Quick & Easy to Make Healthy Banoffee Pancakes

Quick & Easy Banoffee Pancakes 


So this recipe is an alternative to those unhealthy pancakes we all know and love. These pancakes are made with oats, instead of flour and sugar, which contribute to them being such a guilty pleasure. Not only are they healthy but with the blend of banana and honey you get the sweet taste of Banoffee, one of my personal favourites, a guilty pleasure you can love.

Ingredients
2 eggs
2 bananas
5+ tablespoons of oats
Sprinkle of cinnamon
Squirt of honey

Makes 10

Method
1 First of all pre-heat the oven to 200 Degrees Celsius (Gas Mark 6), so when you want to use it it's already toasty, then place some baking paper on a baking tray so the mixture doesn't stick and become impossible to clean. Then I'd use a measuring jug to mix my ingredients in. Get out a fork and a spoon and that's pretty much all the equipment you’re going to need.
2 Cut up 2 bananas and put them in the jug, then mash them up with the fork until they are as close to a liquid as can be, don't worry if they are still lumpy because they are easier to mix once you add the eggs.
3 Add in the 2 eggs and stir until the banana is completely mashed to avoid lumps, once the mixture is pure silky then it's time for the oats.
4 The thickness of your pancakes depends on the amount of oats you put in. I'd recommend no less than 5 tablespoon fills so that when placed on the baking tray they don't run too much. Pour the oats onto the spoon over the jug so any excess goes in the jug anyway. Then mix. Then you can add in your honey and cinnamon which is of course optional.
5 Use a spoon to put dollops of the mixture on the baking tray, not too much is needed because they will rise. They may stick together but don't worry because when you flip them over you can separate them. Then place them in the oven.
6 I usually take my pancakes out after 10 minutes, or you could wait until they look golden brown and take them out, as they are still pancakes you want to flip them over and put them back in, for about 5 minutes until lightly golden on the other side.
7 Now you've taken your pancakes out of the oven you can decorate them in any way you choose whether it's putting whipped cream on the top with a sprinkle of honey or putting a spoonful of ice cream with them.
