Equipment needed:  non-stick frying pan, chopping board and sharp knife

Serves 4

• 6 tbsp porridge oats
• 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt (0%) plus 2 tbsp to serve
• 4 tbsp almond milk
• 2 eggs + 1 egg white
• Pinch of salt
• ½ tsp cinnamon

 Method 

1. Spoon the oats, almond milk, Greek yoghurt and eggs into a blender. Add the salt, cinnamon and baking powder and blitz until combined.
2. Take a small, clean bowl and add the egg white. Whisk until it forms soft peaks, then gently fold into the pancake batter.

Gently cook for a few minutes until bubbles start to appear on top, then flip over and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side, until well risen and cooked through.
