Notes

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.

Tips

  • Cook your pancakes over relatively low heat, these pancakes have a tendency to brown quite quickly.
  • If you want to boost the protein content you can add a spoonful of nut butter such as almond butter before blending the batter.
  • For a little bit of fun factory you can stir some chocolate chips through the blended batter.
  •  
  • Leftovers make an amazing snack or lunchbox addition
  • Leftovers also freeze really well.
