01 With minimal preparatio­n, these pancakes will help you sideline sickness at breakfast by overhaulin­g your immunity before you’ve stepped out the front door. To start, craft the batter as per the previous recipes then set aside for later. 02 Sweat the apple quarters in a frying pan with the butter. The benefits of a daily apple are well known, but it’s maple syrup that’s the lesser-known hero here, providing a third of your manganese RDA, along with a sweet checklist of antioxidan­ts to boot. When the apples are softened, add the syrup and simmer for a further seven minutes. 03 Meanwhile, heat a greased frying pan and add 3tbsp. of batter per pancake. When they start looking good, add three halved blackberri­es to each before flipping for a bonus of illnessaba­ting vit C. Top with the apples and a spoonful of yoghurt to swat that office bug into oblivion.
