Weekend breakfast will never be the same again once you try our Rapid Loss Banana Oat Pancakes. Flip out over this high-fiber start to the day and energise your weight loss resolve.

Ingredients

Pancakes:

• 1 scoop Banana Rapid Loss Meal Replacement
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup skim milk
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• dash of vanilla extract
• non-stick spray (like a canola oil spray)

Topping:

• 2 bananas, peeled and sliced lengthways
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons honey, plus extra to serve

Instructions

1. Combine all dry pancake ingredients in a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl whisk together milk and eggs. Add to the dry ingredients and whisk together until combined. Add more milk if the mixture is too thick.
3. Preheat a frying pan over medium heat.
4. Grease the pan with non-stick spray. Using ¼ mixture per pancake, cook 2 pancakes for 3 to 4 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for about 3 minutes or until cooked through.
5. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate.

Banana Topping

1. Keep the fry pan on medium and re-spray it. Add the honey and cinnamon and combine.
2. Once heated, add the banana slices and fry for about 2 minutes each side, or until golden brown and caramelised. You may need to adjust the temperature to ensure the bananas do not burn.
3. Remove the bananas and place between the pancakes, like a sandwich.
4. Serve immediately. 

Tips

• Do not cook your pancakes with the heat too high; medium is ideal.
• If you do not own a non-stick frypan you may need to use olive oil or coconut oil to ensure the bananas do not stick.
• For an extra-indulgent meal, serve with your favourite non-fat yogurt.
