Some Flippin' Brilliant (Healthy) Pancakes


You've gotta love pancake day. I can't believe it's not a bank holiday. Heck, I'd swap one of the days at easter for this one. That being said, it's no excuse to eat like a horse. As Mr Motivator said 'what you eat today, you'll wear tomorrow.' (I don't agree, but it's good for a bit of banter). So check out this recipe for healthy pancakes... They're best served covered in sugar and lemon (joke).

Apple Flax Pancake (1 serving)

1 egg
1 tbsn natural yoghurt
1/4 tspn vanilla
2 Tablespoons flax meal (ground flax seeds)
1/3 apple - chopped into 1/4-inch or smaller pieces (you can also use roughly mashed bananas or blueberries)
Sprinkle of cinnamon and/or other spices as desired

Beat egg with yoghurt and vanilla until well mixed and fluffy. Add in flax meal, apple or fruit, and desired spices; stir until mixed. Let sit for 2-3 minutes while you preheat a non-stick skillet with a bit of coconut oil.

Pour batter into bottom of small skillet and cook a few minutes on each side, until nicely browned.

Serve spread with natural peanut butter (my personal favourite), or some yoghurt and fruit together!

They're flippin' brilliant!
