• 1 ½ Tbsp Butter for cooking peach + 1 tbsp for cooking pancakes
• 60 grams Nutella (15 g per portion)

Method:

• Cut the peaches in half and core them. Evenly toss them in sugar and grill until soft and cooked through. Thinly slice them.

Nutella French toast:

Serving: – 8 (1 per person)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup skimmed milk
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground flaxseeds
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 8 slices thick sliced bread
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil for cooking (for 8 slices)

Method:

• 120gm Nutella (15g per slice)
• ¼ cup fresh fruit (Strawberries or blueberries or raspberry or red current etc.)
• In a shallow wide bowl, whisk together the milk, cornstarch, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, and vanilla.
• Add butter to a pan over medium-high heat and melt. Whisk the batter again right before dipping bread, as the cornstarch will settle to the bottom of the bowl.
• Dip each side of the bread in the batter and let soak for about 10 seconds, then add the bread to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Add more butter to the pan as needed in between pieces of bread.
