I always associate long weekends with a lie-in followed by brunch. Well, with a busy toddler in the house lie-ins have become a rarity but there’s no reason why brunch still can’t happen! When it’s my turn to get up these pancakes are great fun to cook with Freddie, while Mike dozes, Freddie and I get busy in the kitchen making Jamie Oliver’s fluffy pancakes.
What I really like about this recipe is that they are sugar free and you sweeten them with whatever flavouring you decide to put on top. We had blueberry and coconut flavoured pancakes and I served them with a mango and grape fruit salad and yoghurt (Mike also drizzled over copious amounts of maple syrup). Freddie ate 6! I think that is a pretty good endorsement of how good they are.
