Breakfast to-go

 

Have you ever woken up late? or just didn't have time to eat breakfast before going to work/school? Ending up skipping the breakfast rather than being late?
I am sure you have, just like me :) 
Well.. I have good news for you, with this breakfast to-go you will not need to skip the "most important meal of the day" again: you can just take it with you on the road. Even better news is that it only takes literally 3 minutes to prepare :) You can then assembly it at work or wherever you are, and eat it when you have time. Perfect, isn't it? :)


What will you need:
- 1/2 cups of gluten-free oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp of hemp seeds
- a handful of a mixture of dried fruits (mulberries, pineapple, goji berries - or whatever berries you have at home)
- 200 ml of millet milk (or any plant-based milk you like)
- 1 banana (optional)  


Method:
  1. Place all dry ingredients into a glass, which can be easily sealed (oats, chia and hemp seeds, dried fruits). 
  2.  Pour the milk into a smaller glass. I used an old smoothie glass for this:)
  3. Pour the milk over the oats once you are ready to eat. Top the oats with the sliced banana. Wait a few minutes until the oats soak up the milk. If you need more liquid, just add a bit of water (warm if you like).  
  4. Enjoy this quick and healthy breakfast wherever you go :)

New years banana pancakes


Happy new year to everyone. I haven't been posting for a while, because I was away for the holidays. I hope you had a wonderful time with your friends and family:) We have started our new year with these cute little pancakes in our brand new pancake pan, which we have received for Xmas :) I guess my family already knows, that we are pancake addicts :P

here is what you will need:
- 1 cup of spelt flour
- 1 cup of oat-bran (oats cut very thinly)
- 2 cups of rice milk (you can use as well mineral water or any other plant based milk)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 tsp pure vanilla
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp cardamon (optional)
- a pinch of salt
- pinch of nutmeg 
- 2 tsp baking powder (phosphor free)
- 1 tbsp sugar beet syrup (or maple/date syrup)
- date syrup, banana and walnuts for topping


  1. Start with mashing the banana with a fork.
  2. Combine gradually all ingredients in a mixing bowl and add the mashed banana.  
  3. Leave the dough to sit for 10 minutes, so that the oats can soak up the liquid. Add mineral water or plant-based milk, if the batter gets too thick. The batter should be fairly thick, but thin enough to drip from the whisk.
  4. Coat a skillet pan with a bit of coconut or olive oil and heat it up to medium heat.
  5. Take a part from the dough and pour it to the skillet making a circular form.
  6. Cook the pancakes on medium until little bubbles are formed and outer edges become golden. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden.
  7. Top with date syrup, walnuts and bananas :)

Enjoy :)
