1/2 tsp Baking powder (0.25 syns)
1/2 tsp Salt (f)
1/4 tsp Stevia sweetner (equv. to 1tsp sugar) (f)
35g oats (hexB or 6 syns)
1/8 tsp Xanthan gum (f)
2 eggs (f)
3 tbsp Quark (f)
5 tbsp Fat-free yoghurt (f)
Topping
Muller light vanilla yoghurt or
Fat free yoghurt
Fresh fruit
Place dry ingredients into blender and give it a good whizz. May need to tip or move the belnder to get all the oats blended.
*warning* I used 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum and it was too much - almost went solid. Had to add a cup of water to get it liquid again.
too thick |
Mix all the wet ingredients in a small bowl, then thoroughly mix the dry ingredients in. it should form a gloopy porridge-like mixture. Mine was a bit too stiff due to too much xanthan gum.
Put in the fridge for an hour (or overnight) to allow the baking powder to form lots of tiny bubbles, which help form the airy structure for pancakes.
too thick to cook properly |
(my first attempt the mixture was too thick and bubbles were unable to form properly. I added another egg and the mixture became a lot softer)
This is a better consistency. Liquid enough to self-round, and after a couple of minutes cooking, bubbles form on the top. Ready to flip over...
Well, two out of three ain't bad. They are quite fragile, but light and definite pancake texture.
Final result : added a Muller light vanilla and a large handful of fresh raspberries.
One portion of oats (35g) for a healthy extra B made 12 pancakes! (3 missing due to experimental failures).
Definitely a recipe for a lazy sunday brunch :)
Initial tasting - a bit eggy, but definite pancake structure. However, by half-way through was really enjoying them and had forgotten it was a SW meal!
I think I will be repeating this experiment to find the perfect balance of ingredients. I'll update the recipe as I refine it.
Total : 6 syns OR healthy extra B

"Just
made some really nice pancakes for breakfast using 35g oats as heb, 70g
fat free cottage cheese, 2 eggs and bit cinnamon. Mix altogether and
fry in fry light. I had berries and a tbsp maple syrup for 2 syns with
mine. Tasted like a real treat! Will post a photo x"
Great idea to add some cinnamon next time.
