Blueberry pancakes
I love pancakes, but hadn't tried making any healthy versions since I've started eating well. I experimented a bit this morning with blending together a few different recipes and ended up with really yummy, thick (but fluffy), healthy pancakes. This recipe made 4 medium pancakes that were very satisfying for me. It was improvised so feel free to play around with the amounts and substitute other flavours of yogurt etc
Pancakes- Serves 1
75g greek yogurt (I used fat free)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt
Dash of milk (probably about 2 tablespoons)
Sweetener (optional- I used about 1.5 teaspoons of splenda just because I have a sweet tooth)
1 egg white
Combine all the ingredients except the egg white. The batter will be very thick, almost the consistency of a thick frosting. Whip the egg white until it forms soft peaks but it should NOT be dry. Fold in the egg white. Cook over medium-high heat until golden on one side and then flip. Serve with blueberry syrup (listed below)
Blueberry sauce
60g frozen or fresh blueberries (that's roughly 3/4 cups but you can judge it by eye)
Zest and juice of half a small lemon
Sweetener to taste
Shake of cinnamon
Combine all the ingredients over a medium heat for about 5 minutes or the berries begin to burst. A sort of syrup should start to form.
