Ingredients

25 g rolled oats whole
½ frozen banana mashed
2 egg beaten
½ tsp vanilla extract
3 tsp chia seeds
¼ tsp baking powder
½ pear thinly sliced
100 g low fat Greek yoghurt
1 pinch ground cinnamon

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 .
