Method
- Place half the blueberries in a blender or nutri-bullet with the peeled banana, milk, egg and flour. Blitz into a smoothie batter free of lumps
- Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and add the remaining blueberries, mixing through gently
- Place a large non-stick fry pan* on a medium heat. Once hot, slowly pour the batter into the pan to your prefer pancake size
- Cook for a few minutes, then flip and cook for a further few minutes on the other side. Adjust the heat as required to ensure your pancakes don’t burn
- Continue in this way until the batter is finished and you have a stack of mouth-watering pancakes
- To serve, drizzle with honey and additional blueberries. For additional flavour consider adding a dollop of yoghurt with cinnamon and crushed nuts.
*If you don’t have non-stick pan, please use a cooking spray or a small knob of butter to ensure your pancakes don’t stick
