Dukan Oatbran Pancake (Galette) Recipes

A crucial part of the Dukan diet is eating oatbran everyday.
To do this during the Attack, Cruise, Consolidation and now the Stabalization Phase one eats a lot of the Dukan diet's Oatbran Pancakes (or, Galette's as Dr Dukan calls them).

They are quick to make, tasty to eat and store easily if you wish to pre-make them for a busy week ahead.

Below there are three recipes - all containing your daily consumption target of oatbran: The Basic, The Cinnamon Spice and The Lemon Yogurt.

The fun thing is, with 'The Basic' recipe - you can add toppings, try new spices - anything to keep eating oatbran from being boring...because you need to do it for life if you have committed to the Dukan diet.


The Basic: What You'll Need:
  • 1 egg
  • 1.5 Tbps Oatbran when you are in the Attack phase. Use 2 Tbps when you are on the Cruise, Consolidation and Stabilization phases.
  • 1.5 Tbps fat free quark or yogurt (I use 0% Total Fat-free Greek Yogurt). As per the oatbran, raise this amount to 2 Tbps when on the Cruise, Consolidation and Stabilization phases.

What You'll Do:
  • Use a non-stick frying pan
  • Pre-heat your frying pan as you do the below steps
  • In a small mixing bowl, add in your oatbran, fat-free quark or yogurt then egg
  • Stir completely
  • Pour onto your hot pan, cooking until the pancake starts to show small bubbles (about three minutes)
  • Flip your pancake over and cook the other side until a nice light brown

Easy, right? But - admittedly pretty darn boring. We can be more creative than this?!


The Cinnamon Spice: What You'll Need:
  • 1 egg
  • 1.5 Tbps Oatbran when you are in the Attack phase. Use 2 Tbps when you are on the Cruise, Consolidation and Stabilization phases.
  • 1.5 Tbps fat free quark or yogurt (I use 0% Total Fat-free Greek Yogurt). As per the oatbran, raise this amount to 2 Tbps when on the Cruise, Consolidation and Stabilization phases
  • 1 tsp your favourite cinnamon (mine is from The Silk Road Spice Merchant - I use their Indonesian Korintje Cassia Cinnamon, I find it the most spicy)
* Repeat the cooking instructions from above

The Lemon Yogurt: What You'll Need:
  • 1 egg
  • 1.5 Tbps Oatbran when you are in the Attack phase. Use 2 Tbps when you are on the Cruise, Consolidation and Stabilization phases.
  • 1.5 Tbps fat free lemon-flavoured yogurt (which raises to 2 Tbps when not on the Attack phase)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
* Repeat the cooking instructions from above

Now its time to channel Martha - be creative!!


Try different spices that you love.
Make the pancake savoury by adding dill, fresh basil, curry powder...put salmon or tuna on it and have it for dinner instead of breakfast.
This is such a versatile recipe allowing for creativity.

Show Martha what tricks you have up your apron sleeve!
Try the sugar-free cinnamon apple sauce with strawberries (any berry would be tasty). Using sugar-free or xylitol-based syrup, or have The Basic galette with low-fat ham or chicken slices.
The STEWART SCORE:
Appearance: 1.5 (this would raise to a two with lots of pretty fruit toppers!)
Taste: 2
Ease: 2

    1. Hi Erin
      I would recommend making these fresh. But, if you want to pre-make some, I'd only make one or max two extra, as they dry quickly. Keep them wrapped and refrigerated and reheat them via the stovetop, rather than a microwave (as that will turn them rubbery)
