Power Packed Pancakes
Ingredients
1 medium Sweet Potato, chopped
½ Banana
125 millilitres/ ½ cup Whole Flax Seeds (or ¾ cup Milled)
125 milliliters/ ½ cup Chia Seeds
2 Eggs
Meat and Water from 1 Fresh Coconut (approx. 375 millilitres/ 1.5 cups)
1 pinch Himalayan Pink Salt
½ - 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 generous pinch Pumpkin Pie Spice (optional)
1 handful Goji Berries
1 handful Cacao Nibs
125 grams/ 1 package Blueberries (optional)
1 handful fresh Cherries or Strawberries (optional), sliced
Coconut Oil, for frying
Preparation
-
Chop the sweet potato small enough that your blender will be able to process it smoothly. Place in blender.
-
Rough chop ½ the banana and add to blender along with the flax seeds, chia seeds, eggs, coconut meat and water, salt and cinnamon. Process until smooth.
-
Mix in the goji berries, cacao nibs and blueberries (if using). If using strawberries or cherries, slice and add to the batter.
-
Heat a little coconut oil in a fry pan or skillet over low heat. Spoon the batter to make small pancakes. Cover with lid and cook until brown and crispy. Flip and cook other side a few minutes until cooked through.
-
Serve with sugar free maple syrup, dry fruits, or fresh fruit, or simply enjoy on its own.
Cooks Note
Serve these pancakes with a little sugar free maple syrup for a wholesome breakfast that will keep you going all morning, or as a dessert or snack, whenever you need a guilt free sweet fix.
Note: Adding fresh berries to the mix is not the ideal food combination, especially for diabetics, so they are optional, but sure taste great!
