Step by step

Follow the timeline: technique icon, time and temperature when relevant.

Step 1 Cook

Blend all ingredients until you get a smooth batter. Taste for salt at the end and adjust if needed.
Step 2 Pan 2 min

Cook on a non-stick pan over medium heat for 2 minutes per side.
Step 3 Serve

Serve with fresh fruit. Control the cooking time to avoid burning: the perfect point makes the difference.

Storage

Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave 1–2 min. Freeze only if the recipe allows.

Chef tips

Mise en place: chop and weigh before cooking so you don't run over time.
Taste for salt at the end; broths and canned foods already add sodium.
For meal prep, keep dressings separate until serving.

Variations

Substitutions for a vegan version

Instead of: egg

Use: crumbled firm tofu or chickpea flour mixture

Why: Egg binds and provides protein; tofu or chickpea flour serve a similar function in sautés and pancakes.

Tip: For scrambled eggs, use tofu; for binding batters, 1 tbsp of chickpea flour + 2 tbsp of water per egg.

Other variations

Lighter version: reduce oil to 1 tablespoon and increase vegetables in Protein Oat and Banana Pancakes.
Batch cook: double quantities and store in containers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
