If you’re a peanut butter addicted like me then this recipe is the one for you. Filled with fresh blueberries but with a cheeky twist to indulge in!

Ingredients:

• 100g fresh blueberries


• 150g spelt flour or oats


• 1 tsp baking powder


• 1 large egg, beaten


• 150ml milk


• 1 tsp vanilla extract


• 2 ripe bananas, mashed


• 1 tsp peanut butter per pancake

Optional Toppings

• Greek Yoghurt


• Raspberries


• Maple Syrup

Instructions:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour with the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Make a well in the centre.


• In a second bowl, beat the egg, milk, vanilla and mashed banana together. Pour into the well in the first bowl and mix lightly to form a batter. Stir in the blueberries.


• Alternatively; add the bananas, milk, egg, vanilla, baking powder and spelt flower in a food processer and mix together.


• Then stir the blueberries into the mixture


• Put a frying pan over a medium heat. Brush the surface lightly with oil and add a small ladleful of batter into the centre of the frying pan. Add the tsp of peanut butter into the centre of the mixture and cover with another tbsp of batter.


• Cook for a couple of minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the undersides are lightly browned. Flip over and cook for a further minute or so.


• Repeat to make 10 pancakes in total. Serve the hot pancakes in stacks of 3 with a dollop of fresh yoghurt, raspberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.


• Slice into the middle to reveal a gooey peanut butter centre! Enjoy!
