1 very ripe mashed up banana
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg
How it works
- Place all ingredients in a bowl
- Mix well ensuring you don't have a clump of psyllium husks
- Heat a frying pan with a little olive oil
- Spread mixture into the pan
- When base has browned, carefully turn over (hardest part of this recipe)
- Once other side is browned take out of pan
- Serve with berries
Result
Okay, so the mixture is a little difficult to flip in the pan (hence the reason I haven't go a photo of that). And as a result it isn't going to win any prizes for its looks ... but this dish is YUMMY! Since giving it a go after coming home from SA I have made this four times. I love that I have no added sweetener (the banana is enough) and I love that it's dairy free and has the added fibre of the psyllium husks.
Verdict
This is a definite winner. I have tried a few variations when I didn't have a full banana such as adding berries or grated carrot. These attempts definitely fell into the TBNP bracket - that's Tasty But Not Presentable. Latter uses of this recipe I have made four small patties rather than one large one. A little less messy when flipping.
