Savoury green easy pea-sy oat pancakes
A super nutritious green pancake recipe made from a few staple ingredients. Makes about 10 mini pancakes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oats or oat bran
- 1 large free range egg
- 1 cup frozen green peas no need to thaw
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup plain yoghurt
- handful of spinach this is mostly just for color, the pancakes work perfectly without it
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients in a powerful blender (e.g. Nutribullet) and blend until completely smooth.
- Heat a non-stick pan on medium, spray with non-stick spray, then fry the pancakes. Use about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. You can make these into 'crumpets' (small thicker pancakes) or make them bigger and flatter if you want to roll them up. I find that small pancakes are easier to manage.
- Flip the pancakes over when bubbles start to form on the surface, cook for another 10 seconds, then repeat with the rest of the batter.
- Top or fill with your favourite fillers! Cottage cheese, avo, hummus...
