Banana, Raisin & Oatmeal Hotcakes

Ingredients

Serves: 3-4

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup plain flour
¼ cup CSR Brown Sugar, firmly packed
2 tsps baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
¾ cup plain natural yoghurt
¾ cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup raisins
50g butter, melted
Oil and a little extra melted butter for cooking
CSR Golden Syrup Squeeze, for serving

Method

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and run machine until the mixture is blended and just smooth. Don’t over process and chop all the raisins up. Pour into a jug.

2. Heat a non-stick frypan over medium heat. Brush the surface with a mixture of oil and melted butter and cook hotcakes, 2 or 3 at a time, until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottoms are golden brown.

3. Turnover and cook for 2 mins on the other side. Serve in a stack with a golden syrup poured over the top.

Brown Sugar

Ingredients: cane sugar, sugar syrups

This popular sugar is used in many recipes, both savoury and sweet. A concentration of natural syrups gives it a soft natural caramel colour and aroma. Thanks to its delicious smooth caramel taste, it is often used in dessert recipes and sprinkled on porridge. CSR Brown Sugar is also ideal for adding sweetness to savoury dishes such as stir frys and sauces.

Golden Syrup Squeeze

Ingredients: cane sugar, water

CSR Golden Syrup Squeeze is lighter in colour and taste than CSR Original Golden Syrup.

Its subtle caramel taste makes it perfect as a spread or topping. Squeeze it on toast, cereal or bananas for a great tasting breakfast, for lunch on freshly baked bread or in milkshakes and after dinner on desserts - ice cream and waffles.

With its no-mess, non-drip bottle, CSR Golden Syrup Squeeze is ideal for kids to serve themselves. The bottle can also be stored upside down when contents are low, with no mess.
