Ingredients: 

50g Flahavan’s Progress Oats

2 eggs

2 ripe bananas

½ level tsp baking powder

30ml milk

300g fresh or frozen berries

2 tbsp maple syrup

200ml Greek yoghurt

25g flaked almonds

Method:

1. Put 200g blueberries in a pan with 2 tbsp maple syrup. Put over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Simmer gently, stirring often, until the berries begin to burst. Remove from the heat and set aside.
2. In a blender, combine all the ingredient for 2-3 minutes until smooth then allow to stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
3. Put a large frying pan over a medium heat. Brush the surface lightly with oil and add small ladles of batter, spacing them out well. Cook for a couple of minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the undersides are lightly browned. Flip over and cook for a further minute or so.
4. Serve the hot pancakes in stacks of 3 with the berry compote, Greek yoghurt and sprinkle with flaked almonds.
