Recipe: Oatmeal pancakes with chocolate cream

Sometimes the easiest recipes are the best. Sometimes you just need to combine two recipes into one and they make a perfect couple. Sometimes you need to experiment in kitchen - I rephrase that - you need to experiment in kitchen always. I showed you recipes for both dishes, but let's combine them today :) ...

Recipe for oatmeal cookies HERE.
Recipe for avocado mousse/pudding: HERE.
Ingredients:
50 g oatmeal
1 banana
1 tea spoon of coconut oil/butter
1/2 avocado, deseeded, scooped out
1 table spoon of cocoa powder (unsweetened)
2 table spoon of maple syrup
dash of cinnamon
raspberries


Preparation:
1. Mash a banana, add oatmeal. Mash both ingredients together until well combined.
2. Put a tea spoon of coconut oil/butter in a hot pan. Form little pancakes/cookies with a dough you just created and fry them on both sides until slightly golden. Transfer on to the plate and set aside.
3. Put avocado in a food processor and process. Add maple syrup, cocoa and cinnamon. Process again until well combined.
4. Spread chocolate cream over the pancakes and garnish with raspberries on top. Serve. :)

See. Super easy and delicious.

Let me know what you think, if you tried it. Have a lovely day.

Recipe: I scream Ice cream!

There's one food I can't say no to: ice cream! But all ice creams that you get in grocery stores are full of nasty ingredients that our body doesn't need. I am also slightly dairy intolerant, makes my stomach hurt, so big company ice creams are a total no no for me. Today I'll show you how to prepare super simple and inexpesive ice cream. Nutritous, delicious and guilt free!



Ingredients:
- frozen strawberries (I think I used 12 of them ;))
- one frozen banana (I suggest you slice it and put in a plastic container before putting it into freezer)
- 1 tsp of peanut butter

Preparation:


I suggest you use strong food processor/blender for this recipe. I put frozen banana in food processor first and processed it. I added strawberries and processed again.


At the end I added one teaspoon of peanut butter and mix one last time, so everything is well combined.


If you are allergic to peanuts, you can add other nut butter, and if you're allergic to nuts, you can use one scoop of protein powder or coconut flour or flakes. I always try to incorporate some sort of protein source when I eat fruits. Fruits are carbohydrates full of natural sugars and protein helps to stabilize your blood sugar. Also, you'll feel fuller for longer time.

Let me know if you tried this recipe out and how you liked it ;)
