Make Jamie Oliver’s fluffy flourless pancakes for the Bank Holiday in just 10 minutes

If you’re looking for a delicious breakfast recipe to whip up over the August Bank Holiday Weekend then look no further – and this pancake recipe is ‘not too tricky’ to make

With the August Bank Holiday fast approaching, it’s safe to say brunch is on the cards for many Brits eager to make the absolute most of their extended weekend. If you’re entertaining at home rather than venturing out, then here’s a scrumptious and speedy breakfast recipe that any visitor would adore.

Jamie Oliver’s fluffy flourless pancakes require just 10 minutes to prepare and are classified as “not too tricky” by the celebrity chef. According to instructions given by TV chef Jamie, this recipe produces two portions, but you can adjust it as needed, should you end up with any additional guests.

It comes after a writer claimed ‘I tried butter from Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and big brands – and the winner is not Lurpak’.

Publishing the recipe on his official website, Jamie explained: “These simple breakfast pancakes can be made without flour – throw the ingredients in a blender, whiz it up and fry in a pan for breakfast in no time. Easy!”

Ingredients

• 100g porridge oats
• 100g cottage cheese
• Two large free-range eggs
• One teaspoon of baking powder
• Olive oil or unsalted butter, for frying

Topping options

• One avocado
• Two free-range eggs
• Chilli sauce

Method

Mix the oats, cottage cheese, two eggs, and baking powder in a blender. Whizz until smooth, incorporating a tiny pinch of sea salt and a splash of water if the mixture appears too thick. Warm a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil or a small knob of butter, reports the Express.

Spoon dollops of the batter into the pan, preparing in batches if required. Cook each side for approximately two minutes, or until golden brown. If preferred, serve the pancakes garnished with sliced ​​avocado, a fried egg, and chili sauce, or personalize with your favorite toppings.

Finally, sit down, enjoy, and relax—preferably outside in the garden if the sun comes out. Looking ahead to the weekend forecast, the Met Office predicts both misery and sunshine, depending on where you live. Some parts of the country will be basking in glorious weather, while others may face the knock-on effects of a hurricane currently blowing across the US.

The national forecaster said: “High pressure is likely to be the dominant feature at first bringing widely fine and dry weather while a generally northerly flow leads to rather cool conditions.

“This will be increasingly eroded from the west as frontal systems start to move in from the Atlantic through the weekend, leading to more changeable conditions.

“Whilst this is happening, a deep area of ​​low pressure is likely to develop in the North Atlantic, linked to Hurricane Erin. This likely progresses towards the UK through the early part of the week. The changeable period will likely continue through the last week of August, especially in the north and west, with a small chance of widely wetter and windier weather developing. The evolution of this is highly uncertain, though.”
