Servings: 2

Ingredients:

For the rhubarb:

140 g Rhubarb

1 tbsp Golden caster sugar

1 tsp Vanilla extract

For the batter:

150 g Self raising flour

20 g Rolled oats

1 tsp Chia seed

1 tsp Baking powder

190 ml Oat milk

15 ml Olive oil

1 tbsp Maple syrup

1 tsp Vanilla paste

40 g Rhubarb

For cooking:

Olive oil (or coconut oil)

For serving:

Maple syrup

Recipe:

Preheat the oven to 180 C/160 fan/4 gas mark. Cut 140 g of rhubarb into 8 cm lengths, and 40 g of rhubarb into small pieces.
Lay the long rhubarb pieces flat in a small baking dish. Sprinkle the caster sugar over the rhubarb and add the vanilla extract. Bake for 12 minutes, until just tender and the sugar has caramelised on top.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, chia seeds and baking powder.
Make a well in the centre and add all the oat milk, olive oil, maple syrup and vanilla paste. Whisk to form a smooth thick batter.
Add the small chopped rhubarb pieces into the batter. Mix until combined.
Warm a teaspoon of oil in a pan over a medium heat. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of pancake batter into the pan. Cook on one side for 3 minutes until golden.
Turn and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes, until puffed and golden. Repeat until the pancake mixture is finished (about 6 pancakes).
Serve the pancakes with the baked rhubarb and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
