Jen took these along to an afternoon play date and they were loved so much that we decided to squeeze them into the book even though we were about to hang up our aprons and go
to print.

 

They are a hard to resist little vegan treat with four main magical ingredients that keep everyone happy.

Turtle Pikelets

Ingredients
1 tbsp chia seeds

150 g (1 cup) self-raising flour

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp baking soda

½ tbsp maple syrup

185 ml (¾ cup) milk of choice

2 overripe bananas, mashed

coconut oil

 

 

Method

Put chia seeds and 3 tablespoons of cold water in a bowl and leave for 5 minutes or until seeds have absorbed water.

 

Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

Mix maple syrup with ½ tablespoon of boiling water, add milk, chia seeds and banana and stir. Combine with dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

 

Melt coconut oil in a frying pan. Pour four ¼ cup portions of the mixture into pan and fry until bubbles start to appear.

 

Flip and cook for the same time on the other side. Remove pikelets from the pan and keep warm and repeat with the remaining mixture.

 

Serve warm or cold with fresh fruit, yogurt, or jam.
