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.
  • Add the mashed banana, beaten eggs and vanilla,then stir through.
  • Heat a non-stick frypan 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 low Gi honey .
