Method

To make the pancakes blend the flours, poppy seeds, soya milk and salt in a blender or food processor.
Leave to stand for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the filling by mixing the bananas, lemon juice, apricots and almonds together.
Heat a little oil in a non–stick pancake pan.
Use a 50ml/2oz ladle to measure the batter for each pancake.
Pour the batter for one pancake into the pan, swirling it around to cover the base evenly.
Cook until set and golden brown underneath, then flip the pancake over and cook the other side.
Make 8 pancakes and layer to keep warm.

Fill each pancake with a couple of spoonfuls of the filling and fold into quarters.
Arrange 2 on each serving plate with a spoonful of soya yoghurt.
Sprinkle poppy seeds (if using) and lemon zest on the yoghurt to decorate and serve.
