Ingredients
- 50g Essential Porridge Oats
- 150g Essential Self Raising Flour
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra to serve
- 2 ripe Essential Bananas
- 230ml Alpro Oat No Sugars Chilled Dairy Free Milk Alternative
- 1 tbsp maple syrup, plus extra to serve
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- Alpro Plain Natural Dairy Free Soya Yogurt Alternative, to serve
Method
Mix the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Mash 50g banana with a fork and put in a jug with the oat drink and maple syrup; whisk together. Whisk the banana and oat drink mixture into the dry ingredients.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add 1 tbsp oil and, once hot, add 2 spoonfuls of batter per pancake (you should have enough for 6 pancakes and be able to cook 2-3 at a time). Cook for 2-3 minutes until the surface is covered in bubbles, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side; transfer to a warm platter. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
Serve topped with a dollop of yogurt alternative, the remaining banana, sliced, extra maple syrup and a sprinkling of cinnamon.
Cook’s tip
Leftovers
Ground cinnamon
Its warming, aromatic notes make this a favoured spice for puddings and bakes, particularly those involving apples and pears. It’s also delicious stirred into hot chocolate or savoury lamb stews.
