Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. In a large non-stick frying pan, add the butter and melt over a low heat. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. Roughly chop the strawberries, pistachios and roasted hazelnuts.
Separate the bacon slices and place on a lined oven tray. Bake until golden, 8-12 minutes. On a second lined oven tray, combine the pistachios, roasted hazelnuts and shredded coconut. Bake until golden, 4-6 minutes. TIP: Keep the crumb mixture centred on the oven tray to stop it cooking too fast.
While the crumb is baking, heat a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add the strawberries, raspberries and sugar. Cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
While the compote is cooking, combine the melted butter, eggs, milk and 1/2 the Greek-style yoghurt in a large bowl. Lightly whisk to combine. Add the dry pancake mix and whisk until just combined. TIP: Don't worry if the batter is thick, it makes for fluffy pancakes!
Return the frying pan to a medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the pancake batter (1/3 cup per pancake) and cook until golden and cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side. TIP: If you don't have a non-stick pan, use butter to grease the pan! TIP: Save time and cook your pancakes on two frying pans if possible.
Divide the pancakes between plates. Top with the berry compote, a spoon of the remaining yoghurt and nut crumb. Drizzle over the maple-flavoured syrup. Serve with bacon.
