Some people love the Breakfast Club but I like our Brunch Club best.
This past weekend we made a delicious celebratory (football!) brunch using belated mother’s day recipes. It was a sunny day and the whole atmosphere was homey and rustic.
We also made healthy pancakes that didn’t taste ‘healthy’!
Banana Almond Oatmeal Pancakes (Priya found this on a website of old family recipes)
You’ll need:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup quick or rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups milk (skim or 1-2%)
- 1 banana, diced
- Cooking spray for pan
- 1/4 cup almonds
- 1 banana, sliced
- In a bowl, mix the flour, oats, baking powder, salt, egg, cinnamon, and honey. Stir in the milk to the desired consistency. Stir in the bananas.
- Place a skillet on medium heat. After spraying the pan, pour batter into 4-inch diameter circles (using about 1/4 cup of batter).
- While the pancakes are cooking, hand chop the almonds on a cutting board with a sharp knife.
- Once the pancakes begin to bubble, flip them and cook for another minute or so on the other side until golden brown.
- Serve the pancakes with sliced bananas and chopped almonds.
Makes 10-12 medium pancakes. We had them with golden syrup (maple syrup is also great), strawberries, bananas, and the chopped almonds, which added a great crunch.
We also made scrambled eggs with salmon, nutmeg ricotta pie (made the day before, to be perfectly honest), baguette with mushroom pate and homemade yogurt. A great start to a Sunday, wouldn’t you say?
