After the success of my Pre & Post Workout pancakes (https://nutrition4fighters.co/2024/08/01/pre-or-post-workout-pancakes/), I thought I’d share a modified recipe that’s absolutely perfect for breakfast. These pancakes will set you up nicely for the day ahead 👌.
Instead of using basic flour, which is more refined and as such offers less fibre, this recipe uses oats. Oats are a great breakfast option and the added fibre will serve to help you feel fuller for longer and be more favourable towards blood sugar spikes.
The pancakes are also a great source of lean protein. As well as the eggs, their standout ingredient is quark, a Scandinavian yogurt alternative which is actually classified as a cheese!
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs 🥚
- 100g fat free Quark 🐮
- 3 x tbsp of skimmed milk🥛
- 20g of oats 🥣
- 1/4 tsp baking powder ⚪️
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Method
- Add oats 🥣 to a blender, (blend to preference – rough or fine), then remove and put aside
- Combine eggs🥚, quark🧀, milk🥛 and vanilla extract 🍨 together in a blender.
- Add oats 🥣,baking powder ⚪️ and blend thoroughly.
- Place a palm✋🏿size into a non stick frying pan 🍳 on a medium heat 🌡️.
- Wait for bubbles 🫧 to start coming through and flip it over for another couple of minutes ⏲️.
- Serve with fresh fruit 🍓🍒🫐👌
