Pancake Tuesday is almost upon us. Are you looking for a simple pancake recipe with ingredients you probably already have hanging around in your cupboard? And one that is on the slightly more healthy side!

You’ve come to the right place. These pancakes use oats as a base so are full of fibre and slow releasing carbs. Great for breakfast on Pancake Tuesday (if you’re organised or wake at the crack of dawn!) or for an after school snack. Theyare an easy recipe for the kids to make - they might need some help with the cooking of them though!

The bananas make them sweeter - especially if you use ripe bananas so not as much maple syrup needed! And eggs add protein for little muscles to grow and full tummies.

Like all pancakes - the possibilities are endless. We always use vanilla essence and cinnamon in our batter but they are not essential. Cacao powder will create chocolate pancakes and spinach or carrot blended in with the batter will up the nutritional value as well!

How do you like your pancakes?
