Happy pancake day, everyone! I've created a recipe that'll not only taste totally delicious, but only takes 3 ingredients to make (and you've probably already got them in your cupboard) and less than 5 minutes to whip up.

These pancakes are a go-to for me for any pancake day, birthday breakfast or indulgent Sunday morning and always turn out fluffy and so very tasty. They're also low fat, gluten-free and can be made in under 5 minutes!  I'm so excited to share this recipe with you all and am looking forward to seeing your pictures online (tag me on Instagram or send me snaps on Twitter) so I can see how yours turned out, too!
