Ingredient Notes and Substitutes

Maple syrup: This can be subbed for a spoonful of honey or sugar, or it can be left out entirely. If you are making this recipe for a child under one year of age please do not use honey.
Rolled Oats: I use traditional large rolled oats for the pancake batter, but as this is a blender pancake batter you can use the finer quick cook oats without any problems.
Greek yoghurt: I use greek yoghurt as that's what I typically have in my fridge but any yoghurt or an equivalent amount of milk, will work fine in this recipe. Cottage cheese is also an appropriate substitute. If you can not have dairy then any dairy alternative milk such as almond milk will work.

I am an ambassador for Countdown supermarket, they support my blog by providing ingredients for recipe creation and testing. I used paprika, garlic powder, cheese and olive oil from their range in this recipe.
