1 punnet strawberries
1⁄8 cup water
1 cinnamon stick or 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Strawberry compote
- Wash and hull strawberries and cut in half.
- Place in a small saucepan with water and cinnamon and bring to the boil.
- Reduce to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes until strawberries have thickened.
- Leave to cool, remove cinnamon stick and then stir in sweetener spoon by spoon, tasting to your liking.
Pancakes
- In a small bowl mix almond meal, eggs, milk, vanilla and sweetener.
- Heat up a small non-stick fry pan and add a knob of butter. Ladle some pancake mixture in and cook over medium heat until edges are cooked through (3-5 minutes) and air bubbles appear. Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side for another couple of minutes.
- Repeat with rest of the mixture.
