Step 1

Preheat the grill to high and place a shelf at the top of the oven. For the pancakes, in a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt. In a jug, whisk the milk and eggs, then Dour into the dry ingredients and whisk to make a smooth batter.

Step 2

For the bananas, line a baking tray with foil. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and spread over a plate. Turn the bananas in the mixture and arrange, cut-side up, on the prepared tray. Grill for 4-5 minutes until golden and caramelised. Cover with foil and keep warm at the bottom of the oven, with the grill turned off.

Step 3

Meanwhile, put all the peanut butter cream ingredients in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt. Use a balloon whisk to whisk to very soft peaks; set aside.

Step 4

To cook the pancakes, heat a large frying pan over a medium- high heat. Add a splash of oil and a small knob of butter then, when hot, add heaped spoonfuls of the batter. Cook for 2-3 minutes until there are lots of bubbles on top, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat until the batter is used up (about 8 pancakes in total), keeping them warm alongside the bananas as you go. Serve with the peanut butter cream, drizzle with any pan juices and top with the chopped nuts.
