Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes

Who says Pancakes are not healthy? When it's about wholesome ingredients that are great to start the day, these Pancakes are packed with nutritious benefits and taste. 

The best part is how quick these are to whip up - from raw ingredients to the pan in minutes! Here it is, my version of WHOLEWHEAT BANANA PANCAKES:

Ingredients for 4 Pancakes: 1 ripe banana, 1 cup milk, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 tsp baking soda, honey or brown sugar to sweeten the mixture, 1tsp vanilla essence.

Make:

1. In a mixer, put in the banana broken into large pieces, milk, vanilla essence and blend smooth like a smoothie. Next add in the honey/brown sugar, wheat flour and baking soda and blend again until it is a smooth batter. Adjust batter by adding milk if needed. 

2. Heat a non stick pan and lightly grease. Pour on the batter in desired size and cook well on both sides until golden brown. 

Serve the healthy Pancakes stacked, topped with Maple Syrup, dusting sugar and fruits.

Veggie Puff/Pastie in Airfryer

The delicate flakes of golden brown puff pastry that crunch with each bite...who doesn't love a good Veggie Puff/Pastie! It's always fun making these but my Airfryer makes it even more a delight with its super fast capabilities.

Here it is, my Airfryer Veggie Puffs/Pastie: 

Ingredients for about 6: 

For the veggie filling - 1 cup diced carrot, 1 cup diced potato, 1 cup chopped cabbage, 1/2 corn kernels or peas, 1 chopped onion, 1 tbsp garlic, chilli as desired, 1 tbsp curry powder, salt. Cheese if desired.

For the covering - ready made Puff Pastry sheets or dough for making Pastry. Milk for brushing, sesame seeds.

Make: 

1. In a pan, heat a little oil and saute chilli, garlic and onion. Add all the veggies and mix.

2. Add salt and curry powder, cover and cook for about 8 minutes. Turn off and cool to room temperature. 

3. Cut Puff Pastry sheets into desired shape, fill with the veggies filling, top with cheese if using and cover. Seal tight using the edge of a fork. Brush the top with milk and sprinkle sesame seeds.

4. Place in Airfryer and airfry/bake as per settings. Usually should take no longer than 15 minutes on a 170deg setting. It is well cooked once golden brown.
