A must-do on the Dukan Diet is to include one and a half tablespoons of oat bran in your food intake every day. Galettes in French are called pikelets in Australian and pancakes in Canada or USA.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons oat bran
- 6 tablespoons of non-fat dairy (cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, quark, low-fat yoghurt or combinations of any)
- 3 eggs (2 whites only and one with yolk if you want to be really conscientious)
- salt, pepper, herbs such as chives, thyme, parsley
To make
Put all the ingredients into a bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined. If the mixture looks too thick, thin with some skim milk. But you don’t want it to be too runny (after a couple of times making these, you’ll get a feel for the consistency).
Spoon the mixture into a non-stick pan. When small bubbles appear on the surface, turn over. Cook for a couple of minutes. Remove.
Serving suggestions
I serve these galettes with short cut bacon (low fat) and poached or scrambled eggs. On protein and vegetable days, I add mushrooms, spinich or tomatoes. Two galettes per person. Wrap the rest in cling wrap and keep in the fridge.
Other ways of adding oat bran into your daily menu: sprinkle over low-fat yoghurt or add to milk drinks.
