1 Comment

So week 1 of the 21-Day Fix Extreme is almost complete and I have to say all of the recipes we’ve tried so far from the nutrition guide have been AMAZING!!! I decided to save these for the weekend and make enough for both Saturday and Sunday mornings and they were a hit for the entire family!!!

Cashew ‘N’ Oat Hotcakes

Image-1

Makes 10 servings, 2 hotcakes each – 1/2 Purple 1 yellow, 1 teaspoon

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 1 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1 dash Himalayan salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 TBS coconut oil, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 5 cups mixed berries

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

1. Pulse oats, cashews, salt and cinnamon in a food processor or blender until coarsely ground.

2. Add egg, oil, water and vanilla extract; pulse until well blended

3. Heat medium nonstick skillet, lightly coated with spray, over medium heat.

4. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter into skillet for each pancake; cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbles form on top (I found a large cookie scooper to work the best for making them even!!!)

5. Flip with spatula and cook for 30 seconds

6. Repeat with remaining batter

7. Serve pancakes topped evenly with berries

I opted to use blueberries but my hubs did a mixture of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries!!!  I love that these are gluten free and contain coconut oil – two things I’m trying to make part of my routine!!!

These little perfectly balanced protein pancakes – aka – MANCAKES have taken off in my house! It started when I was helping my hubby with his meal plan and was in the middle of a 3-day refresh. I watched him make them for 3 nights and decided this would be my first non-vegan food item when I was finished! And I have been hooked on them ever since!

Here’s the thing – they’re so versatile! You can add more or less oats…you can do just eggs, just egg whites or a combo of egg and egg whites…all depending on your own preferences and goals! Plus my little guy likes them so its a bonus score!

I’ll share with you the 21-day fix/Insanity Max: 30 approved recipe I use along with my husband’s.

 

WHAT YOU NEED

Her recipe (21 day fix approved) – Yields 4-5 pancakes

  • 1/4 cup quick oats – 1 Yellow
  • 4 Egg whites – 1/2 Red
  • 1/2 cup berries or 1/4 of a banana – 1/2 Purple
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

His recipe – Yields 12 pancakes

  • 1.5 cups oats
  • 6 Egg whites
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 banana or 1 cup berries
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

  • Preheat pan to medium heat.
  • Combine the Egg/Egg whites, oats, vanilla and cinnamon. You can do this in a bowl if you want to leave the oats ‘whole’ or in a blender if you like a smoother, more pancake-like consistency. Stir or pulse a few times to combine.

  • Add fruit and pulse until you get the desired consistency you like!
  • Using a 1/4 cup, pour into pan, cooking each side about 2 minutes or until you see the edges forming. Flip once. Let cool and store in air tight container or eat immediately!

The one thing I LOVE about these is that you can eat them hot or cold, in the car, or running around – which fits my lifestyle perfectly!!!

My husband prefers a banana in his and blended smooth where I prefer the berries and more like a oat consistency.

Honestly though – you can’t go wrong! They’re so tasty and the fact that they’re also gluten free is just an added bonus!
