Banana Pancakes

These healthier pancakes are really quick and easy to make. They're high in protein and if you add pumpkin seeds you're get some zinc which is important for supporting the immune system & fertility.

They go really well with defrosted frozen berries or a drizzle of honey. Why not try these as an alternative to traditional pancakes and don't just save them for pancake day!
