Ingredients:
- 75g Rolled oats
- 1 medium banana (about 120g when peeled)
- 1 large egg
- 50ml milk
- 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla essence
- 5ml (1 tsp) cinnamon

- 30g Montagu cranberries
- 2.5ml (½ tsp) orange zest

Method:
- Place the oats, banana, egg, milk, vanilla, spices and baking powder in a blender. Blitz until smooth.
- Stir in the raisins, cranberries and orange zest. Note: the batter will thicken on standing so use immediately.
- Heat the butter or coconut oil in a pan. Scoop 30ml/2 tablespoons of batter into the pan per pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on top of the pancake, then flip over and fry until cooked through. Keep in a warm place while you cook the rest of the batter.
- Stack the pancakes and top with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkling of banana chips. Serve immediately.
- Serving suggestion - spread some plain yoghurt on the pancakes to make them extra filling. You can also double the batter if you’re cooking for a crowd.
