Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
57g/2oz plain flour
2 large eggs
150g pot fat-free natural fromage frais
1 level tbsp caster sugar
142ml/¼pt skimmed milk
a few drops of vanilla essence

2. Meanwhile make the filling: roughly chop the bananas, mix with the yogurt and set aside.
3. Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan with Fry Light, place over a medium heat until hot. Add a small ladleful of batter, swirling to cover the base and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and set. Remove and stack between non-stick paper while making 7 more pancakes.
4. To serve, top each pancake with the banana mixture and fold. Place 2 pancakes onto each serving plate, dust with cocoa and decorate with mint and fat-free natural fromage frais if desired.
