Servings 12 Medium Pancakes
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 frying pan or crepe pan
Ingredients
- 200 g jumbo oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp cardamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Manuka honey + extra to drizzle
- 300 ml full fat milk
- 300 g full fat yoghurt
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp 20g of butter or coconut oil, melted + extra for cooking
Instructions
- Place dry ingredients into a blender and blitz until the oats have a flour-like texture. Add the wet ingredients and blitz again until just combined. Transfer the batter to a bowl and leave to rest for at least 1 hour or overnight. The batter will thicken as it sits, so add a splash of liquid to loosen if needed.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan or crepe pan to medium-hot. Add a knob of butter or coconut oil to the pan and swirl to coat the whole surface. Drop a dessertspoon of batter onto the pan and gently shape into a neat circle with the back of the spoon (the size of a cup rim).
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until pin-holes appear, then flip over and cook for a further 1–2 minutes. Remove from pan and repeat till all batter is used, adjusting heat as needed. Clean pan with kitchen paper between batches and add more butter/oil if pancakes begin to stick.
- Serve warm with your favourite topping!
