Did you know that it’s Pancake Day today?! And who wouldn’t want to celebrate the deliciousness that is a pancake?  So to jump on board the festivities I have created a really yummy, and healthy, pancake recipe for you. It’s made with low-fat yoghurt, wholemeal spelt flour and of course eggs!

As well as a sharing my recipe today, the friendly folks at Australian Eggs have given me a fun pancake-making giveaway for you guys! Scroll to the bottom of the post to find out more.

Chai-spiced spelt pancakes

1 1/2 cups wholemeal spelt flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup cooled chai black tea ( I used a chai tea bag and steeped it in 1/2 cup boiling water)

1/2 cup milk

3/4 cup low-fat Greek yoghurt

1 egg

2 tablespoons agave syrup (you could also use rice malt syrup, maple syrup or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking oil spray

Blueberries and extra agave syrup to serve

Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and baking soda into a medium bowl.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the tea, milk, yoghurt, egg, agave syrup and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.  Lightly spray a large frying pan with cooking oil. Heat over medium/low heat. Cook 1/4 cupfuls of the batter, in batches, for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through. Top with blueberries and drizzle with extra agave syrup to serve.
