Here's How Jamie Oliver Turns A Healthy Smoothie Into Pancakes

So he came to the BuzzFeed Test Kitchen to show us how to turn a healthy smoothie into even healthier pancakes!

"The idea is to take something that already has so much goodness (a smoothie) but isn't exactly balanced, add what's missing, and all of a sudden it's a perfect breakfast," Oliver says.

And here's exactly what to do:

Smoothie Pancakes with Berries, Banana, Yogurt, and Nuts

Makes 4 servings

Recipe by Jamie Oliver, from Everyday Super Food

INGREDIENTS

11 ounces (about 1½ cups) blueberries

1 large, ripe banana

¾ cup 2% milk

1 large egg

1¾ cup whole-wheat flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Extra-virgin olive oil, to coat the pan

Optional, to garnish:

¼ cup plain yogurt

Ground cinnamon

1 ounce chopped raw, unsalted pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts

Manuka honey (an extra-nutritious raw honey; buy it here)

PREPARATION

Blitz half the blueberries, peeled banana, milk, egg, and flour in a blender to make a smoothie pancake batter. Tip into a bowl and fold in the remaining berries. Place a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour in a little bit of olive oil, then use a paper towel to wipe it around the pan and absorb the excess. Once hot, put your batter into the pan to make large pancakes or little ones, whichever you fancy. Either way, cook for a couple of minutes on each side, or until crisp and golden. Sometimes I flip them for an additional 30 seconds on each brown side to ensure they get super crispy. Serve as and when they're ready, while you get on with more.

To serve, I like to slice my pancakes in half so you can see all that lovely fruit. Top with a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkling of cinnamon, and a scattering of toasted nuts, then finish with a little drizzle of honey.
