Chocolate Banana Pancakes!


Makes 18 servings, 32 calories per serving :)

Although keep in mind, each pancake is pretty small (around 3 inches)

Ingredients:

3/4 cup of Flour

3/4 cup of Skim/Non-fat Milk

2 Egg whites

2 Tbsp of Cocoa (I used Meijers hot cocoa mix which is 36 cals per tbsp!)

2 tbsp of baking powder

1 dash of Salt

1/2 medium Banana

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, egg whites, baking powder, milk, salt and cocoa until smooth

2. Slice the 1/2 a banana into small slices

3. Heat the griddle or frying pan on low heat. (If you decide to use oil, add those calories, I use cooking spray!)

4. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle or pan, use approximately a tablespoon of batter for each pancake. 

5. Add banana slices onto the pancakes as they cook.

6. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Enjoy!

Five-Minute Carrot Cake
1/4 cup spelt flour (or white flour, or Arrowhead Mills gf)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 “egg” of choice (flax, chia, or 1/2 tsp ener-g. If you must, you can omit completely. It just won’t rise as well.)
1.5 tablespoons xylitol or brown sugar (coconut or white sugar will also work)
1 packet NuNaturals stevia (or 1 more tablespoon sugar or xylitol)
1/3 cup canned carrots, drained (or steamed carrots, peeled) (for a variation, sub with 1/4c pureed pumpkin) (60g)
1 tablespoon milk of choice
1 tablespoon oil or more milk of choice
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
In a small bowl, mix dry ingredients (not carrots). If you have a blender (or Magic Bullet), mix all wet ingredients and blend. (Option for those without a blender: simply fork-mash the carrots very well before combining with the other wet ingredients.) Then mix dry into wet and stir.  Pour into greased ramekins, a little dish, or a mug. If using the microwave, cook for 1 minute 20 seconds (or more or less, depending on the strength of your microwave). Or you can cook this in the oven at 350F for around 15 minutes. Let cool before trying to pop out. Serves 1-2.Entire recipe is 140 calories with 0.5g of fat, 3g of fiber, and 2.5g of protein.
