1/4 cup of fine oats
1 cup of frozen berries
400ml milk
Optional extras:
1/4 avocado
Small spoon of honey
Substitute weetbix for oats
Method
- Place banana, oats and berries in blender
- Add milk
- Blend until smooth
- Pour into a glass and serve
Crepes
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Pinch salt
Neutral oil, for cooking
Method
- Make the batter. Place the flour, milk, eggs, butter, salt, sugar, and vanilla if using in a blender. Blend until the batter is smooth, about 20 seconds. Alternatively, whisk everything together in a bowl until thoroughly combined and frothy.
- Prepare to cook the crepes. Before cooking the crepes, assemble everything you'll need by the stovetop: the batter, the pan, the oil, the spatula. If your bowl doesn't have a pour spout, have a ladle or 1/4-cup measuring cup handy.
- Cook the crepes. Place a 10-inch nonstick pan or 8-inch crepe pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Let it sit for a minute to get hot. Pour in about 1/4 cup of batter. Immediately pick up the pan and swirl it to coax the batter into an even layer on the bottom of the pan.
- Flip the crepe. When the crepe has browned slightly on the bottom, carefully work a spatula underneath it and flip. Cook the second side briefly, just to set the batter.
- Cool the crepe. Tilt the pan and loosen the crepe, then slide it onto a wire rack.
- Continue making crepes. Continue making crepes with the rest of the batter, adding more oil as needed to keep the crepes from sticking.
- Stack and store. If not eating the crepes immediately, stack them one on top of the other as they cool. If they seem sticky, place a square of plastic wrap or parchment paper between them.
