    Fluffy Pancakes with Peanut Butter Syrup

    Fluffy Pancakes with Peanut Butter Syrup - Vegan and Gluten-Free - Light Pancakes, Silky Syrup - from The Glowing Fridge

      

    Talk about a perfect weekend morning. Fluffy pancakes, silky sweet syrup, coffee, cozy pajamas and (insert your favorite tv show here). Or my favorite new movie, Endless Love (which I have been watching nonstop!). That would be a perfect start to any Saturday or Sunday. You have to make these yummy pancakes this weekend. They are easy! They aren’t difficult to work with and they won’t fall apart on the stove. I don’t make pancakes too often but once in a while they sound so good. Vegan pancakes took me a while to figure out… They always broke apart while I was trying to flip them and never tasted right. But let me tell you, I have figured it out AND they are way healthier than the standard pancake.

    For this recipe, I used a mix of oat flour and buckwheat flour which worked perfectly together and makes them gluten-free for any gluten intolerances or sensitive tummies out there. Buckwheat flour is a high-fiber, high-protein alternative to whole-wheat flour and is actually not even a wheat product, its related to the fruit seed. I love oat flour because it’s easily digestible as well. The ground flaxseeds help the pancake bind together and provide extra omega-3’s.

    I am sure you could use all-purpose flour and/or whole wheat flour if that’s what you have. These fluffy pancakes turn a nice golden brown color and the peanut butter syrup is insane! The actual pancake is slightly sweet, not too sweet, with a hint of cinnamon. And the peanut butter syrup is just plain mouth-watering.

    Pour the decadent syrup over your pancakes and throw on your favorite toppings. I added bananas and carob chips because I ran out of chocolate chips. The carob chips were still good but let’s be real.. chocolate chips taste way better and are not as bitter. Anything goes here, add what you love! Fruit, nuts, coconut whip – I am already brainstorming more pancake recipes ha.

    Pin Recipe

    Ingredients

    Scale

    Dry ingredients

    • 1 cup oat flour (ground rolled gluten-free oats)
    • 1 cup buckwheat flour (ground buckwheat groats)
    • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
    • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or sugar of choice)
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

    Wet ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or more, depending on your consistency preference)
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

    Peanut Butter Syrup

    • 4 tablespoons peanut butter
    • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 4 tablespoons warm water

    Instructions

    1. Preheat a large skillet/pan over medium heat. (Should be hot enough to hear that sizzle sound when your pour the pancake batter onto the skillet)
    2. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix. Add in all the wet ingredients and whisk together until all clumps are gone (you could mix the wet ingredients separately in a bowl and then add the wet mixture to the dry mixture if you want but I used one big bowl!)
    3. Spray non-stick cooking spray onto hot skillet.
    4. Scoop out pancake batter (about 1/4 cup) and spread out in a circle on the skillet. I did one at a time because my skillet is small. Wait until bubbles are forming and flip the pancake. Cook for a couple more minutes, until golden.
    5. Spray skillet again with cooking spray and repeat for the rest of the pancakes. Makes about 8 pancakes.
    6. While pancakes are cooking, you can prepare the peanut butter syrup.
    7. Add all syrup ingredients to a small bowl and slowly stir until all liquids mesh together to form the syrup.
    8. Pour syrup over pancakes along with your favorite toppings!
    9. Enjoy!

      I normally top my pancakes with peanut butter and syrup, but now I can’t wait to try out peanut butter syrup. The next time I have pancakes I will be making this!

    I’m so proud of The Happy Hormone Tracker and ca I’m so proud of The Happy Hormone Tracker and can’t stop staring at it! 🤩 here is what the inside pages look like. there is also a weekly reflection page that you’ll fill out after each week! you’ll be tracking month and day, cycle day, moon phase, cervical mucus, bleeding or spotting, symptoms, ovulation, pain/cysts and basal body temperature, digestion, overall mood, stress level, libido, sleep quality, supplements, nourishing foods, cravings, movement and lastly workflow or motivation! tracking these things will help you notice patterns. like for instance after ovulation, my mood is super low for a couple days due to the shift in hormones. so I can plan accordingly and know what’s coming!

    now that I’m studying to become a integrative he now that I’m studying to become a integrative health practitioner, I’ve realized to a greater extent how one way of eating may not be perfect for everyone. how being strictly #plantbased isn’t a top priority for everyone. how different we really are. I’ve recently come to accept this, even though I will promote plant based until the day I die. my feelings have evolved over time. I used to be more pushy and believe my way of eating was the only way! but the reality is, there is no one diet and it’s infuriating when doctors push one diet only! its what works for YOUR body and it can change over time (depending on many factors). while this may upset some people, this will be apart of my job. as a practitioner I will have to meet people where they are at and guide them with an open mind. I can’t assume or expect that everyone will want to be plant based tomorrow! while I can always promote “the more plant foods the better” type of mentality (and I promise you, I will!) there is something called bio-individuality, meaning “there is not a one-size-fits-all diet, each person is a unique individual with highly individualized nutritional requirements”. what I will also promote is intuitive eating and really tuning into what your body wants and needs, and allowing that intuition to sharpen and grow (and hopefully it leads to more plants 🌱😬). doing this takes so much practice… to trust what your body is telling you is hard and confusing in the beginning. I think the change for me was allowing what I wanted to eat at first and it slowly evolved to wanting to choose healthier options because I felt better that way, but also knowing when I need vegan mac and cheese or french fries or ice cream and not making a big deal out of it. and not labeling any food as “bad” but rather just “food”. this didn’t happen overnight though! tell me below - how have you become more intuitive with eating habits? how do you tune in? photo by @sarahiltonphotography & I put a little filter on it 💗 #intuitiveeating
    DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total c DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total crap, it’s essential to open up your drainage pathways first. although not glamorous to talk about, this is the most important step for any health protocol. setting the foundation… just like building a house. there are no quick fixes in detoxing! for example: you don’t want to jump into a parasite cleanse but have your detox pathways blocked… this includes making sure you are peeing, pooping, sweating and moving your lymph every single day. and when I say pooping, I mean 1-3 times per day. ideally 2-3 or after large meals. if you are constipated while killing off parasites, you are not going to feel good at all because they need to be eliminated quickly and if not, the pathogens/toxins they release can get re-circulated in the body. take it from me because I didn’t know about any of this while doing a parasite cleanse… I was bed ridden, had fevers, my face broke out, I was puffy and bloated. this was not fun at all! ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
>> So how do you open up your drainage pathways (and keep them open)? ⁣⠀
• proper hydration, ideally with mineral drops⁣⠀
• daily movement to break a sweat (I love using my @higherdose sauna blanket in addition to movement)⁣⠀
• balanced whole food diet: lots of veggies and fruit, fiber from real food, nothing processed, no refined sugar⁣⠀
• bowel moving herbs if you are consipated (bowel mover from Microbe Formulas), coffee enemas, tudca (to keep bile moving, liver support) and include a binder if you use any of these (I like bioactive carbon binders from Microbe Formulas)⁣⠀
- clean products: beauty, skincare, cleaning, etc⁣⠀
- air quality: open the windows, get a @airdoctorpro air filter, plants⁣⠀
- proper sleep: 7-8 hours⁣⠀
- healthy mind: mediation, yoga, breath work⠀
⠀
I hope you find this helpful! Let me know if you have questions below! #detoxprotocol #drainagepathways
