Sonia Kruger's easy low-calorie banana pancakes are the breakfast dessert you need
Today Extra star Sonia Kruger is the first to admit she's not, erm, all that confident in the kitchen. So when she went about designing a meal plan to complement her brand new dance-based fitness program, Strictly You, she called on the best.
"There's a dietitian who's come up with all of these meals — you know I'm not a great cook, right?" the TV host jokes, while cooking up her Strictly You Banana Oat Pancake recipe alongside co-host David Campbell.
Kruger co-developed the recipes to be healthy, delicious and, foremost, super quick to make — so every meal in the program takes less than 30 minutes to prepare.
Her healthy oat pancakes take just 10 minutes to throw together, and come with a host of additional health benefits.

"These are quite good because the oat is quite good for the digestive system — will get everything moving!"
And while the meal plan recipes tick all the tasty and healthy boxes, it's the program's holistic and personalised approach to nutrition that has the star excited.
"The good thing is, that this whole recipe is a total of about 372 calories, so it fits in with the program," she explains.
"You put in your height, your weight, what you goal weight — what you want it to be — and it will give you the recipes that match your calorie intake exactly."
The host kindly shared the drool-worthy breakfast recipe with 9Honey, along with a toppings tip.
"If you don't want to use bananas you can use strawberries, you can use blueberries — and just put a little dollop of the yoghurt on top of that." Heaven.
