D.I.Y- Vegan Banana Pancakes! (+ Pancake with Caramel filling)

Have you ever felt the time when you really wanted to eat something you didn't eat for a long time and you search for the recipe and eventually see that you can't eat it because you're vegan?
Well you came across the right post. Today I'll be sharing with you guys my recipe for Vegan Pancakes. Shall we start?

INGREDIENTS: (around 10+ servings)
-1 banana (if you don't like banana you can use coconut butter)
-1 cup of soy/almond milk
-200 ml of all purpose flour
-2 tsp of baking powder
-1 tsp of vanilla extract (you can add lemon peel. I personally think it's better but didn't have some)
-1 pinch of salt

STEPS:

-First of all take a banana and mash it or blend it until smooth.

-Add the milk, mix well, then add the flour. If you see that the mixture is too thick, then add some more milk. It shouldn't bee too liquid nor too thick.

-At last add the baking powder, vanilla extract and salt. Mix well. Baking powder will make our pancakes sponge like, very fluffy
-Heat a pan and oil it (you don't have to do it but it's to make sure the pancake won't stick to the pan and burn)
-When the pan is hot take a large spoon and scoop some mixture and cook it
-Try to make small pancakes but if you prefer you can make them bigger. To understand if it's ready to turn it you have to look at the bubbles it forms. Once you lace the mixture on the pan you'll see some bubbles popping and reforming. Once you see the bobbles stopped popping and you see some holes it's time to turn them. Take a spatula and turn them/it. Once you turned it see if it gets off the pan by scraping it off. If so your pancake is ready to put on a plate

-Use all the mixture and....You're done!
Serve on a plate with some maypole syrup or jam. Any topping you like... and ENJOY!

ALTERNATIVE:
I made an alternative to a simple plane pancake. If you're curious then keep on reading! :D

Since I had quite a lot of mixture for just one person I tried doing something new. I did a pancake, caramel sandwich. It's just basically a pancake with caramel inside. Here is how you can make it:

-Instead of placing the mixture on the pan, then flipping it. You simply want to place some mixture on the pan, get your caramel (by caramel I'm talking about caramel cream) and place it at the center of the pancake.
-After you see the bottom one is cooked add a second layer, a "lid".
-Pour a second spoon of mixture right on top of the pancake and turn it.
-After it's cooked you now have a Pancake Sandwich :D

Don't they look exactly like "real" pancakes??

Check these two pictures. Look how fluffy they are! So good!

I think this is really a great alternative to Simple Pancake and it's really good because you don't even have to add a topping! You have it all inside.

Today I told you two recipes using the same ingredients. When I did the pancakes I was so surprised how fluffy they were. I thought since I didn't use any egg they could come flat, but using the baking powder it made them super fluffy. I kept on touching them. So fluffy xD They were really tasty and delicious. I ate them plane but you can eat them with anything.( I was so surprised in how many recipes banana fits perfectly. I'm starting to think that banana is my main ingredient in a lot of my daily food!)
One thing, you want to make sure you eat them the same day if not they'll harden and they won't be as good as before.

I hope you you enjoyed this recipe and will try it out yourself. A easy and healthy alternative to pancakes. 

I hope you'll try different toppings and different ways to eat them xD

D.I.Y.- TEA Latte

Did you even have those days where you didn't know what to do? Well I had one and tried to experiment something I never tried to do before. Tea with Milk. I know in some places it's pretty common and you'll be thinking it's pretty lame, but for me it was a new thing.

INGREDIENTS:
-1 mug of green tea (I bet it works with any other type)
-1/4 of milk (i used my mug to measure)
-2 tbsp of condenced milk or any other sweateners

LETS START:

-First of all prepair your tea and let it cool down.
-Put the sweatener and the milk together in a cup and mix

-After the tea cooled down add it with the milk

 -Mix well and you're DONE!!

Easy, sweet, relaxing drink. 

I really like this combination of "milk" and tea

Hopw you enjoyed and will try this in the future :D

D.I.Y- Green Smoothie (green powder)

Are you tired or out of green veggies? But still you want to have a nice fresh, healthy and fast Green Smothie? Well you came across the right post :D
Today I'll be introducing a new ingredient I recently came across these days. What I'm talking about is: "Wheatgrass Powder"What this is it's basically wheatgrass in a powder form. If you didn't know wheatgrass is very healthy for you. I know you may think that this is what cats or dogs eat but it contains minerals, amino acids, vitamins, clorophyll, and enzymes. They even say it has curative benefits(?) It's even gluten-free so no worry!
Wheatgrass is a good source of potassium, a very good source of dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, iron, zinc, copper, manganese and selenium, and has negligible amount of protein (less than one gram per 28 grams). Adding other foods with complementary amino acid profiles to this food may yield a more complete protein source and improve the quality of some types of restrictive diets.
So it's a healthy thing to integrate in your daily smoothie or diets.
You can even grow it on your own and juice it or buy it in a powder form like I did. Really cheap!

After all this long information lets go to the actual recipe for a nice Green Smoothie! ^_^

INGREDIENTS:
(1 person)
-1 banana
-half a cup of milk (this time I used hazlenut "milk")
-1 tsp of wheatgrass powder
(Optional)
-1 tbsp chia seeds

LETS GET STARTED!
-First of all, in a blender, combine the banana, milk and wheatgrass

-Blend untill smooth

-Serve and enjoy

(optional)

-Add the chia seeds

You're Done!

Wasn't this really easy? It even had a few ingredients! Really tasty and fast too! 

Doesn't the color look so pretty?

I really like the taste of this because it's not too sweet or too herby. It's just tasty at the right point xD

I enjoyed making it even tho it took like less then 5 minutes to do it. 

In the future I'll try to experiment different tastes with the wheatgrass powder combining different ingredients. 

I hope you had fun doing it with me and hope you can try combining different things too :D

If you're interested in the Wheatgrass Powder I used and more info about it, I'm willing to share it only with you guys <3
