Living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be super complicated…
In fact, having kids has forced our resident healthy lifestyle advocate to streamline & find ways to provide options that don’t eat up your time!
(See what we did there? Pun totally intended!)
Hey, Rochelle here & let me start by saying healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated!
I get it — life is beyond busy & those grab to go, single use items look amazingly convenient! But the reality most are as bad for your body as they are for the planet…
So I’ve been sharing my recipes with friends, families & fellow parents for a long time & decided to start this series for easy reference.
Give it a go & watch your cravings for processed sugar dwindle away!
– WHAT YOU’LL NEED –
– DRY –
1 cup whole wheat flour (or dietary substitute)
1/2 cup oats
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup ground flax seed
– WET –
1 ripe banana mashed
1 cup grated veggie (carrot, zucchini)
1 lrg egg
1 cup milk (rice, almond, etc)
2 tbl Genuine maple syrup
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbl oil (we use coconut oil)
– STEPS –
- Mash banana in a large bowl
- Peel & grate veggie of choice — typically 1 zucchini or 2-3 carrots
- Add all wet ingredients accept rice milk
- Add flour & oats (do not mix)
- Add remaining dry ingredients on top and mix slightly to distribute the baking soda & salt
- Add milk & mix thoroughly
- Add a bit of milk if the consistency is too thick… just a little at a time.
- Heat griddle or pan to medium heat
- Use 1/3 cup measuring cup to optimize pancake size
- Flip once the pancake starts to get air bubbles
- Add chocolate chips, dried fruit or nuts of choice after they are on the griddle (before you flip) for an extra fun meal!
- You may want to taste the first pancake to see if you need to add any maple syrup. Majority of sweetness comes from the veggies & banana but ripeness will play a factor
- These freeze well so fee free to make a double or triple batch!
