There’s nothing quite a nurturing as a warm fluffy pancake. Just because you’re on this healthy eating plan doesn’t mean you should miss out on that joy! This protein pancake recipe is based on an old French recipe for oat bran pancakes, just with my little twist.
So here’s my take on a healthy protein pancake, that’s packed with fibre to keep you fuller, longer and that will also clean out your system and get you going. It’s not quite a fluffy and light as a regular pancake, and if you’re using Stevia the flavour make take a little getting used to, but this recipe if so much better for you than any regular pancake or batter mix you buy in stores. It’s also wheat free if you use Organic Gluten Free oats and vitamise them yourself into an oat bran consistency.
It’s so easy to make and best topped with a little fruit like fresh berries, fat free yoghurt or my version of vanilla cream (see recipe below).
Ingredients:
24g (2 tablespoons) oat bran
40g Extra Light Philadelphia
40g Jalna Natural Fat Free yoghurt
2 egg whites
1-2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 tablespoon Splenda (or equivalent of Stevia)
Method
1. Pre-heat a small non-stick frying pan and then turn the heat down to low
2. Whisk ingredients together in a bowl until well combined into a very thick batter
3. Pour the batter into the pan and rotate until there’s an even coating, but keep it thick
4. Cook the protein pancake for 5 minutes or until it comes away from the frying pan. It should be golden brown but not burnt.
5. Turn it over gently and cook the other side.
6. Serve the protein pancake with a little fruit, fat free yoghurt or vanilla cream
