Oat Pancakes

Method

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and yoghurt. Then add the flour, oats and baking powder. (Add the mashed banana, raisins, apple or blueberries now, if using.)

2. Heat a frying pan on a medium heat, add a little oil or low-calorie oil spray and dollop a generous tablespoon of the oat mixture into the middle. Cook for 2 minutes (if you are feeling adventurous and have a big enough pan, you can do a few at a time). Flip the pancake(s) over and cook for another 1–2 minutes.

3. Set aside and repeat with the rest of the mixture (you can always keep them warm in a low oven).

4. For the berry compote, place the berries (reserving a handful or so for later) in a saucepan along with the vanilla and honey. Turn the heat on and allow the berries to warm through. They will start to release their juices.

5. Once they have released their juices, bring them to a simmer and simmer gently for 20 minutes until thickened slightly. Take the pan off the heat, stir through the reserved berries and then leave to cool. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge, ready to serve with your oat pancakes and a dollop of plain yogurt.
