Vanilla Pancakes

You'd never know these delicious fluffy pancakes were vegan. I'm enjoying being proved wrong regarding my scepticism on the vegan versions of some traditional favourites. These tasty, super light and fluffy pancakes were absolutely scrumptious, my husband and dear friend couldn't get enough of them! This will certainly remain on the brunch menu for the future.

 Ingredients
(Serves 2-3)
  • 125g Gluten Free Flour
  • 1 tbsp. Coconut Sugar
  • 2 tbsp. Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Bicarbonate of Soda
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 250ml Coconut Milk
  • 1 tbsp. Coconut Oil
  • 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Vanilla Pod
  • 1 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar 
  • 1 tsp. Maple Syrup

  Method

 Combine all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt) in a bowl.

 Add all the wet ingredients to the dry (coconut milk, coconut oil, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup) and mix until smooth.

 Deseed the vanilla pod and stir into the mixture.

 Set a pan on the hob on medium heat until hot. Now spoon one pancakes' worth of the mixture into the pan at a time.

 When bubbles start to appear and the edges look slightly stiffened your pancake is ready to flip over.

 Once ready set aside and repeat the process until all the batter has gone.

 Serve with mixed berries and Maple Syrup.

Chickpea Burgers

I am conscious of what I eat during the week and that variety is important so not to get bored and reach for the biscuit tin, time is also a big constraint on what goes on the menu. The last thing I want to do after a long day’s work is sweat over a hot stove for hours on end, so I am always looking for simple, quick and more importantly TASTY options to bring to the dining table. Ingredients: 1 can of chickpeas 1 carrot 2 shallots 1 large egg 2 tbsp breadcrumbs Salt & pepper Ground Cumin Cayenne Pepper Grate the carrots and chop the shallots finely (or whizz in a food processor with the grater attachment), transfer to a pan with a little olive oil and sweat for a few minutes to sweeten the shallots slightly, set aside.         Drain and rinse the chickpeas and put them into a food processor with all the spices, salt and pepper. Slightly pulse for a rough and chunky paste. Stir in the carrot, shallots, egg, and breadcrumbs unt...

Crispy Baked Potatoes with Rosemary & Parmesan

This side dish goes with anything and happens to be a childhood favourite of mine... Ingredients: (Serves Four) 1kg, Maris Piper Potatoes Extra Virgin Olive Oil Rosemary 1 clove of garlic, whole   Salt & Pepper Parmesan, grated Preheat oven to 200C - with the baking tray inside. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into small pieces and dry with kitchen towel. Take the heated baking tray from the oven and place on the hob (medium heat) adding a generous drizzle of olive oil, potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary. Mix well making sure the potatoes are well coated. Roast in the oven for at least 35mins, during that time turn the potatoes regularly with a spatula to ensure an even colour. Add the grated Parmesan and roast for another 5-6mins. Remove the potatoes from the oven, season to taste, then serve. For a touch of naughtiness add some tasty diced pancetta, delicious!     Tried It? Like...
