I post a lot of pancakes/waffles...I make them all from scratch, and usually they turn out one of a few things...1) too dry 2) too eggy 3) too flat OR 4) too crumbly...
•••
•••
BUT a few weeks ago I hit a home run in the pancake department...
•••
•••
As promised, here is my PERFECTED pancakes recipe! Essentially gluten free, refined flour free, no added sugars, and packed with protein from Greek yogurt + Eggs. Perfect balance of complex carb + protein + healthy fat (when I top with PB)
I made little bunny butts 🐰 to celebrate Easter! •••

#deats
Dry ingredients: 1 cup old fashioned oats, 1/2 cup almonds, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp cinnamon Wet ingredients: 2 eggs, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used non fat), 1-2 T vanilla extract, coconut oil for greasing griddle
Directions: preheat griddle to 350 degrees. In a high powered blender, add oats and almonds and blend until a fine powder consistency. Add flour to mixing bowl and mix in salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. In a separate mixing bowl, add eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix until desired consistency (add more milk if needed). Grease griddle with 1 tsp coconut oil and add 1/4 cup pancake batter to griddle (cooking 3-5 cakes at a time for efficiency). When pancakes begin to bubble, they’re ready to flip. Top with your faves OR make cute little bunny butts ••

Where all my Reese’s lovers at? 🙋♀️ •••

•••
Reese’s eggs are the best Reese...don’t ask me why, they just are 😂 So I decided to make a more nutritious version that you can feel good about serving your family this weekend! •••

These are essentially refined sugar free (minus the trace amounts in the 85% dark chocolate coating). Using dates, natural peanut butter, coconut flour & oil, and dark chocolate—these babies are a sweet treat that won’t leave you in a sugar coma.

Today I start the #springslimchallenge with @sarah_thebeautyhunter and I’m excited to see what my body can do...
•••

I’m already very active, but I fall short in keeping up with strength training regimen...I’m a cardio queen and have to make myself strength train...but with the proper attitude, I can learn to love strength training just as much and watch my muscles thrive...

It’s all in your attitude! Do something to better YOU today. 😀

What did you meal prep this week?
🥑🥕🥗
Truth time. I get pretty burnt out on eating the same.thing.all.week.long, which is why I struggle with meal prepping...BUT I’m learning to prep my veggies and proteins on Sunday so I can mix and match throughout the week...
🥗🥕🥑
For example, today the hubs and I are having Cobb Salads for lunch (crockpot chicken thighs, chopped veggies, organic spring mix, extra sharp chedda cheese, boiled eggs and 🥑). I may want that again during the week, but the beauty of these ingredients is that I can make wraps, sandwiches, or pair with a whole grain for meal variety! The options are endless. 🥕🥑🥗

🌸Spring is here 🌸 which means fresh and bright produce coming our way soon!

One food that makes me think spring and Easter is carrot cake 🥕🥕🥕 so I decided to make my version of carrot cake in bread form!! Best part?? It’s easy, healthy, 100% vegan, and 💯in the taste department. •••
•••
I use walnuts in this recipe because they taste great AND are nutrition super foods...there’s even a new study out there stating consumption of 2 ounces of walnuts daily for 2 weeks straight suppressed the growth of breast cancer tumors in diagnosed subjects...more research needs to be done of course, but hey, I’ll take those odds! •••

Confession: I’m the world’s WORST pancake and waffle maker...sure I can make the batter fine, but when it comes to executing to make the perfect finished product that is golden on the outside and fluffy in the middle, I fail.
•••
•••
•••
But you know what, I don’t even care because these were delicious, and for the last day of #nationalnutritionmonth (sad, I know) I experimented with coconut flour and made waffles...I’ve only used coconut flour one other time...so I’m happy with the turn out. •••
•••
#deats **makes 5 waffles, freeze what you don’t eat for quick brekky’s during the week 😊
1/2 cup coconut flour, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, dash of cinnamon, 5 eggs, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 3 T melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce, 1 tsp vanilla. Mix all dry ingredients in medium sized mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix well. Preheat waffle iron and add 1/2 cup batter and cook according to machine directions. Serve with your favorite toppings!
I added chocolate chips to the batter for the hubs bday today!! •••
