THE easiest pancakes you will ever make!

Quick and Simple breakfast right here- Banana pancakes with only 2 ingredients.
And did I mention they are DELICIOUS! Your kids will LOVE them!!
Top with some good quality coconut cream and nuts and you have a delicious rounded meal to start your day.
Full of protein, good fats and carbohydrates to nourish and fuel your body.

Recipe:

1 Banana

2 eggs

1 egg white

Method:

Pop all ingredients in a blender and whizz until bubbly.

Over a low heat, melt a little coconut oil in a pan and drop in 3-4 tablespoons of mixture.

Flip once it starts to bubble.

This mix makes about 3 pancakes.

Remember not to have your pan too hot as the natural sugar in the banana will burn very easily.

Top with whatever you like- I have used coconut cream, organic maple syrup, walnuts and some bee pollen.

You could top with berries, coyo, more banana, or a raw chocolate avo mousse for a special occasion. 

Perfect gluten free, dairy free, paleo friendly meal.

Choc chip almond cookies

Everyone loves a good choc chip cookie. Well, I do anyway. On the weekend my lovely husband came home from Subway with 3 yummy cookies- one for Pip, himself and....me... not that I could eat them...he forgot. Gluten and me do not mix, and as tempting as they smelt, the memory of the belly ache that would follow is enough for me to not think twice at sneaking a bite.

So today I thought I'd try my hand at cooking up a delicious cookie that we could all eat. And these did not disappoint! Gluten free, dairy free, vegan, egg free, refined sugar free. Worthy of an omnomnom get-in-ma-belly tag.

The smell that filled my house when cooking these babies was enough for me to risk burning my tongue when I snuck one straight off the baking mat (delicious, but not recommended).

Raw super muesli slice

I love a healthy, filling snack. No carb highs or sugar crashes in this house please! This slice is loved by my 3yr old- she helps make it and loves that it is smothered in 'chocolate'

I put a mix of nuts, medjool dates, goji berries, cacao powder,rice malt syrup, and coconut oil in it, and top it off with 'chocolate' (cacao and coconut oil) 

I normally don't measure any ingredients- but next time I make it I'll try my hardest to write down what and how much and add it here.... 

Raw Chocolate banana cheesecake

This was my second attempt as a raw cheesecake. My first can be found here. It is totally decadent, rich and filling- everything you would expect from a full fat, dairy filled, sugar laden, naughty dessert...all of which this is NOT! Everything in this cake is good for you- bananas, cashews, cacao, coconut oil.... omnomnomnom!
