Flourless Blender Tofu Pancakes
Surprisingly fluffy and tender, these protein-packed and healthy tofu breakfast pancakes are all made in the blender and only takes minutes to make!Makes 5 medium-sized pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats or 95 g oat flour *
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar of choice**
- ½ cup + 2 Tbsp tightly packed mashed tofu (120g)***
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp light olive oil
- optional: 1-2 Tbsp water, if using extra firm tofu
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in blender or food processor until smooth, then let sit 5-10 minutes for the oat to soften and absorb all the excess moisture
- Scoop batter onto a lightly oiled griddle/frying pan, heat on both sides until lightly brown and hot.
- Lazy version: if you don’t want to use a food processor, you can also make this using oat flour and fork-mashed tofu. There will be a bit of tofu chunks visible, but tastes great all the same.
Notes
*I used gluten-free old fashioned oats to make them gluten-free, but you can use regular oats
** You can use any granulated or liquid sweetener of your choice, but honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, date sugar and maple sugars are the less processed, naturally derived sweeteners. For the lower calorie, reduced carb option, use sugar-free sweeteners such as stevia (just be sure to convert according to package instructions as stevia differs by brand).
*** any firm or extra firm tofu works, but for best results use the silken firm tofu
