I love weekend breakfasts. In our home it's a time to slowly enter our day, catching up on devotions, time with our fur babies and enjoying time in the kitchen together. And, as I've said before, I'm in love Everlast Vegan Protein Powder. It's a clean, gluten-free, vegan blend of rice, pea and hemp protein. With 22 grams of protein, NO sugar and non-GMO, it's a star of my regular breakfast rotation. It's also something I give to all my nutrition clients who include rice in their diet. But sometimes smoothies, like anything, can get old morning after morning. Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE smoothie fan. I love juicing and getting in multiple fruits and veggies in one cup, but as we are moving into Fall, with slow, cozy weekends on the agenda, sometimes a warm, comforting breakfast is the only way to go. Pancakes have always been one of my favorite Sunday breakfasts. As I focus on eggs, good quality meats, vegetables, organic fruit and smoothies during the week, on weekends I like to make something yummy and warm for Mr. Charming and I. There are so many ways to make pancakes grain-free, gluten-free and sugar free. It's not a breakfast that has to be fat and sugar laden. However, I also don't want to forgo receiving my protein, amino acids and vitamins on the weekends, so I bring out my vanilla Everlast protein powder to make my super star Knockout Pancakes. These gluten-free / dairy-free pancakes are delicious, fluffy and moist, packed with ingredients that will sustain you for your weekend activities. Find the recipe below and let me know what you think when you give them a try! Ingredients: 1/2 C. Gluten Free Oat Flour (I use Bob's Red Mill) 1/3 C. Organic Egg Whites 1/3 C. Dairy-Free Yogurt of choice (I use So Delicious Coconut Milk Vanilla) 1 tsp. organic vanilla extract 1 Scoop Vanilla Everlast Protein Powder Directions: Whisk wet ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. Fold in dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Heat your greased griddle or frying pan (I use vegan butter or coconut oil) on medium heat. Slowly pour on batter until circle is desired size and flip with a spatula when edges start to turn a golden brown. Serve with fresh fruit, organic honey or breakfast sausage.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup raw sliced almonds 1 cup raw cashew pieces (or walnuts or pecans) 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 6 tablespoons unsalted EB dairy free, soy free butter 1/2 cup honey INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Cover a rectangular baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the almonds, cashews, coconut, seeds and spices together in a large mixing bowl. Heat the butter and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the butter melts stir in the vanilla. Pour the hot liquids over the dry ingredients and stir together with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Spread mixture onto prepared pan in one even layer. Bake for 75 minutes. The granola will become crisp as it cools at which point you can break into pieces (if making bars) or break it up into small chunks by pounding it in a zip lock bag (if making cereal). Store in air tight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. |

aboutNosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me. What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet. I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. For more of my story you can click here.
All recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free with a lot of soy-free, grain-free, sugar-free options. |
