Method
In a medium bowl, mash the banana until there are no big lumps.
In a separate, small bowl, lightly whisk the egg. Add it to the banana and whisk well.
Next, add the flour and whisk until well-combined.

Transfer to a plate to serve. Top with yoghurt, berries and a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
FAQs
What is spelt flour?
Spelt is an ancient grain similar to wheat, however it has a lower gluten content. This recipe calls for wholemeal spelt flour, however for an even lighter pancake you can use white spelt flour. If you're not a spelt person (it's super yummy, give it a try!), normal plain white flour will do the trick.
