Biscoff and Banana Pancakes

Do you deserve a treat this weekend? Well these decadent pancakes are here for you! Biscoff is a relatively new discovery for me and to be honest I could probably have done without knowing of its existence - the amazing spiced spread reminds me of the cookies my nanna used to dole out when we were little, and it has a small truckload of sugar in it, but damn it's delicious! These pancakes serve up a double dose of it and are without doubt a 'sometimes food' - but if you've had a hard week and it's a rainy Saturday morning and your team lost the footy last night, I say treat yo'self! Also, they are topped with bananas so that's healthy, right? ;)

Makes 6 pancakes

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1/4 cup Biscoff spread

1 egg

1 tbsp caster sugar

2 tbsp melted butter

3/4 cup milk

3/4 cup plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

Extra butter, for cooking

To top:

1 large banana, peeled and sliced

1/4 cup Biscoff spread, melted in short bursts in the microwave

Method

1. Combine the flour and baking powder in a large bowl and make a well.

2. Whisk the Biscoff spread, the egg, milk and melted butter together in a bowl or jug. Pour into the well in the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined.

3. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt until just beginning to bubble. Use a 1/4 cup measure or ladle to add the pancake batter to the pan. I usually cook 2 pancakes at a time, keeping them warm in the oven in between. Repeat until you have 6 medium sized pancakes.

4. Melt your additional Biscoff in short bursts in the microwave until it has a pourable consistency. Top your pancakes with bananas and pour over the Biscoff spread. Devour them on the couch and don't even think about the calories!
