Method

Stir the maple syrup into the cashew cream and chill until ready to serve.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a jug, mix together the milk, vanilla, the vegetable oil and the mashed banana. Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry to form a smooth batter. Fold in the blueberries.
