healthy pancake recipe

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 125g self raising flour
  • 1tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 300ml milk
  • 1 small banana well mashed
  • 2tbsp Meridian smooth peanut butter

Method

  1. Mash together the banana and peanut butter until you have a smooth-ish thick paste. In a large bowl whisk the rest of the pancake ingredients until smooth then add the peanut butter and beat into the batter.
  2. Wipe a little oil over a heavy based, non-stick frying pan, skillet or bake stone and heat to a medium temperature.
  3. To make each pancake, pour two tablespoons of the mixture onto the pan so it forms a small circle. Cook until you see bubbles rising and the top begins to dry then flip over and cook the other side for a further minute.
  4. Cook three or four at a time depending on the size of the pan.
  5. Stack the pancakes on a warm plate in a low oven to keep warm while you’re cooking the rest. Serve with more sliced banana or some seasonal fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Cook’s tip – The batter mix can be made in advance and stored in the fridge overnight so it’s ready for breakfast time.
