OAT PANCAKES WITH RASPBERRIES AND HONEY
If you promise pancakes to an 8-year-old, these are decidedly not the pancakes they will have in mind, though this doesn't mean they aren't for the rest of us. Think of them rather like the oatcakes you might have with cheese, only in pancake form; as with regular fluffy pancakes, however, it is what you eat with them that creates the magic. Here, I've made a honey and raspberry syrup, and the mixture of the soft, oaty cakes, the honey and the raspberries has a decidedly Scottish flavor. This leads me to think this could be good with a wee nip of whisky somewhere in the mix and, in deference to the great Hibernian dessert, Cranachan, a dollop of whipped cream. The lack of flour means that they are gluten-free (though because of cross-contamination where they are made, you should look for porridge oats that say as much on the packet, if this is crucial). And while you can use regular full-fat milk, I much prefer oat milk, which richly enhances their flavor, as well as making them dairy-free for those for whom that is a concern. Though in which case, banish all thought of the whipped cream now.

Steps:
- Warm the honey and raspberries in a small saucepan over a medium heat, stirring frequently, until the raspberries have thawed. This shouldn't take more than 3 minutes or so. Take the pan off the heat.
- Put the oats and salt in a blender or a food processor with the small bowl fitted, and process until you get the consistency of flour, a mealy flour to be sure, but it should still be fine-ground.
- Tip into a bowl and stir in the baking powder and cinnamon.
- In a measuring jug, whisk together the milk, egg and vanilla, and then stir the wet mixture into the dry, until thoroughly combined. If the batter thickens too much, add more milk. And do not let this batter rest, as otherwise it will thicken too much.
- Pour 1/2 a teaspoon of oil onto a smooth, non-stick griddle (or large cast-iron or heavy-based frying pan) and, with a piece of paper towel, smear it over the whole surface. Put the griddle on a medium heat and, when hot, add the batter, using a quarter-cup measure but only filling it two-thirds full. You should get 4 pancakes at a time, and they will need around 2 minutes a side. Generally, when cooking pancakes, you turn them over when you see bubbles coming to the uppermost side, and while that still holds true, the bubbles are rather understated here. So slip a spatula underneath a pancake after 2 minutes to see if the underside looks cooked, and then when it is, flip it, and the rest of the pancakes, over and cook for another 2 minutes. As always, do not press down on the pancakes as they cook, and do not flip them more than once. When you've cooked the first 4, pile them on a plate, and cover with a clean tea towel, then oil the pan again and proceed as before.
- Serve immediately--the oats carry on drinking up liquid, and the pancakes will dry on standing--with the warm raspberry honey poured on top.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pancakes will be.
- Mash the bananas well. This will help to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the pancakes immediately. Pancakes are best when served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
These oat pancakes are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with fiber and protein, and they are also naturally sweetened with honey. The raspberries and honey add a delicious burst of sweetness and flavor. These pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
