Eggless Wholewheat Pancakes

Happy weekend, everyone!
So for today's breakfast, I decided to try taking eggs out of my pancakes, just for the sake of cutting down the cholestrol and calorie intake a little, (and maybe eat that egg seperately, just saying). The result was better than I imagined.
This is a very easy recipe, simple enough to follow without looking back at your phone/ipad/tablet to double-check its ingredients/procedures every 2 minutes. They're super fluffy and just sweet enough for them not to be too sweet nor too non-sweet, if you know what I mean.

Here it goes.

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup wholewheat flour
2. 1 Tbs sugar substitute
3. 1 Tbs baking powder
4. 1 cup skimmed milk
5. 1 Tbs oil
6. 3 Tbs water
7. 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Procedures:

● Mix all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon) in a small bowl.
● Whisk wet ingredients together, then add them to the dry ones and use a spatula to mix everything well.
● Scarcely oil (or use cooking spray on) a non-stick pan, and use a 1/4 measuring cup to unify the size of your pancakies.
● Flip your pancake when bubbles start forming on the surface.
● Yields about 5-6 small pancakes.
● Serve with fruit, yogurt, applesauce, or melted dark chocolate for a healthy breakfast, snack or dessert.

Please leave me a note if you try it.

Healthy Red Velvet Wholewheat Pancakes

The weekend is the perfect excuse to have pancakes for breakfast. They are a little celebratory and essy to make, so what's not to like? 
I wanted to add a little twist to this weekend's pancakes, so I thought of adding some red food colouring for a sexy effect. Heck, it did work!
This recipe is a staple in my house, and I like to play around with it every now and then. You can get really creative with its add-ons and decorations.

As usual, excuse the crappy photo.
I sprinkled some strawberry chocolate chips on top, just for the sake of the pic, and Lily ate them as soon as the flash went off!


This recipe yields 4 - 5 small pancakes. You can, of course, double the ingredients to get double the number of pancakes.

Here's what you'll need:

- 1 cup wholewheat flour

- 2 tsp sweetener/honey

- 1/2 tsp baking powder

- 1/4 tsp baking soda

- 1/2 tsp vanilla

- 1/2 tsp cinnamon  (or more)

- 1 egg

- 1 cup milk

- 1 tbs apple cider vinegar

- 2 tbs oil (coconut is lovely here)

- 1/4 red food colouring (or until you get a vibrant red-coloured batter)

- Optional: Raisins/fruit pieces/nuts

Procedures:

1-In a small bowl, combine milk and vinegar, set aside until milk curdles.

2- In another bowl, combine flour, sweetener, baking powder and soda and cinnamon.

3- In a small bowl, whisk the egg, vanilla, oil and curdled milk until well-incorporated.

4- Gradually pour the liquid mix onto the dry mix while whisking slowly.

5- Add your food colouring in small amounts and whisk after every addition until you reach that red velvet colour. Don't over-mix or the pancakes would be tough. The batter should be a little lumpy and bubbly.

6- You can now add whatever you'd like, i.e. raisins/fruit/nuts/dark chocolate chips

7- Lightly brush a nonstick pan/griddle with coconut oil. Heat it over medium heat.

8- Ladle the batter and pour into the pan. I like to keep my pancakes small and even by using a 1/3 measuring cup as a ladle. 

9- They are ready to be flipped oncy tiny bubbles form on the surface.

10- Makes about 4-5 pancakes.
