Blueberry Flapjacks

These delicious Blueberry Flapjacks make the perfect Sunday breakfast, that’s also a source of fibre.

Makes: 6

Recipe from ‘Symply Too Good To Be True- Book 3’

Ingredients

For batter:

1 x 425g can blueberries
2 x egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 cup skim milk
1 cup self-raising flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda
Cooking spray

For sauce:

Juice from canned blueberries
1 teaspoon cornflour

Method

To make batter:

Drain blueberries, save juice from can to make sauce.
In a medium size mixing bowl beat egg whites and sugar for a minute. Add essence and milk and mix.
Sift flour and bicarb soda into mixture in one go, DO NOT BEAT but gently fold flour through until just combined (overbeating bruises the flour and will make the flapjacks tough). Fold blueberries through the batter gently.
Coat a non-stick frypan with cooking spray and pour a little less than half a cup (100ml) of mixture into pan, spread batter to make a round shape.
Cook 1-2 minutes or until browned, turn and cook another minute or so until cooked. Repeat until all mixture has been used.

To make sauce:

In a small saucepan combine the saved juice and cornflour, stir continuously on medium heat.
When boiled pour sauce over each flapjack.

Variations

Replace blueberries with 2 cups fresh apple peeled finely diced. Instead of sauce make cinnamon sugar by mixing 3 teaspoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together, sprinkle over flapjacks OR Omit the sauce – it will reduce carbohydrate count to 31.2g, 606 kilojoules (144 calories). Suitable to be frozen.

Simply can not see the fascination with using egg whites and not the whole egg. Eggs are good for us. I would use 1 egg instead of 2 whites.
Still I love my blueberry pancakes, sorry can’t call them flapjacks, I’m Aussie not American.

    Thank you so much for your feedback! I love seeing all of your wonderful comments & feedback on my delicious recipes! The reason I cut out the egg yolk is because the yolk itself contains 7g of fat so it is a much better option for someone who needs to watch their fat intake – for example, diabetics. Happy Cooking – Annette.

    Absolutely agree. Most of the nutrition in the egg is in the yolk. I love the recipe but would also use a whole egg. There are plenty of other fats to avoid in my diet rather than egg yolks.

Oh, I wish that I’d seen this recipe yesterday. Then I could have made them for breakfast today, instead of having a bowl of porridge. Still, now I’ve got the recipe for next weekend. Roll on Sunday!
