Mmmm… fluffy pancakes with peanut butter, bananas, and syrup.
Ingredients
1 cup unbleached white flour
1 cup wheat pastry flour
2 tablespoons raw sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups soy milk (or almond/rice milk)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Process
Mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix with a fork (don’t use electric beaters). Cook as usual.
Note that it is baking powder, not baking soda.
It’s all of September 12th and I’m running short on blogging ideas! So, today I’m doing a Thirsty Thursday meme that I may repeat for the other Thursdays this month. And, because it’s been a zillion degrees this week, it seemed appropriate to make it a nice cold drink.
Ingredients
2 ripe bananas, frozen (freeze them with peels off)
1-2 T natural peanut butter
1-2 T vegan chocolate syrup
1 cup non-dairy milk
Process
Throw it all in the blender and pulse until the bananas break up. Then blend to smooth. Add additional non-dairy milk to your desired thickness.
It’s a milkshake with some added nutrients, no cholesterol, and fairly low in fat. Yay!
I love ice cream. I LOVE it. Vegan ice cream is ok, but it’s not easy to find brands that are really good, and almost all of them are very pricey. So, I’ve worked out what is a perfectly good substitute for me. And, you can make it yourself with a blender or food processor and some simple ingredients.
Ingredients
2 bananas, peeled and frozen overnight
1/4 cup of soy, almond, rice, or coconut milk (more if a milkshake)
Your choice of additional flavors, including peanut butter, chocolate syrup, cookies, chocolate chips, nuts, other fruits, preserves
Process
Chuck the frozen bananas and non-dairy milk into your blender or food processor (I like the processor for “ice cream” and the blender for a milkshake). Blend until smooth adjusting liquid as needed. Add additional flavorings.
Eat and enjoy!
Two of my favorites are to add chocolate and peanut butter and make it a milkshake, or to add frozen or fresh strawberries. Yummy, not that bad for you, low in added sugar, and easy.
