We love pancakes! These slimming friendly Bacon and Maple Blueberry Pancakes are a perfect, filling breakfast for Pancake Day.

Despite its popularity in the US, we’d never tried bacon and maple syrup together. To be honest it wasn’t a combination that had ever taken our fancy. However, 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.

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 mornings simpler!

Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

NEW TIP
Pancakes
Make sure the pan is hot enough before you start as this can help to make them a more even shape.
Lovely treat breakfast for when you have time to cook!
I added the blueberries into the pancake mix, as I love the flavour of blueberries when they have been heated.
Very filling and a good start to the day.
I added peaches and some natural yoghurt. The pancakes and syrup feel like a naughty breakfast but healthy at the same time.
Indulgent Breakfast
I didn't have any ready-brek so I blitzed some rolled oats and used those instead, it definitely did the job!

    Hi Karen
    If you scroll down to the end of the page you’ll find the recipe card which states the servings. This recipe serves one, however it’s entirely up to you. If you think it’s too big a portion for you, you can half the recipe and the calories.

in some of your pancake recipes there are 2 eggs and others there are no eggs. Why is this?

    Emma TWednesday 25th September 2019

    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 ????

Can you get away without blitzing, I don’t have one where I am, would it work? Thank you
