Cook with me: Healthy Oreo Pancakes

Hello everyone,

I took a break from writing posts but now I'm back on track! August was just such a busy month. 
However, here is a new recipe for an amazing stack of Oreo pancakes, healthy and free from refined sugar! And by using dairyfree products, they are also vegan.
I uploaded a photo of them on Instagram (and many many more food photos - @crayonsandbeads) yesterday morning when having them for breakfast. I could rave about how deliciously they taste for days! One of the best chocolate pancakes I've eaten in my life, seriously.

If you want to taste a little bit of (chocolate) heaven, you should try the following recipe.

Recipe (for 6 pancakes):

Ingredients for the pancake batter:

4 tbsp spelt flour

4 tbsp raw cacao powder

2 tbsp liquid sweetener (honey/maple syrup)

2 tsp baking powder

4 tsp vanilla flavoured yogurt (vegan option - soy/coconut yogurt)

6-8 tbsp dairyfree milk

Ingredients for the filling:

1/3 cup vanilla flavoured yogurt (vegan option - soy/coconut yogurt)

1 tsp sweetener (honey/maple syrup/coconut palm sugar)

Preparation:

1. In a bowl, combine flour, cacao powder, sweetener and baking powder. Add yogurt and milk, but don't add too much milk because the batter shouldn't be too liquid. Mix very well.

2. Put two heaping tablespoons of batter per pancake on a greased skillet. Bake them on medium heat, a few minutes each side.

3. For the filling, mix together the yogurt and sweetener. Add it in between the pancakes.

Optional: Drizzle some chocolate syrup over them (1 tsp raw cacao powder + 1 tsp liquid sweetener + 1 tsp water).

Recept (za 6 palačink):

Sestavine za maso:

4 žlice pirine moke

4 žlice presnega kakava v prahu

2 žlici tekočega sladila (med/javorjev sirup)

2 žlički pecilnega praška

4 žličke vanilijevega jogurta (veganska opcija - sojin/kokosov jogurt)

6-8 žlic rastlinskega mleka

Sestavine za nadev:

1/3 skodelice vanilijevega jogurta (veganska opcija - sojin/kokosov jogurt)

1 žlička sladila (med/javorjev sirup/kokosov sladkor)

Priprava:

1. V posodi zmešamo moko, kakav, sladilo in pecilni prašek. Dodamo jogurt in mleko, vendar ne preveč, saj masa ne sme biti pretekoča. Dobro premešamo.

2. Na ponev damo po dve zvrhani žlici mase na palačinko. Pečemo na srednjem ognju, vsako stran nekaj minut.

3. Za nadev zmešamo jogurt in sladilo ter ga namažemo med palačinke.

Opcija: Na koncu lahko palačinke prelijemo še s čokoladnim sirupom (1 žlička presnega kakava v prahu + 1 žlička tekočega sladila + 1 žlička vode).

Cook with me: Healthy banana pancakes

"I want pancakes! God, do you people understand every language except English? Yo quiero pancakes! Donnez-moi pancakes! Click click bloody click pancakes!" - Stewie Griffin

Hello everyone,

I don't know about you, but I love eating pancakes. Especially if they are healthy. I found the following recipe two months ago but didn't have time to try it out. The best thing about it is that there are only two ingredients required to make these healthy pancakes! And they taste very good. So why not share it?

Ingredients:

- 1 banana

- 1 egg

Method:

1) Mash the banana in a bowl, then add the egg and mix until you get a homogeneous consistency.

2) With a ladle, put a small amount of the mixture on a preheated pan (I didn't add any oil, butter or cooking spray) and bake on each side until it turns golden or even dark brown.

And why are these pancakes so healthy? Bananas contain fiber, minerals (potassium, manganese, magnesium), vitamins (B6 and C), and are very low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. Eggs are a great source of protein, minerals, vitamin B12 and healthy fats. Just the best for you.

Bon appétit!
