These pancakes use the traditional pancake recipe but I've replaced flour with blitzed oats and added some vanilla extract to sweeten them a bit. Using oats can make them a bit trickier to cook so I'd suggest using your daily oil allowance for this.
No Count: Free
If you are following WW Freestyle, you'd be better replacing the oats with plain flour and using Frylight. The points would then be:
WW Freestyle: 4sp per serving
(The photo shows one serving.)
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 100g oats
- 3 eggs
- 300ml skimmed milk
- pinch of salt
- a tsp vanilla extract
Method:
- Blitz the oats in a food processor.
- Whisk the eggs and milk together and pour into the oats; add the salt.
- Whisk all the mixture together.
- Heat oil/Frylight in a frying pan and pour in a quarter of the mixture.
- Turn once while cooking. (I find it easier to cut the pancake into quarters before turning each one over separately - if using oats.)
- It's best to stir the mixture before pouring out for another pancake.
Served here with fresh fruit, low fat natural yogurt and a drizzle of sugar-free syrup. (If following WW Freestyle, use fat-free natural yogurt for 0sp.)
Enjoy!
What would I put in these to make them sweet pancakes? Thanks
Hi Susan, if you squirt lemon juice on them and sprinkle over a 0sp sweetener, they’ll be sweet. You could add sweetener to the mixture too if you wanted. Helen xxxx
I’ve had to comment as I’ve just made these, and they tasted just like the real thing! Amazing! Can’t wait to try your other recipes!
Awww thank you Carmel:-) Hope you enjoy the other recipes you try, Helen xxxxx
Hi Nikki could you use just 2 eggs ?
Hi Jan, if you only have two eggs, just use 70g oats and 200ml skimmed milk. Hope you enjoy them, Helen xxx
Could you readybrex instead of oats please
Hi Margaret, you could try but I couldn’t guarantee that it would work the same. Please let me know how you get on if you decide to give it a go. Good luck! Helen xxxxx
They turned out ok. I will have another try with oats to see the difference will let you know …
Hi Margaret, glad they turned out OK – I might give that a go myself:-) I’d like to know what the difference is please. Hope you have a lovely weekend:-) Helen xxx
Tried pancakes this morning loved them with jam and yogurt but am I suppose to make that amount for one person,. I cut the ingredients down but still too much had to leave some I was full.
Hi Margaret, the mixture should make 4 or 5 pancakes which could serve between 2 and 4 people. You can make them and re-heat them the next day if there are too many. Glad you enjoyed them! Helen xxxxx
When you blitz the oats, what kind of consistency do they need to be to use in the dessert recipes?
Hi Amanda, I blitz the oats for about 2 minutes in the food processor. They become quite small pieces, but don’t blitz well enough to make a flour. I hope this helps, Helen xxx
Just made these for my breakfast as am trying a no count day properly for the first time. They are amazing! I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract as I have a very sweet tooth and they are honestly better than any pancakes I ever made on pancake day. I will be having some for dessert later too.
Hi Nikki, I’m really glad you enjoyed the pancakes and hope you had fun trying to make them too. What a great start to your No Count day – I hope you enjoy your other meals just as much:-) Helen xxx
