Ingredients

Pancake batter
  • 1 1/2 cups wholemeal flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cups light milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp grated fresh nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Coconut topping
  • 1/2 cup light Greek yoghurt
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes, toasted
  • 1 punnet fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • Mint leaves to serve
Blueberry and chia compote
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp honey

Method

Step 1:

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix all of your pancake batter ingredients and leave to rest for a few minutes.

Step 2:

Heat a large, non-stick frypan over a medium heat and add 1/4 tablespoon of your oil.

Step 3:

Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour 3 to 4 even sized pancakes into your pan, depending on its size, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until little holes form around the edges. Flip and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Step 4:

Remove from pan onto a plate and cover with a tea towel. Repeat until all your batter is used up. This should make 10 pancakes.

Step 5:

Stack as many pancakes as you like on your plate and serve with your desired topping.

For the coconut topping

Step 1:

Lightly toast your coconut flakes in a pan with no oil, then serve on top of pancakes with yoghurt, washed raspberries, honey and mint.

For the blueberry and chia compote

Step 1:

Place blueberries, chia seeds and honey into a small saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally.

Step 2:

Simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, still stirring occasionally, then drizzle over pancakes while warm.
