Recipe

Serves: 1

Time: 20 minutes

Skill required: mixing, stirring the pot, frying and flipping the pancake

Equipment: 1 mixing bowl/blender, 1 small saucepan, 1 pan, 1 serving plate

Ingredient list

Pancake mix:

• 1 small banana (mashed)

• 1 egg

• 1/2 cup self-raising wholemeal flour

• up to 1/4 cup water/milk

Compote (optional):

• 1 cup mixed berries/fruit

• 1tsp cinnamon powder (optional)

Toppings we used:

• Yoghurt/ricotta cheese (optional)

• syrup/honey (optional)
  
  

Methods

1. Make the batter: Mix mashed banana, flour and egg until well-corporated. Add a splash of water/milk if the mixture is too thick to work with. (OR blend all ingredients using a mixer/food processor until well-corporated). Rest aside.

2. Make the compote (optional): On low-medium heat, add a cup of mixed berries/fruit and cinnamon powder. Keep stirring as the fruit cook until most fruits disintegrate and a thick sauce forms (able to coat the back of the spoon). Remove from the heat.

3. Cook the pancake: On low heat, heat up 1 tsp of oil in a pan and allow it to coat the pan evenly. Add the pancake mix to the pan and fry for 60-90 seconds on each side or until it turns golden.

4. To assemble: place the pancakes on a plate, add compote and other toppings of your choice.
   

Dietitian’s Tips

• Keep the pancake batter fresh: squeeze a little bit of lemon juice in the batter to prevent the banana from oxidising if not cooking immediately.

• Seasonal fruits: Pick the fruit you enjoy. Frozen fruits, berries, and heartier fruits are great for making compote. For summer freshness, serve with fresh fruit instead.

• Topping choice: Fruits, yoghurt/light ricotta (sugar-free) syrups are great choices. Other recommended toppings include: nuts & nut butter, dark chocolate chips/drizzle, popcorns, etc.
