Apple Cinnamon Flapjacks with Caramelized Banana Topping

Ingredients
Flapjacks:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 3 tsps baking powder
- 1 lemon juice extracted
- 3 apples peeled and diced in cubes
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 cup Greek yogurt or preferred flavour
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 eggs
- 1-2 tbsps milk optional, for adjusting batter consistency
Topping:
- 3 bananas diced
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Place diced apples in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 4 minutes until softened.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and egg yolks until well combined.
- Gradually incorporate the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks, then gently fold them into the batter. The batter should be thick, which results in extra fluffy flapjacks.
- Heat a lightly greased pan over medium heat. Spoon in 2 tablespoons of batter for each flapjack. Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles start forming on the surface. Flip carefully, allowing them to puff up, then cook until golden brown. Adjust thickness by adding 1 tablespoon of milk at a time if needed.
- While cooking the flapjacks, heat a separate frying pan and melt the butter. Add the diced bananas and sauté until they caramelize. The natural sugars in the bananas will create a beautiful golden glaze.
- Serve the warm flapjacks topped with the caramelized bananas and enjoy!
