Carrot Cake Pancakes - help please

[WittyAndCleverUsername]

I found a recipe for carrot cake inspired pancakes.

Recipe is:

100g porridge oats
3 eggs
1 medium carrot, grated
3 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
4 tbs Greek yoghurt (although I used fat free vanilla as I had no Greek in the fridge)

Blitz it all together in a blender and until you get the consistency of batter then cook like you would a pancake.

My problem is - how do you cook a pancake? I have tried so many times and I either end up with some kind of super think omelletey / scrambled egg mess or a burnt pile of slop that I have to scrap and flop over than flip like it should.

I have tried using vegetable oil, olive oil, fry light - makes no difference. I have tried having my pan on high heat and a medium heat. I have tried different frying pans.

Should I resign myself to the fact that I will never be able to make a pancake or is it maybe something to do with the recipe?

The little bits of unburnt stuff taste delicious and really carrot cakey so I want to persevere.

I am on Slimming World and am trying to find some more exciting breakfast options rather than my usual poached egg and mushroom on toast.

Thank you Dancingqueen - what do you grease with - Butter or Oil?

Apologies if I'm reading this wrong, but you are trying to make an American style (small, thick) pancake and not an English/French crepe style (big, thin) pancake, aren't you?

Would make a lot of difference!! :)

Hi huevos - yes these are American style. Small but thick. I think that's why what I end up with resembles little omelettes!!
