Banana raspberry pikelets are a delicious and healthy treat that combine the natural sweetness of bananas and the tartness of raspberries. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, these mini pancakes are easy to whip up and sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bananas:
- Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Set them aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg.
- Add the milk to the beaten egg and stir to combine.
4. Create the Batter:
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients mixture into the well.
- Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Incorporate Bananas:
- Carefully fold in the banana slices into the batter, ensuring they are evenly dispersed.
6. Prepare the Pan:
- Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan or griddle with cooking spray oil.
- Heat the pan over medium heat.
7. Cook the Pikelets:
- For each pikelet, pour a small ladle (about 2 tablespoons) of batter onto the pan. You can cook multiple pikelets at a time, depending on the size of your pan.
- Scatter a few raspberries over each pikelet while they are cooking.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
- Flip the pikelets and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Serve:
- Transfer the pikelets to a plate and keep warm under a clean tea towel or in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the banana raspberry pikelets warm, with additional fresh raspberries if desired.

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas to ensure they mash easily and add natural sweetness to the pikelets.

- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.

- Gently fold the raspberries into the batter to avoid them breaking apart too much.

- Cook the pikelets on medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning on the outside.

- Use a non-stick pan or a light spray of cooking oil to prevent the pikelets from sticking.

- Serve immediately for the best texture, but you can also store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Enjoy your banana raspberry pikelets warm, topped with a drizzle of honey or a scoop of your favorite yogurt. These delightful treats are not only tasty but also a great way to incorporate fresh fruit into your diet. Happy cooking!
