Yummy Pancakes

Whole Wheat Blender Pancakes

• 1 1/4 cups water, skim milk
• 1 cup whole wheat kernels
• 1 egg
• 1 T butter or coconut oil (this is also somethings new that we have really started to like a lot)
• 1 T honey or Agave
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 T baking powder

In blender mix liquid and kernels of wheat on high for 3 minutes. Add egg, butter, honey, and salt. Blend for 20 seconds. Add baking powder and pulse until mixed. Mixture should foam up and get light- add more water if needed. Cook on a hot nonstick griddle.

The other one is my new favorite. I found the recipe from one of my favorite blogs
Wheat Free Protein Pancakes

• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese
• 2 eggs or 4 egg whites
• 1 tsp vanilla (Mexican Vanilla is our favorite)
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1 TBL canola Oil or Coconut oil

Blend ingredients in a blender. Don’t over blend though. cook on a non stick griddle.
We really like these pancakes, but do have to double the batch for our family. My son is a carb junkie. All he ever wants for breakfast is cold cereal or pancakes, so I feel a whole lot better giving him these because there is really good stuff in them and he doesn't know the difference!
Both these pancake recipes are VERY filling. One to two pancakes are enough for me.
To top the pancakes off I like to put a little water in a pan with frozen peaches, strawberries or blueberries and then add 2T agave to make a syrup. Heat on low with lid on until the fruit is warm and a bit mushy.

On the other pancakes we used my Sugar Free Freezer Jam and bananas, oh and a little bit of whip cream {can't leave that out}!!

Egg Caca

When I was little my sister came home with the best recipe from her friends mom for Crapes.
It is actually called Egg Caca, don’t ask me why because I have NO clue, but that is what they grew up calling it, and what we grew up calling it. I changed the name for the title because I didn’t want to turn you all off from reading it. Call it what you may it is so yummy and we love it!! Here is the recipe

Original Recipe for Egg Caca
1 c. Milk
1 c. Flour
2 T sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
4 eggs
dash of salt
Mix well and put on pan, crape maker or we do it on the griddle and smooth them out flat with a spoon.
I like to put butter, syrup or Jam and powdered sugar on it.
Here is the version I make now…

Healthier Recipe for Egg Caca
1 c. Milk
1 c. Whole Wheat Flour
1 T Agave, or 1 T Steviva
1 tsp Vanilla {I prefer Mexican vanilla}
4 eggs {Free Range or Organic}
dash of salt
Mix well and put on pan, crape maker or we do it on the griddle and smooth them out flat with a spoon.
I now cut up fruit to go in the middle and roll it up and put a little Agave over it!!

YUMMY!!

Hope you enjoy, they are SO good.

Broiled Grapefruit Crisp For Breakfast

I LOVE Grapefruit!! My little Jack Jack and I can eat 3 a day. The Tangy/Tart fruit with an underlying sweetnees is so yummy to me.

I saw this recipe the other day for Grapefruit and just had to try it. Let me tell you…It was SO YUMMY!! I had it for Breakfast and it was very filling and super quick to make. I even burnt my first one and made another one really fast!

Broiled Grapefruit Crisp

• Stir the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a small bowl; add the butter and mash with a fork to incorporate oat mixture into the butter. Spread about half of the butter mixture over the top of each grapefruit half.
• Cook under the broiler until the topping is golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. ENJOY!

Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

So you might think these look like ordinary pancakes, but they aren’t. They are A. MAZ.ING! I got the recipe in my Blendtec cookbook and adapted it to the way I like it.

I always hate to take food pictures, It’s not like food is photogenic and since I don’t have a really nice camera and can’t really make it “look” better, it is what it is!

On this picture I said, “smile” and it actually did…

Anyway, onto the recipe. These pancakes are super moist, delicious and pretty darn healthy.

Apple Cinnamon Pancakes {from the Blentec Cookbook}

1 1/2 cups milk

1 1/2 t olive oil

1 apple cored and quartered {leave peel on}

1 1/2 t baking powder

1/2 t salt

2 T Agave or Sucanut

1/2 t cinnamon

1/2 t nutmeg

1 Cup Wheat Grain Flour

Mix all in blender and blend until ready. These were sweat enough that they really didn’t need anything on them. We did put a little agave on top though.
