Carrot cake pancakes.
Delicious & nutritious, you definitely will not regret making these for breakfast. Or snack. Or for any time of day!!
Protein Carrot cake pancakes
½ cup quinoa flakes
1 scoop protein powder (You can also use flour instead of protein powder, I have tried buckwheat & brown rice and both work. Around 1/4 cup).
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp Stevia or sugar
1 tbsp sultanas
½ cup grated carrot (1 small carrot)
½ tsp ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg
1 tsp chia seeds mixed with 1 tbsp water (let sit 5 mins)
¾ cup almond milk (Give or take so add it slowly)
1 tsp coconut oil melted
Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl and add chia mix, milk & melted coconut oil
You may need a bit more milk, just see how it goes when you are mixing
Fry in pan until cooked each side.
Cashew cream topping
I honestly can't remember exact quantities here as threw everything together without writing it down! It was about:
1/4 cup cashews soaked in water (only an hour or so)
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp coconut milk
1 tsp maple syrup
lemon zest
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
Blitz cashews in a good blender until smooth. You may need to add some milk depending on how good your blender is.
Add other ingredients and blitz again.
I have just estimated these quantities. You may have to adjust depending on sweetness from the maple and sourness from the lemon zest.
