Pumpkin and prune oaty pancakes

When I feel peckish during the day these pumpkin and prune oaty pancakes come in very handy. They are also perfect for a healthy breakfast or brunch as they are gluten-free, dairy-free and refined-sugar-free. Serve them with maple syrup or fruit compote if you like - I like to eat them just as they are - delicious!

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup porridge oats
  • 1 egg
  • 1 banana
  • 2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 4 small or 2 large prunes
  • ½ tsp cinnamon powder
  • ½ cup almond or coconut milk approx

Method
 

  1. Put the egg, banana, prunes, half of the pumpkin seeds and cinnamon into a blender. Process for a few seconds, then add enough almond/coconut milk to get a thick but spreadable batter.
  2. Fold in the remaining pumpkin seeds (but don’t blitz now).
  3. Lightly oil a pancake pan, then add dollops of the batter, using the bottom of the spoon to make them into circular shapes (alternatively use silicon pancake moulds). Cook for a couple of minutes, then flip them over and cook for another minute or so until golden.
  4. Transfer the pankaces to a plate and repeat the above with the remaining batter.
  5. Serve at room temperature.
