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!
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
