What You'll Need
Ingredients
Pancake
- 100g 5% Fage Greek Yogurt
- 100g Cottage Cheese
- 1 Whole Egg
- 50g Milk (any alternative works)
- 30g Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 75g Oat Flour
Compote
- 200g Frozen Berries (I used strawberries and raspberries)
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- 10g Maple Syrup
- 50g Water
Yoghurt Topping
- 200g 5% Fage Greek Yoghurt
- 2 Tbsp Milk (any alternative works)
Directions
Step 1
First up, let's make the compote. Add the frozen berries, lemon juice, water and maple syrup to a small pan and simmer over a low heat for 15-20 minutes.
Step 2
While that’s bubbling away, make the pancake mix. Add the greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, milk and an egg to a large mixing bowl and whisk to incorporate. Then add the dry ingredients, oat flour, baking powder, protein powder and salt to the wet ingredients and whisk to incorporate. Leave to sit for 10 minutes.
Step 3
For the yoghurt topping, whisk the milk into yoghurt until smooth and silky.
Step 4
Place a large non-stick pan over a medium-low heat and spray lightly with some avocado oil. You can use any kind of fat here but you really don’t need much. Add 2 tablespoons (or ¼ of the mixture) of the pancake mix to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely golden. Remove and repeat with the remaining mixture.
Step 5
To plate up, stack 2 of the pancakes onto a plate, cover half the yoghurt and drizzle over half of the compote. Go crazy with topping, additional fruit or syrup will be great, it’s your breakfast!
