40g buckwheat flour10g Pulsin Natural Chocolate Pea Protein
10g cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

method:
- Whisk together all of the batter ingredients. Start with 160ml of almond or cashew milk and add more to create a thick but pour-able batter.
- Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat and lightly grease with spray oil. Cook 60ml (¼ cup) of the batter to make 5-6 pancakes. Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes, flip and cook for 1 -2 minutes more.
- For the sauce, whisk together all of the ingredients in a small pot, bring to the boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add a little hot water if it gets too thick.
- Store leftovers of the sauce in the fridge for up to two days, reheating as needed in a pot or in short 20-seconds burst in the microwave.
