Mother's Day is the perfect excuse for a slow morning and a tall stack of pancakes. 🥞✨
Nothing says "we love you" like the smell of fresh batter and the sound of a sizzling pan. This year, skip the crowded brunch spots and bring the café vibes home with this foolproof recipe.
What you'll need ~
100g mixed dried fruit and nuts
1 large free-range egg
1 cup of self-raising flour
1 cup of milk
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 ripe bananas
olive oil
6 tablespoons full-cream yoghurt
50g sliced almonds
honey for serving
Let's get baking ~
Blitz the dried fruit and nuts in a food processor to a chunky crumb.
Crack the egg into a large mixing bowl, add the flour, milk and cinnamon, and whisk together until you have a smooth batter.
Peel and slice the bananas. Place a large frying pan on a medium heat with 1 teaspoon of oil. Add two banana slices to the pan and fry for 3 minutes, or until lightly caramelised.
Pour a ladleful of batter over each banana, cook for 2 minutes, or until tiny bubbles appear on the surface and the base is golden, then confidently flip them over and cook for 1 minute more. Repeat as required with the remaining bananas and batter.
Serve straight away, topped with a dollop of yoghurt, fresh banana slices, almonds and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmothers, and mother figures who keep our hearts (and plates) full! ❤️🐄
