![[VIDEO] Breakfast oat pancakes w/ caramelised bananas and blueberries](http://www.mydaddycooks.com/wp-content/themes/eVid/timthumb.php?src=http://www.mydaddycooks.com/bananaicon.jpg&h=185&w=185&zc=1)
We finally filmed a breakfast! I have been meaning to do this for a while – and have had a lot of requests to do so – but getting all the camera gear organised in the morning is not easy. Plus I am NOT. A. MORNING. PERSON!
Breakfast in this house is usually a very simple affair – cereals/ porridge/ toast/ fruits/ fresh juices. But where time permits, I do enjoy cooking in the morning and it is important to vary what we give Archie.
Having introduced Archie to “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” at the weekend, it is entirely appropriate to call these oat pancakes “truly scrumptious”. Yes, they are sweet but it is not as if he is eating golden syrup every day (although he would if he was given half a chance to do so!).
As it’s a breakfast recipe, I don’t want to be getting bogged down with weighing scales so I just make this recipe based on spoonfuls of the ingredients. As with all my dishes, a little bit of variation in the quantities will not harm the finished dish in any way…
These ingredients made ten small pancakes. We ate six and froze the remaining four. If you are intending to use all ten pancakes immediately, you’d need to cook an extra banana.
Preparation time was about 5 minutes, cooking time 8-10 minutes in total.
5 tbsp plain flour
2 1/2 tbsp ground porridge oats
1 tsp baking powder
A tall glass of milk (approx 250ml)
One egg
2 bananas
Blueberries to serve
2 tbsp golden syrup
An inch chunk of butter (approx 40g) plus some extra for cooking with
*If you would prefer to use just one pan, cook the pancakes first, then cook the bananas in the same pan*
Yum yum!
Looks delicious – Archie was obviously very keen to eat them
Can you buy ground porridge oats or do you blitz them in a food processor?
Thanks Ani, the porridge oats were just bought. On the box they are called "instant oats", basically normal oats ground into a fine-ish powder…
They look delicious. I always used to make pancakes on Sunday mornings for a treat when my kids were little. Never tried them with porridge oats though, so who knows… this Sunday, pancakes might just be on the menu again.
Not good for a pregnant woman to be watching late at night – I'm STARVING now!
Fab counting by Archie, and I love his interaction with it all: Will the bananas melt? Telling you that it smells nice.
Lucky boy having those for breakfast!
Could you use Ready Brek as ground oats. What about just sticking normal oats in?
Hi Emma, I think Ready Brek is the same thing. It’s basically ground porridge oats, if I am not mistaken… I suspect normal oats will be a bit too “large”…
We just made it and it was lovely! We used Ready Brek for the ground porridge oats. My daughter (11.5 months) loved it – she ate the most pancake she ever has (usually I leave any sweet syrup off her portion but I thought it would be too mean to with this dish!) She enjoyed helping us cook it but spent most of her time eating the bananas before we got them in the pan!!
I use normal oats but whizzed them up in a coffee bean grinder. A nut grinder would work just as well.
Thanks a lot for the info Stephen…Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device

Wow that looks awesome!

Just whipped these up this morning. They really are very quick to prepare and v yummy!
Hello Jess, I hope The Pie approved!! xSent from my BlackBerry® wireless device
This is yummy, but we also just cooked up the bananas with a pinch of cinamon to top porridge.
