Caramelized Orange and Banana Pancakes

I am a self-professed pancake lover!! I would happily eat them every day if I could. These pancakes are what I like to call special occasion pancakes. You are not going to make them every day but when you do, you are in for a serious treat!

Pineapple would work great caramelized on top as a variation to orange and banana.

If you need anymore pancake inspiration try one of my other recipes. After all Who Doesn’t Love Pancakes!!

Serves 1.

• 1 egg
• 2 medium over-ripe bananas
• zest of 1 mandarin orange
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 50mls milk or buttermilk
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp brown sugar or ½ tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp plain Greek-style or natural yoghurt
• 1 tsp seed mix (linseed, poppy, chia, sesame, buckwheat groats)

1. Whisk together 1 banana, eggs, orange zest, baking powder and milk until smooth.
2. Add the flour and whisk again until well combined.
3. Melt 1/3 of the coconut oil on a non-stick pan over a medium heat.
4. Place 1/3 of the pancake batter on the pan and cook through. Flip over and continue to cook.
5. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter making two more pancakes. Keep pancakes warm as you caramelize the fruit.
6. Melt the butter and brown sugar together in the frying pan over a medium heat until it begins to bubble. Slice the banana into slices and cut the orange into three.
7. Place the fruit onto the pan and spoon over the syrup. Cook for 2 minutes on a high heat until evenly browned.
8. To serve: spoon yoghurt between pancakes to create a tower. Top with the caramelized fruit and sprinkle over the seeds. Spoon over any remaining syrup from the frying pan.

Happy cooking,
