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

1. 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.
2. Place a skillet on medium heat. After spraying the pan, pour batter into 4-inch diameter circles (using about 1/4 cup of batter).
3. While the pancakes are cooking, hand chop the almonds on a cutting board with a sharp knife.
4. Once the pancakes begin to bubble, flip them and cook for another minute or so on the other side until golden brown.
5. 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?
