Banana Oat Pancakes

Ingredients

• 2 cups seasonal vegetables or fruit suited to the dish
• 1 cup whole grain, bean, tofu, egg, dairy or lean protein base
• 2 tablespoons herbs, seeds, nuts or unsaturated-fat dressing
• Lemon or lime, spices, pepper and a small pinch of salt to taste

Method

1. Wash hands and produce, then prepare all ingredients on clean equipment.
2. Cook the grain or protein base until safely done. Roast, sauté or combine the produce to retain texture and colour.
3. Fold the components together, add herbs and acid, then adjust seasoning gradually.
4. Divide into 2 portions. Serve immediately or cool promptly for storage.

Nutrition notes

Approximately 410 calories per serving. Actual values vary with brands, portions and substitutions. The combination is designed to provide fibre, protein and colourful produce; it is not a therapeutic meal plan.

Flexible swaps

Use a tolerated bean, tofu, egg, fish or poultry option for protein. Choose gluten-free grains if medically required. Reduce sodium by relying on citrus, herbs and spices.

Storage and food safety

Refrigerate leftovers in a shallow, covered container within two hours and use within 3–4 days. Reheat cooked dishes until steaming throughout. When in doubt, discard food with an unsafe storage history.
