Seasonal Pancakes

Here’s my version of this breakfast favourite, yeah there are lots of versions already out there. But give this one a go! The recipe contains no egg, is super simple to put together and let's face it. Pear and pumpkin seeds are regularly paired in dishes and that’s because they work so well together. And let's not forget the generous helping of maple syrup you want to add to this dish for that extra sweetness. The breakfast itself comes to 600 calories and gives you 32g of protein in each serving. Making it a great way to start the day ahead.

1 Banana

25g of whey protein from Spartan

1 cup of almond milk

1 tsp baking powder

Coconut oil

  • Add the banana, oats, protein powder, almond milk and baking powder to a blender. Blitz for a few a minutes until you have a runny mixture.

  • Chop up your pear and add this into a pan with some maple syrup and pumpkin seeds then cook on a low heat before adding in your cinnamon.

  • Whilst your topping is cooking. Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil to a flat frying pan on a medium heat. Then pour in your pancake mixture slowly creating one pancake at a time. Cook on both sides for a few mins until golden brown.
