Preparation
Chop the banana for natural sweetness into pieces and use a fork to mash until smooth.
To add bulk to the pancaked, add the egg and keep beating with the fork - the banana mix should be smooth but not completely puréed, or the pancakes will be flat.
Stir through the cinnamon for warmth and baking powder until completely mixed in, then add a handful of the blueberries for fruitness.
Place a heavy bottomed pan over a medium heat and grease with cooking spray or a little butter.
Add a spoonful of pancake mixture to the pan, smoothing down with the back of the spoon to form a small circle. If you are using a large pan, try cooking more than one pancake at once.
Cook the pancakes over a medium heat for a couple of minutes until the tops begin to bubble. Use a spatula to flip the pancakes and cook for a further 1 minutes.
Once cooked, slide the pancake onto a plate and keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining mixture - aim for around 3 pancakes per person. Serve in stacks, scattering over any remaining blueberries.
