Equipment
- Blender
- Pan
- Wooden Skewers
Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries
- 3 eggs
- 1 2/3 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 cup milk
- banana slices
- strawberry slices
- melted white chocolate
- melted dark chocolate
- sprinkles
- freeze-dried strawberries
- graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 bunch fresh mint
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 3 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Combine the strawberries, eggs, flour, sugar, sunflower oil, and milk and puree with an immersion blender until smooth. Pour the pancake batter into a plastic bottle with a lid. Remove the lid from the bottle, heat the tip of a screwdriver, and use it to poke a hole through the middle of the lid. Once the lid has cooled completely, screw it back onto the bottle. Alternatively, you can pour the pancake batter into a ready-made squeeze bottle. Slightly grease a pan and heat it over medium heat. Use the squeeze bottle to portion out 10 mini pancakes on the pan and cook on both sides until slightly browned.
- Prepare 2 wooden skewers with mini strawberry pancakes, banana slices, and strawberry slices.
- Dip the first pancake skewer in melted dark chocolate and dip the other pancake skewer in melted white chocolate.
- Roll the chocolate-coated pancake skewers through sprinkles, graham cracker crumbs, and freeze-dried strawberries while the chocolate coating is still warm.
- Add the mint leaves, vegetable oil, slivered almonds, and sugar to a blender and blend until combined. Drizzle the mint pesto over the strawberry banana pancake skewers before serving.
