Make all your pancakes at once by baking the batter in the oven! One giant tray full of your favourite pancake mix! Leave it to cook while you get on with your morning routine! Perfect #weekendbreakfast
- 1/2 banana
- 1 cup porridge oats gluten free if required
- 1/2 cup plain flour gluten free if required
- 1-2 cups milk (quantity depends on viscosity) dairy free if required
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder gluten free if required
- pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons ground linseed/flax sub 1 egg if that's your thing!
- 1/2 cup mixed berries
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips dairy free if required
- 2 teaspoons coconut sugar
- * toppings to serve
-
Put the banana, oats, flour, milk, baking powder, salt and flax in a blender and blend until combined. The mixture should be fairly thick but pourable (add more milk if required).
-
Pour into a lined baking tin (we used a 26cm x 17cm rectangular tin) so the batter is about 0.5cm. You should have some left over.
-
Scatter your berries, chocolate and half the sugar over the top, then drizzle a bit more batter over to partially cover them. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top. The batter should not exceed 1cm (0.75cm is ideal)!
-
Bake at Gas Mark 6 (400F / 200c) for 20-30 minutes. The batter should be just starting to get crispy around the edges. The top will likely crack but this doesn't affect the taste. Cook for a bit longer if you want a crispier bake.
-
Serve with your toppings. Enjoy!
- Just use the idea and use your favourite pancake batter mix (make sure it is thick enough).
- Customise the pancakes to suit you and your family.
- Make smaller individual pancakes by using small round cake tins (don't forget to line them first).
- Add your favourite fillings: berries & chocolate; apples & cinnamon; banana & honey; peanut butter & chocolate; or just leave plain for toppings.
- Blend a spoonful of cacao or your favourite spice to the batter to make a flavoured pancake.
- Be fancy and make a symmetrical pattern with your fillings, or make a smiley face, a heart, a name...
- Top your cooked pancake slices with chocolate spread, yogurt, jam, sugar, syrup, more fruits, nuts, nut butter or anything else you fancy!
- Store any leftovers wrapped in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat by popping in a preheated oven for five minutes.
