Banana Pikelets - low fat
« on: August 08, 2009, 12:55:02 am »
This recipe is from Symply Too Good To Be True No 3 cookbook.  We often have these for breakfast.

Ingredients:
2 egg whites
1/4C sugar
2 ripe bananas, broken in half (can use more)
1/2tsp bicarb
1 1/4C SR flour (I use 3/4C wholemeal and rest white flour)
3/4C low fat milk

Method:
Egg whites and sugar in to TMX bowl and mix 10 seconds, speed 4.
Add bananas and mix, 5 sec, speed 4.  You can do longer, but we like them a bit chunky.
Sprinkle bicarb over and mix, 5 sec, reverse speed 1.
Add flour and milk and mix, 30-40 sec until combined, reverse soft speed.  I use the butterfly but wouldn't matter if not.

Put spoonfuls in lightly greased fry pan until bubbles appear, turn and leave until cooked.  Voila.  YUM.

It serves 6 (4 small pikelets each) with 43.5 carbs per serve.
The dietitian's tip - use firm, not ripe bananas to improve the effect of these pikelets on blood sugar levels.

I have 5 of Annette Syms books but haven't used them for a while now, especially since getting my TMX.  Used them so much at one stage that some of the pages have stuck together ??? ???  Would be plenty of conversions that could be done for healthier eating - thanks for this one.

I will have to give these a go.  I eat a lot of low fat things but I'm still fat -- maybe I've solved my dilemma (I eat a lot..)

in my case it's the additions to the low fat things - i LOVE butter.  Oops.

I'd love to try these (& any other Symply conversions).

Can you please let me know how many serves this makes & how many carbs per serve?

Many thanks
