Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Maple syrup for serving
  • Additional banana slices for topping
  • Extra walnuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, mashed bananas, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about another 2 minutes.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  7. Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with warm maple syrup, and top with banana slices and additional walnuts before serving.

Notes

Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.

For the best banana flavor, use ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots. They will make your pancakes naturally sweet. If you want to make these pancakes healthier, you can substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or oat flour.

Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a toaster or microwave. You can also freeze them for up to a month; just separate each pancake with parchment paper before freezing to prevent sticking.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 cups water or milk
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and water or milk, then bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, chopped apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
  5. In another bowl, mix rolled oats, chopped nuts, brown sugar, and melted coconut oil until combined.
  6. Spoon the quinoa mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup to the top. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly on top of each cup.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy with yogurt or milk if desired.

Notes

Tip: For added flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the quinoa mixture before baking.

To ensure your quinoa cups hold their shape, be sure to let them cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin. If you’re short on time, you can prepare the quinoa ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Feel free to experiment with different fruits such as pears or berries, or add nuts and seeds for extra crunch. These quinoa cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week and can be easily reheated in the microwave.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
  • 4 cups sparkling water
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes for serving
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Muddle the fresh berries in a pitcher to release their juices.
  2. Add the sliced ginger to the pitcher and gently crush it using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release more flavor.
  3. If desired, stir in honey or agave syrup to sweeten the mixture to your liking.
  4. Pour the sparkling water over the muddled berries and ginger, stirring gently to combine.
  5. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the ginger-berry infusion over the ice.
  6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and additional berries, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip: Adjust the sweetness based on your taste preference; the natural sweetness of the berries may be sufficient without added sweeteners.

For an extra kick, consider adding a splash of lime juice or a few sprigs of mint for garnish. You can also switch up the berries based on what you have on hand—strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries all work beautifully.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, but note that the fizz will diminish over time. If you want to prepare this in advance, keep the ginger infusion separate from the sparkling water until just before serving to maintain its effervescence.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • Powdered sugar for garnish
  • Orange zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, combine water and butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Bring to a boil.
  3. Stir in the flour and salt all at once, and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Then, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and shiny.
  5. Transfer the choux pastry to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe small mounds (about 1 inch) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until puffs are golden brown and puffed up. Turn off the oven and let them cool inside with the door slightly ajar.
  7. For the filling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold in orange zest, saffron, and orange juice until well combined.
  8. Once the puffs are completely cool, use a small knife to cut a slit in the side of each puff. Fill the puffs with the orange-saffron cream using a piping bag.
  9. Dust the filled cream puffs with powdered sugar and garnish with additional orange zest before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For best results, serve these cream puffs the same day they are made to maintain their light and airy texture.

When making the cream puffs, ensure that you let the choux pastry cool completely before filling to prevent the cream from melting. If you find the filling too runny, you can chill it in the fridge for a bit to help it firm up.

For variations, feel free to experiment with different citrus flavors, such as lemon or lime, or try incorporating a splash of vanilla extract for added depth. These cream puffs are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
