Make or Break PANCAKE

With a twist on the old pancake for breakfast, we will make some delicious pancakes, using some healthy and nutritional ingredients, from scratch.

Ingredients list:

• Virgin coconut oil
• Rolled oats (organic)
• Buckwheat hulled (organic)
• Chia seeds (flax seeds instead for a nutty flavor)
• 6 eggs
• Clean and fresh water

INGREDIENTS

Method:

In a small saucepan, heat the coconut oil. You can also use ghee. We will post a recipe for making ghee later. Then put aside to use later.

Using a coffee grinder or similar, grind up a ratio of two cups of oats, two cups of buckwheat and half a cup of chia seeds.

GRINDING THE INGREDIENTS

In a bowl, mix the flour and water. Crack eggs first in a separate bowl to ensure they are fresh. Add to the mix. Add water making sure the consistency is not running and not too thick, similar to that of a flour pancake.

MIXING THE BATTER

Heat the oil, ensuring excess is removed. Add a half of a ladle of the mixture. It is ready to flip over when edges are turning brown.

FLIPPED PANCAKE

Remove from heat and serve with your favorite topping.

Feedback:

• Taste like wholemeal but yum!!
• Like hippy food from Byron Bay.
• Nice texture. Close to normal but healthier.
• Like an oat pancake but surprisingly enjoyable.
• Good base but needs more flavor - Would be nice to try with blueberries.

TIP:

• For leftover mixture and pancakes, add spices for a savory version.
• Add banana into mixture and bake like a sweet alternative.
