Fedhealth Dream Chasers dietician Andrea du Plessis shares these healthy breakfast recipes featuring oats.
Banana Pancakes filled with Berries
Serves 1 to 2
Pancakes
2 eggs
1 large ripe banana
2 tbsp finely ground almond meal (or any flour)
2 tbsp muesli
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
Filling
Fresh fruit like berries and banana slices
Vanilla custard
Lime zest, optional
Peanut sprinkle, optional
Place eggs, banana, flour, muesli, baking powder, cinnamon and vanilla in a blender and blend until smooth. Heat a non-stick pan – lightly spray with non-stick spray. Pour batter into hot, non-stick pan. Flip pancakes when they’ve puffed slightly, are bubbling, and set on the edges. Let pancakes cool (to the touch but still warm) on a plate, so they will fold without breaking and you can hold them to eat. Fill pancakes with fruit, top with whipped custard, lime zest and enjoy! You can also add a little sprinkling of peanuts.
