    Pancakes with Caramelised Bananas & Homemade Nutella

    It's nearly Pancake Day and I've really been enjoying testing out new pancake recipe ideas in preparation, if you haven't already, check out my Oreo Pancakes with Raspberries & Creme Fraiche recipe. Today I bring you these Pancakes with Caramelised Bananas & Homemade Nutella. Nutella is amazing stuff, but it has been getting a bad rep recently due to the high sugar levels and the fact it contains palm oil. I can't say I'll never eat or bake with it again, but it's certainly made me more aware of what's in it. I was so impressed with how good this homemade 'nutella' tasted! I'll definitely make it again, and it tasted great with pancakes and caramelised bananas!

    For the full recipe with measurements, head to the recipe card at the end of this post.

    How to make Pancakes with Caramelised Bananas & Homemade Nutella

    To make the nutella style sauce blitz together hazelnuts, maple syrup, almond milk and cocoa powder until smooth. I used a NutriBullet to do this.

    To caramelise the bananas, put caster sugar in a frying pan and when it starts to melt, add sliced bananas. When the caramel goes golden, flip the banana slices over to cover both sides in the caramel, then turn off the heat while you make the pancakes. For the pancake batter, whisk together wholemeal plain flour, plain flour, eggs and almond milk. Put a little butter into a hot frying pan, then add the batter using a ladle to measure it out. Cook on both sides until golden brown.

    To serve the pancakes I folded them in half, added some of the caramelised bananas and dollops of the Nutella style sauce, then a big blob of creme fraiche (I used a half fat version) in the middle and then sprinkled over some chopped toasted hazelnuts to finish. The Pancakes with Caramelised Bananas & Homemade Nutella were absolutely delicious! The mix of sweet chocolate sauce, crunchy hazelnuts, caramel bananas and creamy creme fraiche was the perfect topping for these pancakes. We had this for breakfast on a weekend and it was quick and easy to make, with such a satisfying result! They would also make an amazing Pancake Day treat for the whole family!
