Healthy Breakfast

I'm trying out new foods to have for breakfast - ideally healthier options - and I wanted to try out pancakes because (a) I love pancakes and.....well that's it really.

I saw that a lot of people I follow on Twitter made banana pancakes and substituted the flour with oats. Pancakes sounded far more exciting that porridge so here is my attempt...

The recipe I used is from this website:

2 bananas

2 eggs

1/2 cup of rolled oats

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

pinch of salt

maple syrup, fresh fruit (optional, to serve)

First of all, you put the first 5 ingredients in a blender, until you get a smoothish batter

I freeze bananas that no one wants to eat anymore -
just put them in freezer bags in pairs - good for baking

You then need to leave the batter for 10-20mins so that it thickens slightly.

Blended banana gloop

You then fry them - they seemed a bit more sticky than normal pancake mix and harder to flip over.

Oh, did I mention they tasted horrible?

I still ate them - my bananas pancakes with
maple syrup and raspberries

I think I'd rather just eat normal pancakes as a treat rather than attempt this again but if you can recommend a good variation, let me know.

But for now, back to the Special K.
