Ingredients:

  • 380g plain flour

  • 130g caster sugar

Method:

  1. Combine all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
  2. Next, whisk up your OGGS® Egg Alternative Aquafaba in a clean bowl for 30 seconds until it’s pale and frothy, then add the oil, lemon juice and milk.

  4. Rest the pancake batter in the fridge for 30 minutes…sorry!
  5. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a knob of margarine. Once melted, add a small ladleful of batter into the frying pan and smooth into a rough round with the back of the ladle.
  6. Wait until the base of the mixture sets and the top begins to bubble, then flip it over and cook until both sides are golden brown. Repeat until all the batter is used up.

When it comes to Father’s Day breakfasts, it’s tough to beat a breakfast burrito! For a hearty start to the celebrations, you can’t go wrong with a wholemeal tortilla loaded up with scrambled egg, peppers, cheese and sweet potato. The ultimate veggie breakfast!

  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 15g fresh parsley, chopped

  2. Meanwhile, heat half the oil in a nonstick frying pan. Add the pepper and stir-fry for 5-10 mins until softened. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan. Add the beaten egg and cook over a medium heat for 1-2 mins, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, to softly scramble. Season and set aside.
  4. Stir the peppers and parsley through the grated potato mixture. Divide between the wraps (in a vertical strip slightly to one side). Spoon the scrambled egg on top of each strip.  Enclose the top and bottom ends, then roll up to enclose fully. Slice in half to serve.
