Ingredients

  

• 60 g ½ cup banana peel flour
• 50 g almond flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon optional
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 egg
• 180 ml plant-based milk unsweetened almond milk is nice
• 15 g maple syrup or honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

🍴Tip: If the batter feels too thick, add a splash more milk. If too thin, add a bit more almond flour.
