Blueberry Pancakes - Serves 4

5 ProPoints per Serving  / 6 ProPoints including Blueberry Syrup


This is a lovely breakfast and I think it would be great for kids! 

I always struggle wit breakfast ideas that are going to fill me up and keep me going till lunch. This breakfast works! 

You don't have to use blueberries. You could use banana, mango, stewed apple instead of the syrup.

Ingredients - pancakes 

100g flour, self raising
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp maple syrup 
1 egg
100ml milk
Handful blueberries, fresh or frozen
1tsp low fat butter 

Ingredients - syrup

2 handfuls of blueberries, frozen or fresh
Tsp honey

Method

1. Whisk all the pancake ingredients together, except the blueberries, until smooth

2. Heat the butter in the pan and dollop a spoonful of the mixture in to the pan. My pan can take 2 pancakes at a time and this mixture makes 12 pancakes. 

3. Add three to four blueberries to the pancake and wait for it to cook. 

4. Once bubbles have formed on the top of the pancake and it looks a little set, flip it

5. To make the sauce, put the honey and blueberries in a pan and bring to a boil. Simmer and stir to help some of the berries pop

6. Serve pancakes with syrup on top
