Banana Raisin Pancakes
There aren’t many things better than pancakes on a Saturday morning with the family!
Take your pancakes to the next level with this tasty banana raisin version.
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup plain flour
½ cup raisins
2 ripe bananas, divided
½ cup milk
1½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp. extra - virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
Yoghurt and honey for serving
Method
Blend 1 cup oats in a food processor until finely ground but with some texture remaining.
Peel 1 banana and tear into large pieces. Add to ground oats along with flour, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, and 3 Tbsp. oil. Process, stopping to scrape down sides as needed, until well combined. Remove bowl from base and stir in the raisins.
Let sit 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, thinly slice remaining banana and set aside.
Heat 1 tsp. oil in a fry pan, swirling to coat bottom of pan. Working in batches of 2 or3, depending on the size of your pan, scoop in about ¼ cup batter per pancake and flatten slightly with a spatula. Arrange a few reserved banana slices on top, then reduce heat to medium, and cook until set and golden-brown underneath. Flip pancakes over and cook on other side until golden brown. Transfer to a large plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil to pan between batches as needed.
Serve pancakes topped with yoghurt and honey.
