Method

Step 1
Start by weighing out all ingredients for the pancake mix apart from the olive oil.
Step 2
Place ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk. That is your pancake batter complete. Set aside to rest.
Step 3
Make the chocolate syrup by mixing the golden syrup (2 tbsp) and cocoa (2 tsp) power together.
Step 4
Next, add a drizzle of olive oil to a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
To cook the pancakes ladle a small amount of pancake batter into the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side.
Step 6
Prepare the strawberries (500 g) by removing the stalks and cutting into quarters.
Step 7
Finally, serve by stacking the pancakes high on a plate with a small amount of chocolate syrup (2 tbsp) in-between each one. Top with the strawberries (500 g) and more chocolate syrup.

Questions people ask

How long does oat pancakes with chocolate syrup take?

About 12 min from start to finish, of which 10 min is prep and 2 min is cooking. That figure is worked out from the method rather than timed with a stopwatch, so give yourself a little more the first time.

How much does this make?

The original recipe did not state a yield, so nothing has been invented for it. The scale control on the recipe card multiplies the quantities instead, which is the honest version of the same thing.

Can I see the ingredients in ounces and pints?

Yes. The metric and imperial switch on the recipe card converts every quantity, rounded to amounts you can actually weigh or measure rather than to four decimal places. Your choice is remembered for every recipe on the site.

Is it vegetarian?

Yes, as written. If you are cooking for a strict vegetarian, the one to check is the cheese: several hard cheeses are made with animal rennet.
