American Style Pancakes!
These are surprisingly good and with a little pat of margarine & maple syrup (count the syns! Maple syrup: 1 tbsp = 2 syns) they are very passable as proper pancakes. You have to like sweet potatoes though! These would also be great with some fresh fruit on top and sweetened yogurt poured over for breakfast with a twist!
Makes 6 pancakes
2 pancakes = 1 HEX B and 1/2 syn
Ingredients:
225g sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
84g oats
2 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1.5 tsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pot Vanilla Muller Light
2 tbsp Splenda
1) Put the sweet potato in a microwaveable bowl. Add about 2 tbsp water, cover and microwave for 5-6 mins until tender.
2) In the meantime, blitz the oats in a food processor until powdery. Add the rest of the ingredients and blitz again. If the mixture is too thick, add a little milk or water but it should be quite thick, though pourable.
3) Heat a non stick frying pan sprayed with butter Frylight and spoon batter onto it (I used a 1/4 cup sized measuring cup to measure out the batter - this made about 6.5 pancakes). Cook for 3 mins on each side or until golden.
