Sourdough Pancakes


These whole wheat, sourdough pancakes are pretty legit.  I especially love the tanginess that the natural yeast adds.  This is a great option to incorporate into your breakfast rotation.  We have a Saturday morning pancake tradition at our house, so it's nice to have a few different options to mix things up a bit.  These were a hit, and as a bonus, they're oil-free, sugar-free, nut free (if you use rice milk rather than a nut milk), entirely whole wheat, and plant based....AND...super fast and easy to whip up.



First off, combine your bananas, applesauce, plant milk, dates, natural yeast and vanilla in a high speed blender and mix.  Oops, I forgot to include the vanilla in this picture apparently, but you get the idea.


Whisk together your dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt) in a large bowl.



Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and whisk together until well combined.




On an electric pancake griddle preheated to 375 degrees, ladle batter onto the grill.  I use just shy of one soup ladle full of batter per pancake, and can cook 6 pancakes at a time this way.  Flip pancakes when they start to look cooked around the edges and any bubbles around the outside perimeter start to pop.

Cook for a few approximately the same amount of time on the second side, remove, and serve.  I like to top mine with fresh fruit and my Coconut Whipped Cream.

Makes about 16 - 4" pancakes.

Enjoy!

Sourdough Pancakes
By Lise-Anne Michel {Plum Planted}
Makes about 16 - 4" pancakes
Plant Based, Vegan, Oil-free, Refined Sugar-free

Ingredients:
2 small bananas
6 T applesauce
2 c. plant based milk*
1 c. natural yeast (sourdough starter)**
12 small dates, pitted
1 t. vanilla 

2 c. ground whole wheat flour***
1 T. baking powder
1 t. salt

Method:
1. Combine bananas, applesauce, plant milk, natural yeast, dates, and vanilla in a high powered blender until smooth.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
3. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and whisk together until well combined.
4. On an electric pancake grill preheated to 375 degrees, ladle pancake batter.

6. Cook for approximately the same amount of time on the second side.
7. Remove pancakes from grill and seve.

*I use unsweetened almond milk.  Rice milk would work well for a nut-free alternative.
**If you don't have a sourdough starter, increase your plant milk and your flour to 3 cups each.

Coconut-Cashew Tiger Ice Cream

Hope you all are enjoying your summer as much as I am! I have been DYING to write this post for a while now!  I am absolutely loving this ice cream recipe, and I know that it'll be a hit at your house too.  I have always been a fan of Tiger ice cream, and when we went plant based and dairy-free, I wasn't about to accept the fact that I might never taste it again.  I have been experimenting for a while now, doing a load of researching and looking for natural food dyes and gut health helpers, as well as ratios of flavours etc.  After lots of experimenting, the results are better than I would have expected!  The black liquorice ice cream is coloured with food grade, activated charcoal , which is great for gut health, and the orange ice cream is coloured with both sweet potato and a bit of turmeric to add not just colour, but also anti-inflammatory benefits and a little extra hidden goodness!  I can now honestly say, this one is a gooder!  I will even ...

Sourdough Banana Bread

Mmmm...Banana Bread.  Who doesn't love it, am I right?!?  Even my child that absolutely hates bananas, LOVES banana bread.  And this is the kind of banana bread you really can feel good about eating because it's chuck full of healthiness!  Yay!!!!  Plus, if you have a sourdough starter and are into getting that yummy, tangy goodness into your gut, this is another recipe to add to your repertoire.  If you don't have a starter, there's modifications you can follow in my recipe tips.  This recipe is actually modified from my lovely friend Kelsey's Sourdough Banana Bread recipe.  She gave me permission to change a few things to make it conducive to my Whole Foods Plant Based lifestyle, so it is now completely free of refined sugar, oil and animal products.  So here goes... My kids usually convince me to throw chocolate chips into the banana bread (I actually found some that are both dairy-free and sugar-free, but man are they expens...

"Cheesy" Italian Pizza Buns

These Pizza Buns save my sanity Every. Single. Day.  I make them every 2.5 - 3 weeks, and it keeps me from having to make sandwiches every day for my 3 school aged kids.  Life Saver, I'm tellin' ya.  I've been making them for close to 5 years now, and I'm still going strong, because it really is soooo worth it.  I just store them in the freezer, and pop a few out every morning (or put some in the fridge the night before) as needed. For a long time I made these pizza buns with regular all purpose flour, which admittedly works great, and results in larger, puffier Pizza Buns...but as I'm trying to steer clear of refined flour these days, I've been making them lately with my own ground whole wheat (I use hard white wheat). After you've ground your wheat, measure and dump all the dough ingredients into the inner compartment of a bread machine. Select the dough setting, and press start.  My machine takes about 2 hours to complete the dough c...
