Almond and Oat Blueberry Pancakes

Method

Step one

Sieve the flour, baking powder, salt and caster sugar into a large bowl.

Step two

Mix in the oats and ground almonds.

Step three

In a separate bowl, lightly whisk together the milk and egg, then the melted butter.

Step four

Slowly pour the mixture onto the flour mixture, whisking all the time, until a smooth batter is achieved. Allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes, then fold in the blueberries just before cooking.

Step five

Using a lightly oiled, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, cook the pancakes until golden brown, then turn and repeat until the pancakes are fully cooked through. Keep warm until service.

Step six

For the sauce, bring the orange juice, maple syrup and sugar to a simmer, then sprinkle in the thickening granules and stir until thickened.

To serve:

Serve 2 pancakes per portion, top with fresh blueberries, drizzle with the orange and maple sauce and dust with icing sugar.

Tips

Try adding other wholegrains, seeds, blackcurrants or your favourite nuts. The cooked pancakes will freeze, so you can make them in advance.
