Quick Banana Oatmeal Pancakes.

 

These quick, yummy pancakes are a great weekend breakfast treat. They are light, but also quite filling, so you won’t be reaching for snacks mid-morning!

Time:

Preparation: 5 minutes

Cook: 6 minutes per batch

Total= around 15 minutes

Serves: 1 (4 small/ 2 medium pancakes)

Ingredients:

1 x large banana

30 g x rolled oats

1 x medium egg

1 x teaspoon olive oil

1 tsp x maple syrup

1 x tsp cinnamon

Instructions:

1. In a medium-sized bowl, mash the banana well with a fork (or 3/4 of the banana if you want some slices for decor).
2. Next, beat the egg and banana together until slightly bubbly.
3. Stir in the oats to combine.
4. Using a pastry brush (or kitchen paper if you don’t have one), spread a thin layer of the oil onto a medium based non-stick frying pan.
5. Heat the pan on low-medium heat. Ladle a small amount of batter into the pan and spread to a medium thickness pancake round. Depending on the side of your pan, you may want to do 2 batches, re-oiling the pan in between.
6. Fry the pancakes for about 3 minutes a side, or until golden brown. Then, gently flip each pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes before transferring to a serving plate. WARNING: These pancakes are delicate, so you need to be careful when flipping. I recommend using two small fish slices/ spatulas to keep them in one piece!
7. Cook another batch if necessary until all the batter is cooked.
8. Top with extra banana, maple syrup, cinnamon, or even peanut/ almond butter as desired.
