PLANTAIN OATS PANCAKE

Most of the time I used to end up my ripe plantain making halwa or fritters or just roasted plantain ghee fry. Then currently, I started making plantain pancakes for my little one as its the best healthy delicious snack. The addition of oats and wheat flour makes the dish nutritious and perfect.  She prefer this delight soon after coming from school and wont forget to appreciate its taste ;) She simply loves it.


INGREDIENTS

1 Ripe Plantain.

1 Egg.

1/2 Cup Oats.

1/4 Cup Maida or Wheat flour.

1 Cup or a bit less Milk.(depends on thickness)

1/2 tsp of Soda powder.

Sugar as per needed.

Pinch of Salt.

Butter.

Pinch of Vanilla essence.

METHOD

Peel plantain, slice and drop them into the blender followed by the rest of the ingredients.

Bled for a min and transfer them into a bowl. Leave the mixture for about half an hour.

Heat 1 tsp of butter on a griddle. Once the butter is hot, pour the batter into pancakes shapes.

Cook until the top layer looks fairly dry with little bubbles on it. Flip and cook on other side.

Serve hot on plate with dollop of butter or honey :)

Enjoy!!
