Courgette and Sweetcorn Pancake and Waffle Mix

I love pancakes and waffles but store-bought boxed mixes and restaurant versions aren't necessarily the most nutritious, often containing plain white flour, butter/oil/eggs etc. I decided to get a few servings of fruit and veg with this recipe below.

Courgette and Sweetcorn Pancake and Waffle Mix
Makes 4 pancakes OR 1-2 waffles

Ingredients:
- 225g / 8oz courgette
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 banana, mashed
- 90g flour (I use whole wheat)
- 1tsp baking powder
- 85g / 3oz sweetcorn, defrosted if frozen

Method:

• Grate the courgette and gently squeeze out any excess water.
• In a bowl stir together the banana and egg.
• Add the flour and the baking powder and mix altogether.
• Stir in the grated courgette and sweetcorn.
• Pour the batter into a frying pan to make 4 pancakes.
• Cook for 5 minutes and then flip the pancakes and cook the other side.
• If using a waffle iron, pour the batter into the iron and cook for up to 10 minutes.
• Depending on the size and heat settings of waffle irons, the cooking times and number of waffles will vary. ENJOY!
