Pancake Tower

Posted at 6:26 AM by Brittany, on June 8, 2013

I am a firm believer that a picture can speak a thousand words.

Take these sky high pancakes for example. I don’t need to tell you that these were delicious, moist, decadent, amazing, FILLING, and some of the best pancakes I have ever eaten. The picture does an excellent job describing all of that to you on its own!

I’ve been craving pancakes like crazy the past couple weeks. I haven’t had pancakes in months, and I consider pancakes to be the epitome of a lazy morning breakfast. In a good way. After discovering I had all the ingredients I needed, I finally made myself a tower.

Classic Fluffy Vegan Pancakes

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp raw sugar
2 tbsp baking powder
1 cup vanilla almond milk
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp apple sauce
2.5 tsp vanilla
cinnamon

Directions: Combine your dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside. In a separate bowl combine your wet ingredients and then add them to the dry ingredients. Stir together until there are no visible clumps. I took cinnamon and completely covered the top of the wet mixture. No measurements, just a LOT of cinnamon! Stir the cinnamon in and cook!

You can choose how big to make these, but once they start to form bubbles flip them over to cook the other side. Serve with bananas and maple syrup, or any other fruit/toppings you would like! All I was missing was some coconut whipped cream!

I am almost ashamed to tell you I ate this entire batch by myself..almost. What can I say I was hungry and these were so good, but you already knew that from the pictures. 😉

I do have a confession though, I like my pancakes a little…mushy. I LOVE pumpkin pancakes because they come out so soft and almost like they are under cooked. I took these pancakes off the griddle just a tad bit early to have some softness on the inside.

That’s the joy of eating the whole batch, you can make them however you want! To really heighten your lazy morning experience, I highly suggest serving these with a cup of coffee.

Q: Pancakes or waffles? WAFFLES for sure, but I don’t have a waffle maker haha. When it comes to waffles I like mine CRISP, no mush with the waffles.

Breakfast Of Champions

Posted at 12:27 PM by Brittany, on January 12, 2012

We have all been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It breaks our overnight fasting, and jump starts our day. On days that I am able to casually wake up, I like to make a breakfast fit for a nutrient craving king.

The plate must start with half fruit.

Apple and orange

Then add protein.

Eggs and peanut butter

Lastly add the pleasurable item of the meal, because what is a good meal without something to indulge in.

Morning star sausage patty with sharp cheddar on a homemade biscuit

ALWAYS save the best for last. Even if it’s just one bite.

Homemade biscuits

2 cups of all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 450.
In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add coconut oil and mix until dough resembles a crumb like texture.
Add milk and stir with fork until the dough pulls away from the bowl.
Roll, knead, and love the dough on a floured surface until no longer sticky. Roll into a log.
Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Cut dough log into 1/2 inch thick pieces, or larger if you desire, and place onto the baking sheet. Spray or rub olive oil on the tops of the biscuits and put into the oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Enjoy!
