Good idea faffa - a little bit healthy !!  That'll fool them 

[faffa_70]

Don't say it too loud Thermomixer or you will give up my game to them!  I am toying with making 70g of the flour wholemeal flour. I think that the recipe would support it without noticing it too much by the teens - sometimes they are fussier than the 4 and 2yo

Okay,

this will be an afternoon treat tomorrow , it just sounds too good to skip it .

The funny thing is: America, Canada, Australia all eat pancakes for breakfast. In Germany and Netherlands they are a main dish. I love pankakes for lunch with a mixed salad an cheese baked in.

270 g spelt
30 g walnuts
40 g oats
2 eggs
275 g milk
1 tablespoon agave (or Honey)

2 bananas in quatres
3 teaspoons bakingpouder

Preparation:

• Mill spelt in two portions, each: 2 min./speed 10, set aside.
• Mix walnuts and oats 1 sec./speed 10, put with the flour.

Well after going to the fridge this morning and finding no milk, I was glad that I thought this recipe contained butter milk and had taken some out of the freezer last night!

We all thought that they were a nicer pancake this morning, lighter and fluffier. Yummier

Faffa,  love this recipe.   Made it for tea last night. Very versatile,  add a couple of egg yolks left over from cooking and some egg wash left over from bread making. These are substantial perfect to follow a soup dinner.  Thanks faffa ,

Glad you like them Chookie, they are a firm favourite for the weekend breakfast in this house.

I wonder if the mini's will let me cook these for breaky instead of plain ones? 

[faffa_70]

For the first time you try them Rubyslippers I would try blitzing the walnuts quite small ...that is how I got away with it. Now I can leave them quite chunky and the banana too (you might need to process it a little longer when you add the banana as well) - it's all about deception I can tell you

Thanks for the tips Kathryn

Thanks for the recipe idea for breakfast this morning Faffa. I had to compromise and they still turned out great. One wanted banana, another apple and another plain pancakes. With your recipe I made plain apple/banana pancakes and they loved it. Just added 1 apple and 1 banana instead of 2 banana's, no walnuts. I also found I needed a little more buttermilk to make them the right consitency. Could have been my flour or the fruit I'm not sure. They were a hit anyway and we have some left over for afternoon tea. Next time I'm going to try the spelt version with finely grount walnuts and see how that goes.
