~ Whole Wheat Pancakes ~ Serve these delicious pancakes with maple syrup and your choice of fresh fruit. This recipe comes from my very talented sister Rhonda. Gracias chica!
1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp non-aluminum baking powder
1 tbsp dry sweetener
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil
1/4 cup flax seed gel (see recipe below)
1 1/4 cups non-dairy milk (e.g., soy milk, almond milk, or rice milk)
1 tsp pure vanilla
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk dry ingredients together.
- In a separate bowl stir oil, flax seed gel, non-dairy milk, and vanilla together.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir together until smooth.
- Pour desired amount into hot skillet. Turn once bubbles begin to appear on the top.
For best results, use a cast iron skillet. Be sure to coat it first with a thin layer of oil. How to Make Flaxseed Gel: You can use flaxseed gel instead of eggs. It is very inexpensive and easy to make. Add 1 tbsp of flaxseeds to 1 cup of water. Boil on medium heat for approximately 10 minutes. Strain the gel right away (or you may not be able to get the seeds out). Allow the gel to cool. It will thicken as it cools down.

1/4 cup dried pineapple chunks
2 tbsp shredded coconut
10 almonds, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
3 – 4 brazil nuts, coarsely chopped
Mix the apple, raisins, pineapple, coconut, almonds, sunflower seeds, and brazil nuts in a bowl. Pour on your favorite milk and enjoy! Makes 1 serving
~ Creamy Cashew Milk ~ This cashew milk is smooth, creamy, and delicious. A definite winner in my books! Enjoy it alone or over cereal as part of a healthy breakfast. 1 cup cashews (soaked overnight, then rinsed and drained)
4 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup pitted dates
1/2 vanilla bean
1/4 tsp of sea salt
Directions for a regular blender: Blend cashews in 1 cup water until smooth. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add them along with the remaining ingredients to the blender. Blend again until smooth and creamy. Blendtec or Vita-Mix directions: Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. No need to de-seed the vanilla bean first since both blenders are powerful enough to grind everything up. Note: You can add more or less water to create the consistency you prefer. Be sure to store your cashew milk in a covered jar in your fridge. Shake well before using. *$$ Saving Tip: Don’t throw away the empty pods from your de-seeded vanilla beans. Place them on a paper towel and leave them out to dry for a few days. Once they are completely dried, grind them up in a coffee grinder and store the powder in a clean glass jar with a lid. Use the vanilla powder instead of vanilla extract in your favorite recipes.
