Pear & cinnamon protein pancakes

Breakfast & Brunch

Serves one 

  • Rolled oats, raw, 25 g

  • Chia seeds, 3 teaspoon(s)

  • Baking powder, ¼ teaspoon(s)

  • Banana, ½ medium, mashed

  • Eggs, raw, 2 60g egg(s), beaten

  • Vanilla bean extract, ½ teaspoon(s)

  • Greek yoghurt, low fat, 100 g

  • Pear, ½ small pear(s), thinly sliced

  • Ground cinnamon, 1 pinch(s)

Method

Use a food processor to finely grind your oats into a flour, then transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the chia seeds and baking powder. Mix to combine. Alternatively, to add texture to your pancakes keep oats whole without processing.

Add the mashed banana, beaten eggs and vanilla, then stir through.

Heat a non-stick fry pan over a medium heat. Once evenly heated, pour enough of the batter in to make two small pancakes. Once bubbles start to appear (this should only take 2-3 minutes) flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.

Place your pancakes on a plate, then top with yoghurt, and arrange pear slices over the top. Sprinkle with cinnamon prior to serving.

TIP: You may like to drizzle with a teaspoon of honey
