Topping

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8-inch square baking pan and set aside.
2. In a small bowl mix together the quick cooking oats, baking powder, sea salt and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl mix mashed banana and peanut butter together until combined.

5. Add milk and stir until combined.
6. Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients and combine thoroughly.
7. Pour the mixture into the lightly greased baking pan.
8. While mixture bakes combine frozen mixed berries and juice from orange in a saucepan (our favorite Le Creuset saucepan has a lid that doubles as a skillet!)
9. Bring mixture to a boil.
10. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened.

Light and Fluffy Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
• 2 tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp white sugar
• 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp milk
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• canola oil (or any other vegetable oil), for cooking

Directions

1. Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder into a bowl and mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter together. Be careful not to use hot, melted butter, as that may end up cooking your eggs!
3. Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until mostly incorporated. The batter should be thick and a little lumpy. Set the batter aside for 5-10 minutes.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over a low-medium heat and coat it with oil (We absolutely love using our copper non-stick electric skillet!). Use a 1/4 cup measure to scoop and drop the batter into the pan so that you get evenly-sized pancakes (this is my girls’ favorite part!).
5. Cook until the first side is golden brown, or until the top surface forms bubbles. Flip and repeat on the other side. Adjust heat accordingly. Serve while still hot.
