Tasty Tuesdays - Pancake Day

Ideal for a yummy, quick and easy breakfast. 

Today for pancake day we treated ourselves to some Oat and Banana Pancakes. Wheat free too. Not that I don't eat wheat. Love my Bread.

Ingredients:

2 Bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup of oats
Splash of milk
Splash of vanilla essence (but this is for my personal taste)
Butter for cooking


Method:


Turn you hob on to get it heated up whilst you make the batter.

Break up the banana and crack open the eggs then add all of the ingredients into a jug or blender. Mix them all together to make the pancake batter. I used a stick blender to achieve the smooth consistency. 

Place your pan of the hob then add a small knob of butter to grease up your frying pan. Allow your pan a few minutes to get piping hot.

Using a tablespoon, scoop out 2 spoonfuls of the mix into your frying pan and using circular motions with the back of the spoon. Smooth out a small cup size pancake, I can fit three into a large frying pan.

Leave to cook for 20 seconds (the first batch will need 5 seconds longer as the pan is still heating up) and start to gently lift up the pancake from the frying pan ready to turn over. Do the same for the others and leave each for another 20seconds to cook. If they aren't cooked fully, just simply turn them over and allow to cook for a further 5-10 seconds to finish.

Et voila, you have small circular-ish pancakes.

We served ours with maple syrup but you can serve them with anything for fruit to chocolate to ice cream. Enjoy.


All ingredients in a jug







Blended to a smooth batter using a stick blender.



Circular motions with the back of a tablespoon to create the shapes of the pancakes.



Turning over time, using the spatula gently to prevent tearing.


The first side will be browner then the second side.


What the second side looks like in comparison.


Note: If you stack the pancakes ready on the plate as you make them, it will keep them hotter for longer.



Pancakes a go to get in my belly, served with maple syrup. Oh yummy times.
