  This was a recipe that our cousin Mairi sent us!  We adapted it slightly - Thank you Mairi :)  Recipe for 4 portions 1 cup oats 2 bananas 2 eggs 1 or 2 tablespoons of maple syrup (recipe said 2 we used 1)  2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon of sea salt (optional) Fruit of choice - we used a punnet of raspberries and 2 chopped up apples the first time we made it - used blueberries the next time.  We served with natural yoghurt on the side/ over the top.  Willa: 10/10 it was yummy I liked the raspberries. Anthony:10/10  'This was tasty and really easy to make' Alison: 10/10 'This is an easy, healthy, delicious breakfast or desert. Would totally recommend.'  Nina: 9/10 'I liked it but not really the hot blueberries, I would like to leave them out next time.'
