Taken and adapted from the Dukan diet - Oat bran pancakes.
Oat bran is soluble fibre which for those of you who are not aware is much better for people who suffer with digestion problems, as it absorbs into the body where other fibre can not, which means you get the value from it without the irritant.
The original recipe asks you to use 0% fat creme Freiche, which is not always easy to find and as my local supermarket only had the weightwatchers low fat I decided to replace it with 0% greek yoghurt. You can also if you prefer use a whole egg, but this recipe does not.
Recipe
Combine 1 and a half tablespoons of oat bran with one egg white, 1 and half tablespoons of greek yoghurt and a teaspoon of sweetener.
Spray some 1cal oil into the pan, just enough to stop the pancake from sticking and pour the mixture into the pan. I make 2 small ones rather than one big one.
Leave it a couple of minutes to cook through. The top should be looking quite firm before turning and then leave for a further minute once turned to brown.
Then you have a lovely sweet breakfast, that is also great for your digestive system and very low in calories. Also the oatbran swells when it is inside your tummy to 3 times the volume, which keeps hunger at bay for quite some time. It served me well yesterday and I didn't want to eat again until 1pm, which is an hour later than normal. Well worth trying if you are trying to cut down a bit.
