Ingredients

  • 2 Bananas
  • 2 Medium eggs
  • 10ml Vanilla extract we used Dr. Oetker Madagascan Vanilla Extract
  • 100ml Milk
  • 150g Oats
  • 10g Baking powder
  • food colouring in red, blue, green and yellow we used Dr. Oetker food colouring gel

Method

  • Step 1

    Place all the ingredients in a blender and blitz together for 2 minutes until a smooth batter is formed.

  • Step 2

    Divide the batter between 4 bowls, add a few drops of a different food colour gel to each bowl and mix through until the colour is completely mixed into the batter, add a few more drops of colour to achieve a brighter colour. You should end up with 4 different coloured batters.

  • Step 3

    Place a frying pan brushed with a small amount of oil onto a medium heat. Allow the pan to heat up and pour half the red batter into one side of the pan and pour the remaining red batter into the other side – you will get 2 pancakes out of each coloured batter. If you only have a small pan, cook each pancake separately.

  • Step 4

    Allow the pancake to cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles begin to form on the surface and then flip over the cook the other side. Place your cooked pancake on a baking tray lined with grease-proof and place in the oven on a very low heat to keep warm whilst you cook the rest of the pancakes. Repeat the for each colour batter - you should end up with 8 pancakes.

  • Step 5

    Once all the pancakes are cooked you can stack them up to create a rainbow pancake tower! Drizzle your favourite toppings over the pancakes and enjoy!
