Plantain pancakes | Good Food

For the pancakes

1 ripe plantain
peeled
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
60ml oat milk
1 tbsp light brown soft sugar
60g self-raising flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp soft butter
for frying

For the topping

60g walnuts
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp oat milk
icing sugar
to dust

Method

step 1
Mash the plantain in a shallow bowl, then whisk in the egg, vanilla, sugar and oat milk. Mix the flour, cinnamon and baking powder in a separate bowl. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry until combined – don’t worry if it’s a little lumpy.
step 2
Heat a little butter in a frying pan. Pour ladlefuls of the batter into the pan and cook for 2-3 mins on each side until golden brown. Repeat for the rest of the mixture.
step 3
When all the pancakes are cooked, set aside on a plate and keep warm in a low oven if needed. For the topping, toast the walnuts in the pan, then pour in the milk and honey. Mix for a few mins until the nuts are sticky and coated. Spoon over the top of the pancakes, with a dusting of icing sugar to serve.
