Introduction

Banoffee pie pancakes combine the beloved flavors of banoffee pie into a fluffy, delicious breakfast treat. With caramel-like dulce de leche, ripe bananas, and a crunchy biscuit topping, these pancakes offer a perfect balance of sweet and indulgent.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
• 100g plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 80ml milk
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp sunflower oil
• 5 tbsp dulce de leche
• 2 bananas, sliced
• 1 digestive biscuit, crumbled
• Grated chocolate, to serve

Instructions

1. Step 1: Separate the eggs, placing the whites in one bowl and 2 of the yolks in another (reserve the third yolk for another use). Mix the yolks with the sugar, flour, baking powder, and milk until you have a smooth batter.
2. Step 2: Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric whisk or by hand until they become fluffy and hold their shape. Gently fold the whites into the yolk mixture without losing the airiness.
3. Step 3: Heat the butter and sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour a quarter of the batter into the pan for each pancake (or use half the batter for larger pancakes). Cook each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used, keeping the cooked pancakes covered to stay warm.
4. Step 4: Warm the dulce de leche gently in a small saucepan until it loosens.
5. Step 5: Serve the pancakes topped with sliced bananas, drizzled dulce de leche, crumbled digestive biscuit, and a sprinkle of grated chocolate.

Tips & Variations

• For extra fluffiness, make sure to fold the egg whites gently into the batter to retain air.
• You can substitute digestive biscuits with graham crackers or your favorite sweet biscuit for a different crunch.
• If dulce de leche is unavailable, caramel sauce or condensed milk can be a tasty alternative.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm spice note.

Storage

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a toaster or microwave before serving. Keep toppings like bananas and dulce de leche separate until ready to serve to maintain freshness.

FAQs

Can I make these pancakes dairy-free?

Yes, use a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk, and replace butter with a dairy-free alternative such as coconut oil or margarine.

What if I don’t have an electric whisk?

You can whisk the egg whites by hand using a balloon whisk, but it may take longer to reach stiff peaks. Be patient and use a clean, dry bowl for best results.
