Bacon wrapped sweet potato wedges

Made some simple baked sweet potato wedges wrapped with crispy turkey bacon! So good fresh out of the oven. Especially if you love sweet potatoes like yours truly. Turkey bacon may not be super healthy but it isn't too bad if you make sure it's low in fat, sodium and most importantly nitrate free. Besides its pretty delicious. 

Chocolate Chip Bacon Donuts

This morning I got up bright and early just bursting with excitement to use my new mini donut pan. I bought it with some of my Christmas money the other day and it's been sitting in my kitchen cabinet begging me to use it ever since. 

Delicious donuts for me to eat! 

In case anyone of you asks, I got it from kitchen capers a wonderful little cooking shop along kallang bahru. I wanted the normal sized donuts but they were all sold out, so I settled for the mini donut pan! The donuts are smaller than they look in the pictures above. You'll see! 

Anywho I decided to make clean chocolate chip donuts, frosting with maple greek yogurt and sprinkled with crunchy little bits of turkey bacon! I basically used a pancake batter and baked it haha. 

You can sub the greek yogurt in the donut batter with cauliflower purée and use dairy free chocolate to make it dairy free. I just love the protein added by greek yogurt! 

I made 11 mini donuts and I ate 9 of them for breakfast. Not the slightest bit guilty because each donut is roughly about 35 calories INCLUDING TOPPINGS. I wouldn't mind eating the whole batch of donuts ;)

My process of frosting these cutie piess, or should I say donuts:

Fluffy Elvis Pancakes

Apparently, Elvis Presley loved peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwiches. So here we have it. Elvis pancakes! Fluffy vanilla maple pancakes layered with turkey bacon and banana coins, drizzled with peanut butter sauce. MMM. I promise you can't taste the cauliflower in the pancakes, plus they make the pancakes so fluffayyyy. I didn't even use baking powder! 

What you'll need

1 egg

1 egg white

1/3 cup oats

1/4 cup steamed cauliflower

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp maple syrup

2 slices reduced fat, low sodium turkey bacon

1/2 banana, sliced

2 tbsp peanut flour 

How to

1. Blend oats and cauliflower together to a paste. Add in eggs, vanilla and maple syrup. Blend everything together into a batter. 

2. Fry the bacon in a non stick pan. Do not use oil as the bacon is already oily. 

3. Use the bacon oil leftover in the pan to fry your pancakes. Over low heat, spoon 3 tbsp of batter onto the pan. Cook both sides of the pancake. Repeat 3 times to get 3 pancakes!

4. Layer pancakes with banana and bacon. 

5. Stir peanut flour with water to get a sauce, and drizzle over pancakes.
