This is one of the most basic recipes of the Dukan Diet. During all stages of the diet you are allowed to eat oat brand once a day. During the attack phase you are allowed 1.5 tbsp and during the cruise phase you are allowed 2 tbsp. This recipe can be done with either amount of oat bran and be OK.
Ingredients:
1.5 or 2 tbsp of Oat Bran (depending on which phase you are on)
2 tbsp of greek yogurt
1 egg (or the equivalent in egg whites)
sweetener to taste (optional - I do not use it - I like my pancakes savory)
Mix all ingredients in a bowl to form the dough - it will be as thick as normal pancake dough.
Spread some PAM on a pan and clean it gently with a paper towel. Put half the batter in the pan and let it cook for about a minute or so or until lightly brown.
Turn it over and cook for about half a minute on the other side. You are done!
I make pancakes almost every weekend for the kids, so I am please that I can still enjoy the pancakes with them. I always have my pancakes with ham and cheese, so I am still doing that - I used a 2% milk based cheese and some fat free cream cheese.
Now to manage your expectations, the pancakes are a little more coarse than regular pancakes, but they are OK, and do not forget, they allow you to still have pancakes while sticking to your diet!
Enjoy!
I've never tried pancakes made of Oat Bran but I'm going to try it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've substituted fat-free cottage cheese for the yogurt and it was delicious. It also needs just a small pinch of salt.
ReplyDeleteTo make them less coarse, blend the oat bran to a flour consistancy. Also,it doesnt have to be Greek Yoghurt, natural works fine too, and you can use a whole egg rather than just egg white. I actually make mine with two eggs, a tablespoon of Quark style cheese that I make from buttermilk, Oat Bran and pepper. If you are on Consolidation or Stabilisation phases and are using three tablespoons of Oat Bran you can actually cut them in half and toast them after making a Galette / pancake and they are like English Muffins.
ReplyDeleteHow many does it make? Can I double up to make more?
ReplyDeleteI do and it is ok for me.
DeleteDo they keep well, freeze ?
