Quick and easy pancakes with Banana, Honey & Low-Fat yoghurt

 

During the week most of us are happy with a quick bowl of cereal and some fruit for breakfast, but over weekends when we have a bit more time, it’s nice to spoil ourselves and our families with something special.

When the folks from Kellogg’s challenged me to make something with their new Special K Oats & Honey, I was incredibly excited. I’ve eaten Special K since I was a student and am particularly fond of the Red Berries product. I knew that I would have fun developing recipes around the newest addition to their cereal family and once I tasted Special K Oats & Honey, I was hooked. It’s subtly sweet with lots of crunch.

I wanted to add this crunch to one of my all-time weekend breakfast favourites – pancakes. I decided to crush the Special K slightly and fold it into the pancake batter to add texture and when they were cooked, piled them high and served them with fresh banana, a drizzle of honey and a dollop of thick Greek yoghurt. Quick, healthy and delicious!

Makes approximately 12 pancakes (depending on size)

150g flour
5ml baking powder
pinch of salt
2 T sugar
1 egg
125ml skimmed milk
50ml butter, melted
75g Special K Oats & Honey, slightly crushed
to serve
sliced bananas
honey
low-fat/Greek yoghurt

1. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
2. Combine the egg, milk and butter in a separate bowl and mix well.
3. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet.
4. Gently mix in the wet ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
5. Fold in the crushed Special K Honey & Oats.
6. Fry spoonfuls of the mixture in a warm, non-stick frying pan (approximately 2 minutes per side).
7. Flip over and continue frying until cooked.
8. Remove the pancakes from the pan and keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
9. Serve with sliced bananas, honey and Greek yoghurt.
