Healthiest Pancakes EVER!


So my husband loves the sweet stuff and we are all fans of big breakfasts so I've created this recipe simply so that he can enjoy nice pancakes for breakfast without the stress that they are super unhealthy. Look, this recipe ain't for the super duper calorie concious, but it sure as hell is much healthier than having the regular pancakes!

This recipe is also ideal for people with kids who love to have a good breakfast but don't want their kids to be eating super unhealthy

Ingredients

1/2 cup wheat flour (the regular atta that we use for making chapatis)

1/2 cup oats (the ones that you make porridge with - Quaker or any other brand you prefer)

1/4 cup yoghurt

3/4 cup water

2 tbsp olive oil

1 egg

3 tbsp sugar (you can put according to your taste)

Method

1. Whiz all this in a blender till smooth you can add more water or milk depending on how thick you want your pancakes to be - the thinner the batter, the thinner the pancakes will be. This is entirely up to your personal tastes. but just a reminder, when you have thick pancakes, make sure that you cook them through on a low flame without burning the outside

2. So. Take a pan the size that you want your pancake to be and heat it. if you have one of those oil sprays this is ideal for it as it coats the pan and yet leaves no excess oil

3. Take the pan in one hand and a soup ladle with the pancake batter in the other hand.

4. Slowly pour the pancake batter onto the pan and swirl the pan gently so that all areas of the pan are evenly covered with the batter

5. Cook on one side for around 30 seconds, then flip and turn to cook the other side till done

6. Serve hot with butter and honey, jams or any other topping that you prefer
