Oat pancakes and fresh fruit syrup

There is just something about a bank holiday Monday that makes you want to relax and really enjoy a day off, not that bank holidays are any different than Sundays, but think it is just the fact that is a Monday where you should have been at work.

I started my bank holiday Monday with oat pancakes and fresh fruit syrup.


1 cup/2 dl porridge (fine) oats
1½cup/3 dl lactofree milk (use a dairy substitute, like oat, rice or soy milk, for a dairy free version)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon oil (flavourless like light olive oil)
½ cup/1 dl plain white flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

Fresh diced pineapple (or any other preferred fruit).
Maple syrup
dairy free margarine or oil

Mix oats and milk together and let it stand for 10 minutes.
Mix the eggs in the bowl with the oats and milk.
Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl and ad it gradually to the wet ingredients.
Let it stand for 10-15 minutes.
Stir, and ad small batches to a blini pan or a normal pan, letting them bake 1-2 minutes until the edges starts to firm and bobbles appear, turn and bake for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Roast the diced pineapple for a few minutes in a bit of margarine or oil, then ad a splash of Maple syrup, and let the pineapple pieces caramelize.
Serve the pineapple on the pancakes, and drizzle on some more Maple syrup.
