Wholegrain berry pancakes

I love pancakes as much as anyone, but smothered in maple syrup and ice cream and made with white flour and plenty of butter they aren't such a healthy choice. But pancakes can be healthy! Make them with wholemeal flour and skim milk, add plenty of fruit and top with reduced fat, low sugar natural yoghurt and extra seeds, my version makes a healthy and filling breakfast sure to keep you going. (They make a great snack in pikelet form too!)

1. Combine flour, milk, egg and chia seeds in a bowl until just combined.

3. Immediately press berries onto the surface of the pancake.

4. When the pancake starts to bubble and holes appear, flip.

This recipe is also great as pikelets! Have them plain,
topped with yoghurt and extra fruit like the pancakes
or reduced fat ricotta and a drizzle of honey.
