Oatmeal chocolate pancakes

Not very sweet, and best served with some fruit puree. Apple sauce, mashed banana, peach puree all work well, or combine with custard. If you only have oat flakes at home, they can be easily ground to a flour in a food processor.

Ingredients

85 g oatmeal
½ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
pinch of salt
120 ml milk
1 egg
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp runny honey

Method

In a bowl, mix oatmeal, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt. In another bowl, lightly beat the egg, add milk and honey, mix well. Melt a heaped tbsp of butter, add melted butter to the milk-egg mixture, mix well. Add mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. Set aside for 30 minutes.
In a frying pan, melt butter over moderate heat. Bake small individual pancakes in batches, a couple of minutes on each side.

Variations

Use plain wheat flour, or spelt flour.
