Method

Step 1

Preheat the grill oven.

Step 2

Mix the ground almonds, oats, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, until well combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs and mix, until well combined.

Step 4

Add the vanilla to the milk and slowly pour into the mixture to reduce the chance of lumps.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate and baking powder.

Step 6

If you prefer to cook the pancakes individually, divide the butter into tsp portions and heat a non-stick frying pan with 1 tsp butter, until just melted. Add a small ladle of the mixture to the pan, over medium heat. Flip when bubbles are forming on the top of the pancake.

Step 7

If using a skillet, heat 2 tbsp of butter in a large skillet, until just melted.

Step 8

Add the entire mixture to the skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the mixture to cook for 5-8mins, then reduce the heat to low to avoid burning the base of the pancake. Cook for a further 8-10mins.

Step 9

Pop the skillet in the oven under the grill to brown the top for 5-8mins.

Step 10

Serve with sliced bananas and peanut butter.
