Prep and cooking time: 25 mins

  • Vegetarian
  • High-protein

Ingredients

Serves: 4

  • 1 large courgette, grated
  • 120g wholewheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 200ml milk
  • 200g plain natural or Greek yoghurt
  • 320g fresh or frozen berries

Method

Step 1

Whisk together the courgette, flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, egg, and milk in a mixing bowl until smooth.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick frying pan, over medium heat. You shouldn’t need any oil or butter, but if your pan tends to stick, add 1 tsp coconut oil or butter per pancake.

Step 3

Scoop out a heaped dessert spoon of batter at a time and place in the pan, gently spread out to a saucer-sized circle.

Step 4

Cook for 2mins, until bubbles have formed on the top and then flip with a spatula.

Step 5

Cook for 1min, then remove from the pan and put on a plate.

Step 6

Repeat with remaining batter. The batter should make roughly 8 medium sized pancakes (2 per person).

Step 7

Serve the pancakes with a few spoonfuls of greek yoghurt and berries.
