Spelt Pancakes

Spelt (even though it's an ancient grain and a species of wheat) it on the ok to eat list. So, craving something different for breaky, I decided to search the good old interwebs to find a spelt pancake recipe. I had a good one in some magazine but I was too hungry to look for it (yeah, I'm pretty useless when hungry). I adapted the recipe so that it's got more sustenance to it... and fruit!

Banana Pecan Spelt Pancakes

1 cup plus approximately 2-3 Tbsp spelt flour
1 Tbsp honey
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 beaten egg
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp cooking oil
1 tsp vanilla

1 banana mushed

1 handful of pecans finely chopped

1. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon & pecans. Make a well in center of flour mixture; set aside. Combine the egg, milk, honey, mushed bananas and oil (honey won't completely dissolve but it's ok). Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Add additional milk to thin batter if necessary.

2. For standard-size pancakes, pour or spread batter into a 3-inch circle on a hot, lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes on each side or until pancakes are golden brown, turning to second sides when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry. Serve warm.
