We love pancakes! These slimming friendly Bacon and Maple Blueberry Pancakes are a perfect, filling breakfast for Pancake Day!
Despite travelling to the US and Canada many times, we’d never tried bacon and maple syrup together. To be honest it wasn’t a combination that has ever taken our fancy.
For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card at the end of this post. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb 👍
In anticipation of Pancake Day we asked our Facebook group for their favourite flavours, and Bacon and Maple Blueberry was one of the most popular ones.
So, we thought we’d give it a go…..and we’re glad we did! Bacon and Maple and Blueberry Pancakes have become a firm favourite of ours.
Next, the ingredients! We use Ready Brek instead of traditional flour. We love the texture this gives the pancakes and it is high fibre so it will fill you up for longer. Feel free to use an equivalent measure of oats, blitzed in a food processor. We love the convenience of Ready Brek. Anything to make our mornings simpler!

Hi Em
As mentioned in step 5 of the instructions, you should get 4 pancakes from the mix
Great! Thanks for clarifying the blitzed oats! Will definitely try it this way now safe in the knowledge I’m still. On plan!
Could you make the mixture up the night before and then cook the pancakes the next morning? Thanks 🙂
Hi Emma
Yes you can, just be sure to mix it really well before using it
Another brilliant recipe, thank you.
Hi Mary
Glad you like it
Just wondered does it matter what oats i use for this
Thanks for the lovely recipe. Look forward to trying it! It says that blueberries aren’t speed food but I understood that this changed recenty and that they are now speed. Please can you you clarify?
Thanks.
Can you get away without blitzing, I don’t have one where I am, would it work? Thank you
Lisa
in some of your pancake recipes there are 2 eggs and others there are no eggs. Why is this?
Hi Debbie,
It really depends on the recipe – it means there are different options for people. If a pancake recipe doesn’t use eggs, it normally relies on the binding properties of the oats to hold the pancake together 😊
