Lighter Quark Pancakes Recipe With Lemon & Maple Syrup

Quark is an ideal healthy alternative as it has 14g protein per 100g - that’s double the protein of Greek yogurt!

• ½ cup Quark
• 2 eggs, separated
• ¾ cup (185ml) milk
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or extract)
• 1 cup (150g) whole wheat flour
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• ½ squeezed lemon
• Drizzle of light maple syrup to serve (optional)

1. Place Quark, egg yolks (set aside the whites in a separate bowl) milk and vanilla into a mixing bowl and whisk together.
2. Stir in flour and baking powder until just combined. Add a pinch of salt into the egg whites, and whisk until they’re foamy.
3. Fold the egg whites into the batter.
4. Put a large, heavy based non-stick pan on a medium heat.
5. Ladle in heaped spoonfuls of batter into the pan (about ¼ cup) and cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake. Flip and cook until golden brown.
6. Drizzle your pancakes with lemon juice and/or maple syrup
