Just because we can’t go out for brunch, doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a stack of mouth-watering pancakes this weekend! Our recipe for Porridge Pancakes with Grilled Honey & Orange Figs is a guaranteed way to put a smile on your face! So follow the recipe below and whip up something tasty for breakfast this morning – after all, we deserve a treat! #FlahavansOats #IrelandsOatExperts #OatyPancakeStack

Serves 4 | Takes 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

50g Flahavan’s Oats
250 ml milk
OR 275g leftover porridge and a splash of milk
1 egg
50g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 black figs
Knob of butter
Juice and zest of half an orange
1 tbsp honey
Greek yoghurt

METHOD:

Place the Flahavan’s Oats in a small pan over a medium heat with 250ml milk and bring to the boil and reduce the temperature to a low heat and continue cooking for around 10-12 minutes until thick and creamy. Leave the porridge overnight covered with some clingfilm.

Whisk the overnight porridge together with a splash of milk and the egg until well combined. Alternatively, you can add the splash of milk and egg to any leftover porridge you may have.

Sift in the flour and baking powder to the porridge and whisk to combine.

Halve the figs and place cut side facing up on a baking tray. Drizzle with the honey and the orange zest and juice. Place under a hot grill and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the figs start to release their juices and collapse.

Melt a knob of butter in a non-stick frying pan and cook spoonfuls of the batter in batches until golden brown on each side. Repeat until all the batter is used up.

Serve the pancakes with the grilled figs and Greek yogurt

Rachel’s Quick Fruit Brulée

peach-brulee

Ingredients

(serves 4)
2 bananas, peeled and cut at an angle into 5mm (ªin) thick slices

4 nectarines or peaches, stones removed and flesh cut into wedges 5mm (ªin) thick

16 strawberries, hulled and quartered

100g (3ƒoz) caster sugar, plus an additional tablespoon of caster sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

4 tablespoons mascarpone or 
whipped cream

In a large bowl, toss the sliced 
bananas, the chopped nectarines or peaches, whichever you are using, 
and the quartered strawberries with 
one tablespoon of the caster sugar 
and the lemon juice. Divide between individual bowls, adding a few blobs of the mascarpone or whipped cream, whichever you’re using, to each one.

Next, make the caramel to go on top. Place the 100g (3ƒoz) caster sugar in a small to medium saucepan on a medium heat and stir. It will begin to look lumpy and sandy, but don’t worry – just keep stirring. Eventually, it will become viscous, turning from golden to a rich caramel colour. Altogether, this can take up to about 12 minutes.

Using a spoon, carefully drizzle all the caramel over the mascarpone or whipped cream, whichever you’re 
using, and over the fruit. Set aside for about five minutes, just to allow the caramel to cool and set hard, then serve.
