Paleo Gingerbread Protein Pancakes

Well well well. The festive flair was bound to kick in sooner or later, and along with discovering a 'rubbish free' mincemeat so I can soon invent paleo mince pies, I made THESE!
Sometimes I have to pat myself on the back haha! (if you want to make these for kids, just omit the hemp protein and add a little more coconut flour.)

For the Pancakes.
- 2 eggs
- 1 heaped tsp natural blackstrap molasses
- 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour (Ground Almonds)
- 2 tbsp Coconut Flour
- 1 scoop Unflavoured Hemp Protein
- 2 heaped tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

For the Topping
- 1 Tbsp Creamed Coconut Melted
- 1 Tbsp Cashew Butter
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- a drop of Vanilla
- 1 heaped tsp Raw Chocolate Tropical Nut Spread (or similar)
- Handful of Pecans
- Sprinkle of Raw Cacao Nibs

* Heat a good non stick pan on low.
* Mix eggs and molasses well in a bowl. the molasses will take a while to mix well, if you're struggling, add your almond flour now.
* Add almond flour, coconut flour, protein, ginger, cinnamon and sugar and mix.
* Now add your almond milk slowly until you get a thick cakey mixture.
* Spread your pancakes into whatever shape you wish (grab a gingerbread man cookie cutter and add it to your frying pan to make your pancakes fun for your kids!)
* Allow to cook slowly until bubbles appear across the top, then flip.

* While your pancakes are cooking, mix together your melted creamed coconut and cashew butter, cinnamon and vanilla until smooth.

* Once all your pancakes are cooked, pile them up, scoop your chocolate spread on, pour over your cashew cream mixture and sprinkle over your pecans and cacao nibs...

Most importantly, ENJOY! These guys may be my favourite invention yet. PERFECT for Christmas! And taking out the protein they are perfect for all the family for Christmas morning!

Paleo Maple Cinnamon Protein Pancakes

I've been neglecting posting all of my recipes for a few days, sometimes it's because I'm terrible at making them up as I go and forgetting what I did ha!
These guys deserve a big mention though!
I'm currently suffering the 'lady' cravings, and these definately hit the spot, although I want to add that although these are paleo and clean, you don't want to be eating these ALL the time like my other pancakes... These guys have a higher sugar content from the maple syrup.

Pancakes

- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 scoop natural hemp protein
- 2 tbsp almond flour (ground almonds)
- 2 heaped tbsp coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Toppings

- 1 heaped tsp raw chocolate hemp spread
- 1 heaped tsp raw pecan butter
- handful of pecan nuts
- drizzle of pure maple syrup

* Put a good non stick pan on LOW heat.
* Mix together egg whites, almond milk and maple syrup.
* Add your protein powder and almond flour and mix well.
* Now add your coconut flour a little at a time and mix. The reason for this is because coconut flour can dry mixture out very quickly if too much is used. You want a thick cake consistency.
* Add your cinnamon and mix well until all combined and smooth.
* Add mixture to pan in whatever pancake shapes you fancy and be patient to let them cook on LOW so they don't burn. Once the top has bubbles across the top it's time to flip them.
* Scoop on your chocolate spread, and pecan butter, sprinkle on your pecans and then drizzle over the syrup.
* Trust me, you want to enjoy these ones! AMAZING!

Paleo Banana Protein Pancakes with Warm Blueberries

This is my favourite breakfast go-to.
Quick, easy, tasty, clean.

- 2 small banana's mashed
- 2 egg whites
- 1 scoop hemp protein
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 cup of frozen blueberries

* Put a good non stick pan on LOW heat.
* Mash your banana's and mix with the egg whites until combined.
* Add your protein powder, cinnamon & ginger and mix well again.
* Pour into whatever pancake shapes take your fancy, wait for the top to bubble across, then flip!
* Meanwhile, put your frozen blueberries in a microwave safe bowl.
* Microwave for around 2.5mins, but keep an eye on them. You want them bubbling but not exploding.
* Serve your stack of pancakes, pour over the blueberries, and enjoy!

Paleo Carrot & Cauliflower Protein Pancakes with Homemade Turkey Sausage Patties & Avocado

So, someone requested the recipe for these guys, so here it goes!
I'll sort of have to remember, as I create things as I go along ha!

Turkey Sausage Mix (Shape into whatever takes your fancy :) )

- 500g Turkey Breast Mince
- 2 Red Onions
- 10 Brussel Sprouts
- Black Pepper
- 2 Egg Whites

* Grate the onions and sprouts into a bowl. Add black pepper to your liking, then add the turkey mince and egg whites and work together well with your hands.
* That's it! When you're ready to use it shape into whatever you wish and dry fry or bake! (Takes longer to fry than pancakes so I always set these off cooking before I make my pancake mixture)

Carrot & Cauliflower Protein Pancakes

* 2 Egg Whites
* 1 Cup Almond Milk (either use agave sweetened or add 1tbsp Honey)
* 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
* 2 Scoops Unflavoured Hemp Protein Powder (If you use an alternative and it's vanilla flavoured, then just omit the above vanilla)
* 1 tsp Spirulina Powder (optional)
* 1 cup Almond Flour (Ground Almonds)
* 2 tsp Cinnamon
* 1 tsp Ginger
* 2 tsp Paprika
* 1 Carrot (grated)
* 4 Large Cauliflower Florets (grated) this is roughly 2 cups of grated cauliflower.

* Put good non stick pan on LOW heat.
* Mix together egg whites, almond milk and vanilla.
* Add protein powder, spirulina, almond flour, cinnamon, ginger and paprika and mix well.
* Add your grated carrot and cauliflower and give a final good mix. Mixture should be thick, and if using hemp and spirulina will be dark green :-) ha!
* Cook pancakes in whatever shapes you like on low heat, when bubbles appear all across the top then flip and cook the other side...


Finally!

* Stack your pancakes up, arrange your sausage patties on top and then slice up half of an avocado and serve!

PS - Don't buy hemp protein especially, I know whey isn't paleo, but if you are lenient in your protein powder choices then whey protein will add extra tastiness to these bad boys!

PPS - Turkey sausage mix will refridgerate or freeze so you can use when you fancy!

PPS - So will pancake mix...

PPPS - Going now! Lol!
