Syn free Carrot cake oat pancake recipe

Welcome back to An appetite for makeup, 

So to kick off the introduction of more slimming world posts on my previously makeup centered blog, I thought I would share with you all my favourite breakfast recipe. 

Before slimming world, I used to skip breakfast, I would have something sugary at about 10.30, usually half a pack of biscuits; however now that's completely changed; I make sure I have a big breakfast every single morning to try and curb any mid morning picking.

So anyway back to the pancakes; I make lots of variations on these oat pancakes but this is my favourite recipe, and because I have added carrot, I am adding more speed (which is the secret to slimming world)

Ingredients - 

40g of oats

1 egg

50mls of milk (from your hexa allowance)

Yogurt of your choice 

A dash of vanilla 

1/4 of tsp of cinnamon

Half a grated carrot (which I microwaved for 1minute)

Half a tbsp of sweetener 

Raspberries for topping

Fry light 

Method - 

Measure out 50mls of milk (from your allowance) in a jug, add the oats, vanilla, cinnamon, sweetener, egg, grated carrot and 2 tbsp of yogurt and stir really well.

Add a couple of sprays of fry light to your frying pan and turn on to a medium heat.

Add your mixture to the pan, I got three out of this mixture. The mixture is quite wet but it will set up.

Fry them for about 3 minutes each side, keeping an eye on them, as they can quickly burn.

I served them with the rest of the yogurt and defrosted frozen raspberries. 

However you could serve them with any fruit of your choice or even syn some ice cream and have them for desert.

 So here is the finished product, they were delicious!! 

I hope you enjoy if you decide to try them!!

Re-introduction - Slimming world update

Welcome back to An appetite for makeup- 

So let me re-introduce myself, I really wanted to do this post as I feel I have lost my mojo for blogging.

There was a time, about two years ago, I was really into blogging, very passionate about what I was blogging about and I feel as if I've lost that. 

I have not lost the passion for beauty or makeup; I just feel I have lots other things I'm also passionate about and want to share. 

So this post is basically re-introducing my blog and telling you what to expect.

If you have read some of my most recent posts. you will see I'm on a slimming world weighloss journey and it's been pretty successful. I've now lost 4 stone 12 pounds, and pretty much completely changed my body. 

This is a huge passion of mine and something I want to share with you all.

However, I felt, when putting those kinds of posts up on my blog, the post felt very disconnected with the theme. 

I wanted to write this post, to tell you all, that what you will see from me from now on, is going to be a lot more varied.

I did think about changing the name of my blog, however becuase the name of my blog is An 'Appetite' for makeup, and the word 'Appetite' is usually connected with food, so I felt it all still fit in.

So what will you see from me.........

Lots of varied posts about - 

Makeup

Beauty

Nail art

Slimming world 

Lifestyle 

Baking

And more

I hope you continue to support me and my blogging journey and I feel that this re-introduction will allow me to get my mojo for blogging back, as it will enable me to write about many of my passions. 

Love you lots 

Love Nicola xxxxx
