Oatmeal Pancakes

Add all the pancake ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend to make a smooth pancake batter.  Set the batter to one side and leave for 20 minutes.

Place a large frying pan onto a medium heat. Use a piece of kitchen towel to wipe your choice of oil around the frying pan. Drop a large tablespoon of batter per pancake into the pan – this means you can make 3 or 4 pancakes at a time.  Leave to cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles start to rise to the surface, then turn over and cook until golden on both sides.

Place the pancakes on a plate and keep warm in the oven on a low heat while you make the rest of the batter into pancakes.

Serve the pancakes with the melted chocolate sauce, sliced bananas and chopped almonds.
