Gluten Free Plantain Pancakes With Sausage Scrambled Eggs

I absolutely love connecting with food bloggers and even just people on my Instagram that throw down. Once you cook and add twists to your meals, I promise i’d be lurking. One of the accounts I lurked was Kezia Eniang’s account. I reached out to her and she was kind enough to share one of her favourite breakfast meals which she added a twist to. Winning!! Do check it out and show her some love by following her accounts.

One of my favourite meals as a kid was plantain and omelette, especially for breakfast! It was so simple yet delicious so I decided to try recreate it with a little twist by making the plantain into pancakes! Yes Plantain Pancakes. As a self proclaimed Pancake lover I thought it’ll only be right to try and combine the two and serve it with sausage scrambled eggs. I think It’s a great recipe for breakfast and Brunch so let’s go ahead and get started!

What you’ll need:

A Whisk, Mixing Bowl/s, Food Processor, Non Stick Frying Pan.

Ingredients: Pancakes: 6 Serving: 3

– Ripe Plantain (or Overly ripe)

– 1/2 a Cup of Gluten Free Flour (Or Flour of Your Choice)

– 1/4 Teaspoon Baking powder (optional)

– 1 Large Egg

– 1 Tablespoon of Honey

– 100 ml of Milk (alternatively olive oil as listed below)

– 4 tablespoons Olive Oil

– Pinch Of Salt

– 1 Large Tablespoon of Melted Butter/Margarine

Method: Pancakes

1. Slice your plantain into pieces, Season with a pinch of salt, a table spoon of honey then mix well combining all the seasoning.

2. In a food processor add the plantain, drizzle some olive oil as this will help with the consistency and allow the plantain to be smooth, it’s essential if your plantain is not overly ripe alternatively you can use water. Blend for a minute then add in your egg, milk then melted butter and blend till mixture is completely smooth.

Alternatively you can just mash the plantains with a fork till the it’s nice and mushy.

3. Grab a separate bowl and add 1/2 a cup of sieved flour, I used gluten free flour but of course you can use any of your choice and some baking powder (this is optional) mix with your whisk and then combine with plantain mixture.

*If you find your plantain mixture a little to thick you can add a little bit of milk or water to help with the consistency.

4. In a frying pan (or pan of choice) add tablespoon of butter or Oil using a ladle, scoop the mixture and pour it into the pan.

5. cook on medium to low heat on each side for 2 minutes. Once all the batches have been done we’ll leave it to cool and move over to our scrambled eggs.

Scrambled Eggs:

3 Large Eggs (or 4 if small)

2 Frankfurters Sausages (Chopped)

Half an Onion, Chopped

5 Cherry Tomatoes, Halved/Quartered

Pinch of Salt (or All purpose seasoning/Maggi)

1/4 teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper.

100ml of milk. I Used LactoFree milk so this is great for lactose intolerant foodies like me 🙂

Method Scrambled Eggs:

In a bowl combine 3 eggs with milk, a pinch of salt and whisk.

1. In a frying pan add a tablespoon of butter/margerine followed by your onions, sausage and tomatoes a sauté for a minute or 2.

I like the smokey flavour the frankfurters gives!
