Ricotta Pikelets with Apricots

Recipes, Snacking Suggestions, Weight Loss Help

Pikelets are a favourite with adults and children alike, but aren’t typically the best choice to include in your healthy eating plan.
Packaged, store bought pikelets aren’t the best choice when trying to lose pregnancy weight because usually contain high amounts of sugar, white flour and preservatives.
These pikelets are made with wholemeal flour and are sweetened with honey, making them a far better choice than the store bought variety. Because they are topped with natural yoghurt and fresh fruit, there’s also the added bonus of receiving calcium, fibre and vitamins too.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup wholemeal flour
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup low fat ricotta cheese
  • 4 fresh apricots, halved
  • 4 tablespoons low fat Greek Yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Olive oil spray for the pan

Optional Extras:

  • Instead of apricots, serve with chopped banana or fresh berries
  • Replace the ricotta cheese with cottage cheese
  • Top with some chopped almonds or walnuts
  • Add some shredded coconut to the batter before cooking

Method:

  • In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, honey and ricotta cheese.
  • Gently fold together the wet and the dry ingredients, and mix until just blended.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and melt the coconut oil in the pan.
  • Take a tablespoon of batter and place in the frying pan and cook until golden on each side (this should only take a few minutes)
  • Serve warm with apricots and a dollop of yoghurt on top.
