Blueberry Oat Pancakes

Prep and cooking time: 15mins

Complex carb portions, per serving: 1

Freezable

Ingredients

Serves: 4

2 bananas

70g rolled oats

3 medium eggs

1 tbsp butter

50-100g blueberries

200g plain natural, Greek yoghurt or cottage cheese (optional)

40g crushed nuts or 4 tbsp nut butter (optional)

1 tbsp Stewed Fruit (optional)

Method

  1. If you have a blender, blend the bananas, oats, eggs, and 1⁄2 tsp of salt until smooth. If you’re not using a blender, use a fork to roughly mash the bananas. Add the eggs, oats, and salt. Stir to combine until smooth.

  2. Heat 1⁄3 tbsp of the butter in a frying pan, over medium heat. It should melt quickly but not brown.

  3. Pour the batter into the pan to desired size (approx. 10- 12cm), roughly 1cm thick to make 8 pancakes. Scatter the blueberries on top.

  4. When bubbles start forming on the top, flip with a spatula. Reduce the heat slightly and cook until both sides are golden brown. Repeat until all the batter is used up.

  5. Top with yoghurt or cottage cheese and sprinkle with nuts.

Second Nature special tip

For a lighter, fluffier pancake, blend the oats into ‘oat flour’ before adding to the mixture. Instead of cooking the mixture in a pan, you can add 1⁄2 tsp baking powder to the mixture and bake in a baking tin.
