Shrove Tuesday

There are loads of great recipes on pinterest. I have pinned a wholemeal version as i am trying to eat clean at the minute. I found this that I am going to try out with berries, greek yog and honey : http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2013/11/04/whole-wheat-oatmeal-pancakes/

2 eggs, 1 banana.

Take ingredients and blend in a food processor/blender/smoothie maker or mix together until the mixture is fully binded, if not mixed properly they come out like banana omelette basically.

Add to a frying pan on medium heat, spray with low cal oil or whatever oil you prefer, sometimes I use butter sometime I use a healthier option.

20 seconds each side then flip. Mixture makes around 6 "American style" pancakes (I'm from the UK so to me American style is the small, fat pancakes you see on the movies haha!)

I usually add some cacao for taste, some dark choc chips, some fruit and Greek yogurt or some a thin spread of nutella depending on which one I'm in the mood for. These pancakes taste amazing!

There is a slimming world recipe where you only use an egg white & sweetener to make a pancake and tbh there rather nice the sweetener takes away the egg flavour & at only 14 calories you can add your favourite toppings

I'm not exactly sure what you consider to be high in fat or sugar, but for what it's worth, I make a pancake recipe with rolled oats that works out to about 260 calories for 2 pancakes, 9 g protein,10g fat, 4g fiber, 13g sugar. I'm sure you could reduce that by using non-whole milk and subbing some other sweetener for the brown sugar. The pancakes are smallish because I like to be able to fit them in my toaster.

The quantities I use are just guidelines, and it depends on how thick or fluffy I like my pancakes. If I want a thinner, more crepe-like pancake, I increase the milk. Soak ~215g oats (just over 2 C) in ~655g whole milk (~3c) for at least 6-8 hours or overnight.

Add 50g oil (~3.5 Tbsp), 2 eggs, 75g brown sugar (~1/3c depending on how you pack it),1/4 tsp salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc, to taste. Mix in 120g (1 c) flour (last time I used King Arthur Whole Wheat), 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp baking powder. Mix until combined but do not overbeat.

I pretty much always add around 200g of sliced apples, or some bananas or blueberries or other fruit to the batter before cooking.

I enjoy eating these plain, but they're also good with powdered sugar, jam, syrup, what have you.

ETA: the quantities above give me around 20 small pancakes. I also usually let the batter rest a bit before cooking the pancakes.

I pretty much use this

It's delicious and with low fat milk, maybe 110 calories a crepe and totally worth it.

I had savoury pancakes for dinner tonight, topped with spinach, mushrooms, blue cheese and just a dash of cream. My basic recipe is 40g flour, 125ml milk and one egg. Makes about two large (crepe style) pancakes. I use fry light to grease the pan, usually don't even need a spatula when using that stuff, just rolls right off the pan when you come to flipping it.
