Single-Serving Blueberry Oat Pancakes
Cooking breakfast for one? These blueberry oat pancakes are made with 40 g rolled oats, 40 g fat-free Greek yoghurt, an egg and blueberries. The oats give the pancake more texture than a simple banana-and-egg batter, while the yoghurt helps keep it moist. A little baking powder helps the mixture rise.
This recipe is designed for one person, so there is no need to prepare a large batch or store leftovers. It is especially handy when you want a warm breakfast with fruit already mixed into the batter.
How to get the texture right
- For a smoother pancake, briefly blend the oats before mixing with the remaining ingredients.
- For a more rustic texture, leave the oats whole and stir everything together by hand.
- If using frozen blueberries, fold them in gently while still frozen to limit streaking.
- Cook over moderate heat and allow the centre to set before flipping. A thicker pancake may take longer than a thin one.
Simple serving ideas
Add a spoonful of plain fat-free Greek yoghurt and a handful of fresh berries. Ground cinnamon or lemon zest can add flavour without changing the basic batter. Sweet sauces, nut butters and syrups are optional additions and will change the finished dish’s energy content.
How this differs from our other pancake recipes
This is the smallest batch in our pancake collection and uses blueberries within the batter. Our banana-and-egg pancakes do not contain oats, the oat-and-banana version uses milk, and the oven-baked version is prepared in individual dishes.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes. Frozen blueberries work well, although the pancake may need a little extra cooking time.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes. Double each ingredient and cook in batches so the pan is not overcrowded.
Do I need a blender?
No. A blender makes the oats finer, but mixing the ingredients in a bowl also works and produces a more textured result.
