BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES WITH EXPRESS CHOCOLATE SAUCE (by Alice Pages) // vegan + grain-free
Peel and mash the banana using a fork until puréed. Add the Purely Elizabeth Pancake Mix to a large mixing bowl. Then add the mashed banana, almond milk, yogurt and vanilla and stir until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is not perfectly smooth. It’s better not to over-mix for light and fluffy pancakes! Fold-in the dark chocolate chips and let the batter sit for 5 minutes. Grease a non stick pan with vegetable oil and put over medium heat. Pour a big spoon of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of a ladle. When bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another minute on the other side. Repeat the previous steps until all the batter is used. Prepare the chocolate sauce. Mix by hand all the ingredients until you get a smooth and silky consistency. Serve the pancakes with fresh fruits, maple syrup and a drizzle of chocolate.
Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes // grain-free

Prepare pancake mix according to instructions on the package. Add poppy seeds, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix until just combined. Cook pancakes per instructions on package. To prepare the raspberry shrub, place all ingredients into a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook down until raspberries break down and the sauce begins to thicken. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and cool. Drizzle on pancakes.
