Recipe: Banana Oat Pancakes

No matter what I do, I still have bananas at the end of the week black! This recipe not only takes advantage of the black bananas, but also a healthy way to start the day with oats!

The oats here, are used as the main flour by blending it down to a fine pulp, with a combination of some self raising flour.

Makes:

• 6 pancakes

Ingredients:

• 40 grams wholegrain oats
• 20 grams self raising flour
• pinch salt
• 1/2 cup milk (I used light)
• 1 banana
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
• drizzle olive oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Blend the oats in a vitamiser.
2. Mix in the self-raising flour and blend.
3. Add the banana, vanilla, salt and cinnamon blending again.
4. Pour the mixture into a jug and mix through the milk.
5. Heat a flat pan up and drizzle a little olive oil onto it.
6. Pour the mixture on the pan and once golden brown, flip it over cooking the other side.
7. Serve with a little butter and maple syrup!
