What are cinnamon pancakes?

Pancakes are a familiar griddled breakfast found in many forms around the world; cinnamon gives this version a warm, sweet-spice flavour. The recipe combines oat and wholemeal flours with banana and protein powder for a compact, blended batter.

Blending makes the banana easy to distribute through the batter, while the suggested fruit and honey bring fresh and sweet finishes.

The oat and wholemeal flours, banana and any sweetener contribute most of the carbohydrates; the egg and protein powder provide protein, while the egg and any milk in the chosen liquid contribute fat. For a more balanced plate, serve a portion with the suggested fruit and choose a liquid that suits your preferences.

Choosing the ingredients

Flour blend: oat flour and wholemeal flour provide the dry base. Measure both before blending so the batter proportions stay consistent.

Liquid: the recipe leaves the choice open. Water or milk can be used, but the batter’s flavour and nutrition will vary with your choice.

Spices: cinnamon is the main flavour, with nutmeg adding a little extra warmth. Add the sweetener to taste.

Getting the batter right

Blending: mix until the banana is broken down and the ingredients are evenly combined. Scrape down the sides if flour is left clinging to the blender.

Consistency: the recipe gives a fixed amount of liquid but no adjustment instructions. If the batter is difficult to portion, blend thoroughly and let it settle briefly before cooking.

Cooking and flipping

Medium heat: cook the batter over medium heat, as directed, so the pancakes have time to set before turning. If the first pancake browns too quickly, lower the heat slightly.

Flip cue: wait until bubbles begin to appear on the surface, then turn the pancake. Cook the second side for about 30 seconds.

Serving ideas

Fruit: golden kiwi and pear are the suggested toppings. Slice them shortly before serving for an easy fresh accompaniment.

Honey: drizzle it over the pancakes at the end, adjusting the amount to suit your taste. Serve the pancakes warm.

Recipe notes & tips

  • Blend the batter well so the banana is evenly incorporated.
  • Use medium heat and let the pan warm before adding batter.
  • Cook in batches if needed so the pancakes have room in the pan.
  • Wait for bubbles to appear before flipping.
  • Add the honey just before serving to keep its amount easy to adjust.

Variations

  • Use milk: choose milk as the liquid for a richer-tasting batter.
  • Change the fruit: top with another sliced fruit in place of the kiwi or pear.
  • Adjust the spice: use less cinnamon for a gentler flavour.
  • Skip the honey: leave it off or use the sweetener of your choice.
  • Add extra fruit: serve more pear or golden kiwi alongside the pancakes.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Flipping too early: wait until bubbles start to appear on the surface.
  • Cooking too hot: use medium heat so the outside does not brown before the pancake sets.
  • Uneven blending: blend until the banana and dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
  • Overcooking the second side: cook it for about 30 seconds, as directed.
  • Adding too much honey: drizzle it on at the end and adjust to taste.

How to store

Refrigerate leftover pancakes in a covered container and eat within 2 days. Reheat in a pan over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through; store fruit and honey separately.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use water as the liquid?

Yes. The recipe allows a liquid of your choice, so water is an option; milk will give the batter a different flavour and nutrition profile.

When should I flip the pancakes?

Flip when bubbles begin to appear on the surface. Cook the other side for about 30 seconds.

Can I make the batter without a blender?

The method calls for blending all the ingredients. Without a blender, mash the banana very thoroughly and mix until the batter is as even as possible.

What toppings go with these pancakes?

The suggested toppings are golden kiwi, pear and honey. Add them to taste just before serving.

Can I prepare the batter ahead?

The recipe does not specify make-ahead instructions. For the intended texture, blend the batter shortly before cooking.
