Chocolate Banana Oatcakes

Have I already posted two other recipes today? Yes. But that's because I create multiple new recipes over a week or two and its easier to just post in bulk. Saying this I will be returning to college soon and this will probably change how much time I can spend on cooking.

Chocolate Banana Oatcakes

Now when I say chocolate Banana, I mean chocolate banana. I added an extra banana for layering, two different yogurt fillings and a raw chocolate sauce. As well as topping with walnuts and cacao nibs.

Ingredients:

Oatcakes:

1/2 Cup/45g and 1 tbsp Rolled Oats
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
2 Tbsp Cocoa powder
1/2 Cup/120ml milk of choice
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Banana, ripe to over ripe

Raw Chocolate sauce:

1-2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tsp Maple syrup
2-3 tbsp milk of choice

Maple/Chocolate greek yogurt:

1/2 Cup/100g serving greek yogurt, or yogurt of choice
1 tsp Maple syrup
1/2-1 tbsp Cocoa powder

Instructions:

1. Blend Oats, baking powder and cocoa powder to a fine flour, saving the tbsp for adding later.
2. Blend in the banana, vanilla and half the milk at first. Add the rest tablespoon at a time till you get the right consistency. It should be thick like paint. Add in the oats and mix in.
3. Heat a pan or griddle over a meduim heat. Once its ready spray with non stick spray.
4. Spoon batter into the pan and smooth into rounds, 1/4 measures or a heaped TBSP is the right size. When bubbles form on the surface and the edges of are set enough to get a spatula underneath flip them over and cook for another minute on the other side. Repeat till on the batter has been used up.
5. Serve layered with toppings of choice.

Raw chocolate sauce: 

Beat all the ingredients together starting with 1 tbsp each of cocoa and milk, add more cocoa to taste and milk to the consistency.

Maple/Chocolate yogurt: 

Whip up all but the cocoa, half into two bowls and add the cocoa to one to taste.

 Variations:

You can easily use the same pancake batter to make other chocolate oatcake combos; chocolate strawberry, peanut butter, banana peanut butter, coconut etc. I have already tried the first three and plan on having coconut tomorrow. Chocolate goes with so much, experiment.
