Gluten free fluffy apple & banana pancakes



I don't know about your family, but mine love pancakes! They are incredibly easy to knock up but feel like a bit of a treat in the morning. Beats cereal from a box hands down!

Having discovered this fantastic gluten free flour from Doves Farm (it's a mix of rice, potato, tapioca, maize, buckwheat), I use it in place of regular wheat flour, but both work equally well here.

I often up the protein quotient by adding a tablespoonful of Great Lakes Gelatin (Collagen Hydrolysate). I use this every single day in coffee, porridge, smoothies or whatever as it's very good for you and is undetectable to taste). Or you could just as easily add some Lucuma powder for a wonderful butterscotch flavour.  It's packed with iron and minerals and no empty calories like sugar. You could add any other 'superfood' like Maca or Boabab for that matter.

Moelleux au Chocolat

These little beauties were something I used to whip up at the drop of a hat, but I realised the other day that I haven't made them in absolutely ages.  They are ridiculously easy to make.  My starting point for this recipe was Nigella's molten chocolate babycakes from How to Be a Domestic Goddess.  My copy was given to me by my sister, Alison, when it was first published and she dutifully stood in line in December 2000 and had it signed for my birthday present.  Seeing as my birthday is 6 days before Christmas, I got a Happy Christmas dedication instead of Happy Birthday but, being well used to the birthday/Christmas pressie combo, I was happy as a pig in clover! I love a cook book and have amassed quite a collection but, for years, I'd always go back to this one for inspiration.
