Basic Vegan Waffles/Pancakes

Buckwheat flour used here. Served with chocolate maple sauce, sliced banana, peach and dried strawbies.

This vegan waffle recipe is the best I've tried for vegan pancakes or waffles ever. It uses flax as an egg substitute, which may be a little inconvenient for you guys, but really I don't know what else can replace it! 

Waffle and pancake recipes can be used pretty much interchangeably. After all, waffles are pancakes but with abs.

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. 

Tiramisu Pancakes

Really sorry but it's exam period right now so this will be just recipe and no talk. These tiramisu pancakes are delicious and their nutritional profile is really good! I used cauliflower to make it moist resulting in fluffy low calorie pancakes :D The total is roughly 300 calories for me. Just after taking this picture, it started raining. So the inside-picture of these are crappy :( sorry. 

What you'll need

Pancakes: 

1/3 cup oats

1 egg

1 egg white 

1/4 cup cooked (steamed or boiled) cauliflower

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp or more coffee powder 

About 1 tbsp honey to sweeten (optional)

1 tsp oil to fry (on a non stick pan)

Topping:

Greek yogurt (I used about 1/2 a cup)

Cocoa powder 

Raspberries 

How to

1. Blend cauliflower into a paste. Add in oats and blend into a flour.

2. Add in remaining pancake ingredients and blend everything together.

3. Heat oil in a pan. Turn to low flame.

4. Spoon pancake batter on to the pan, about 4 tbsp each. Covering the pan with a glass cover helps to cook it better.

5. Flip and cook the other side. Repeat for remaining pancakes. 

6. Spread greek yogurt onto the pancakes to serve and top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder and raspberries. 

Papaya Pancakes

Hello and Happy Saturday! These papaya coconut pancakes are made using only 3 ingredients: papaya, eggs and coconut flour. They are paleo, gluten free, added sugar free, dairy free and really yummy. First time cooking with papaya and I'm really pleased with how these turned out. 

When I was younger I hated papaya. The big black seeds just grossed me out! Hahaha. But recently I was curious to how it tasted and decided to eat papaya for the first time in years. 

Chia jam filled pancakes

This was so fun eating. Nom. Imagine cutting into vanilla pancakes and have jam oozing out. All natural 2 ingredient strawberry chia jam.

Chocolate kiwi pancakes

This is just a variation of my usual cottage cheese pancake recipe but I'll just repost again! I have a feeling you can use less cottage cheese but I haven't tried it so :-)

Raspberry Coconut Pancakes

These are so good! I think this is my most successful attempt of coconut flour pancakes and one of the most perfect pancake stacks I've ever made! Had a tiny bit of left over batter so I made a baby pancake for my parents. It was so adorable. 

Mint chocolate pancakes!

Hello all!

So if you've been following my Instagram, you'll know that I fell pretty badly yesterday morning while jogging! I scraped/cut my knees, right hand, right shoulder and chin. I also shattered my iPhone 4...... so I got a new iphone 5!!! Yay! But don't be like "omg you're so lucky you got a new phone!" because now I'm all injured, can't exercise, can't wear jeans, have to shower in pain and walk around with pus dripping out of my knees -_-

The iPhone 5 has a great front camera!

Was supposed to make these pancakes yesterday but I couldn't because I was bleeding everywhere. Instead my mum made me a power bowl for breakfast! <3 

Glad I was able to make them today though because they are so good! I mean WHO doesn't want mint chocolate pancakes. I LOVE mint and chocolate together and when people are like "Ew I hate mint choc" I'm like WHY!?

Topped with choc pb sauce and slim secrets mint choc fit balls. Only used about two fit balls to top the pancakes so I ate the remaining fit balls that I didn't use. They are THAT good :)

Love when you slice into a pancake stacks and it feels like cake!! This one was especially like that because of the green and brown layers...... :)

I'm leaving lotsa paragraphs because I need space to insert all my pictures from this mornings "photo shoot" HAHAHA. Anyway enough rambling I know you guys want the recipe!!

Ingredients
1 egg
1/4 cup oats
2 tbs apple sauce/cottage cheese
1 tsp agave/honey
1/4 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp cocoa powder
1/4 cup Spinach
1/4 tsp Peppermint extract

For sauce:
1 tbs Peanut flour
1 /2 tsp cocoa powder
Water until consistency is right

Method
1) Blend egg, oats, cottage cheese/apple save, agave/honey and baking powder together in a mini blender/food processor/magic bullet.
2) Pour half of the batter out and blend remaining with spinach and peppermint extract.
3) Mix cocoa powder into the batter that you poured out earlier.
4) Fry pancakes in olive oil or any healthy oil of your choice!
5) Mix your sauce together and pour over. Top with slim secrets mint choc fit balls :D

Note: I'm really bad at dividing batter into equal halves which is why I didn't have an equal amount of chocolate and mint pancakes!

Blueberry banana pancakes

I've had so much good food lately it's been cray cray!

Had New Years Eve reunion dinner with my mother's side at a Chinese restaurant. It actually wasn't that unhealthy! Mostly meat dishes and only one rice dish at the end (which no one ate cos we were too full).

Yesterday morning I went to church. Then I visited my maternal grandfather's house. Ate yummy cookies and CNY snacks. Then I went to my uncles house and had lontong (with sayur lodeh) and a little bit of mee siam for lunch. Found out lontong and sayur lodeh are quite healthy yay.

Sweet potato pancakes and CNY

Happy Chinese New Year's Eve!

Today I have a reunion dinner and tomorrow I have lunch and dinner at my aunties and uncles houses.

Also, it's Saturday morning now and I only return to school on Wednesday yay! On Wednesday we'll be having a class party which I WILL take part in! Pizzaaaaa.

So obviously I won't be eating very clean for this period of Chinese New Year. But that's totally ok! Didn't have any treats in Jan and this can be my Jan + Feb treat meals combined. Besides CNY is only once a year!

Bacon pancakes

In a good mood since yesterday because my abs have been progressing!! Abs by birthday is becoming a realiteeeee <: Made bacon pancakes today served with agave and bloobzzzz. Omnomnomnom.

So quick and simple! I realize I post ALOT on weekends but that's cos I don't get to cook much on weekdays :( Ever since yesterday I've decided to start adding baking soda to my pancakes and look how fluffy these got!

Black Forest Pancakes

This was breakfast after 1/2h of abs and 1/2h of fasted cardio brisk walking! Healthy Black Forest pancakes in the house! I totally love when I cut into pancakes and it feels like I'm slicing birthday cake hehe. These were super fluffy because I used baking powder which I'm normally too lazy to add! So it definitely felt that way! Also please steam cauliflower before using it in your pancakes or your pancakes may taste kinda odd lol.

Apple pie pancakes

OMGG. These are so good I can't even! My mum tried it and loves them so these are good to even a non clean eater's taste buds! Not only that but they are so simple and quick!

Healthiepanda pancakes

As I was jogging today I was trying to decide what pancakes I should make for post workout. Apple pie? Raspberry? Blueberry? KIWI??? I decided on these chocolate vanilla panda pancakes!

Choconana peanut butter foldover

You know when I know something is good? When I take a gazillion photos of it and I'm unable to short list them. Picture spam in this post. I just HAD to capture all the angles of this dark chocolate and peanut butter stuffed, banana pancake fold over.
