COCONUT INFUSED BANANA, BLUEBERRY AND PECAN PANCAKES

Servings: 8
Prep Time: 15
Cook Time: 25 min

Ingredients
For the batter
• 150ml/5fl oz coconut milk (made with 1 tablespoon of TIANA® Fairtrade Organics Raw Coconut Goodness mixed with 3 tablespoons of water)
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 ripe banana, peeled and mashed
• 200g/7oz blueberries
• 100g/3½oz porridge oats
• 50g/1¾oz pecan nuts, roughly chopped
• Pinch of sea salt

For the blueberry compote
• 100g/3½oz TIANA® Fairtrade Organics Crystallised Raw Coconut Nectar, low glycaemic index sugar alternative
• 200g/7oz blueberries

To serve
• 8 tablespoons of TIANA® Raw Fairtrade Organics Raw Active Honey of your choice
• 2 bananas, peeled and cut into thin slices
• a handful of strawberries to decorate
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 120°C fan/gas ½.
2. In a food processor, pulse the oats until you have a coarse flour. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the baking powder and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the mashed banana with the milk (you can do this in the food processor, if you like). Beat the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and leave the batter to sit for a few minutes.
4. For the blueberry compote, put the blueberries and TIANA® coconut nectar in a small frying pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until you have a thick shiny compote. Set aside until ready to serve.
5. Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add the banana slices and fry on both sides in the dry pan until golden-brown and caramelised. Keep warm in the oven.
6. Put the pan back on the heat and add a little TIANA® coconut oil. Drop in a generous tablespoon of batter for each pancake. Once the sides are cooked and bubbles have risen to the top, scatter over a handful of blueberries and flip the pancake over.
7. Turn them over and cook for a further couple of minutes until they become lightly coloured.
8. Keep them warm in the oven while you cook the remaining pancakes.
9. Serve the pancakes in a stack with the banana slices. Add some chopped pecans and a squeeze of lime, and, if you like, with a drizzle of maple syrup. Serve the compote on the side.
