Ingredients

  • 200 g plain flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 banana average sized, mashed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 130 g / 4 ½ oz Fat free Greek style yogurt or plain yogurt
  • 200 ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 55 g / 2oz Melted butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl and then stir in the sugar.
  2. In another bowl whisk together the mashed banana, yogurt, eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk in the milk.
  3. Make a well in the centre of the flour and whisk in the wet ingredients followed by the melted butter.
  4. Then mix in the blueberries.
  5. Next heat up a small amount of oil to just coat a large non-stick frying pan.
  6. Drop 1 tablespoon of batter into the pan for each pancake, there should be room for 3 at a time.
  7. Fry on a medium heat until bubbles start to form on the surface and then turn over, takes about for 3-4 minutes in total. (I like to keep my pancakes warm on a plate enveloped in foil over a pan of simmering water).
  8. Repeat with the rest of the mixture (makes 14).
  9. Serve in stacks with maple or golden syrup and extra blueberries.
