Eat-Clean Recipe :: Incredible Hulk Pancakes

Hi guys, 

are you equally intrigued by the post title? Good.

I have said countless times that Eating-Clean is never boring, it's never about eating the plain ol' tasteless chicken boobies or steamed broccoli, no! 

Research has shown that when you make the effort to prepare your meals, you are less likely to eat more as you tend to appreciate the effort. Gotcha just kidding! It's actually my own theory, which is super helpful. I actually appreciate the meal, taking time to savour the food, and eating it slowly in order to taste its full flavour and to enjoy it properly. 

[Tips: (1) Make the effort to prepare your meal, and (2) Eat slowly.]



Yes, it is healthy, and no, it does not contain any food coloring. Go as natural as possible! It's unbelievable how Spinach can give such a vibrant color, and good thing is there is no way you can taste the spinach. So, this recipe works best for people who just hate greens, trust me, it's a sneaky way to get the fibre from 'em.

So sharing with you my most favorite recipe, hope you enjoy it like I did!


Recipe
(Servings: 1)

Ingredients: 
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats flour
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 stick stevia 
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 15 g skimmed milk powder (or oat flour if no milk powder)
  • 1 whole egg + 1 egg white
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce/ pumpkin puree/ mashed banana
  • Handful of baby spinach or 2 stalks of Chinese spinach
  • Optional: few mint leaves
Directions: 

1. Blend the spinach first, then mix in all the ingredients until a smooth batter is formed.
2. Preheat a non-stick pan over a medium heat, pour the batter. Cook for about a minute till golden brown, flip over and cook for about 30 seconds.
3. For chocolate sauce: 
          - Mix 1.5 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tbsp soy/ almond/ skimmed milk and stevia to taste.
          - Store in fridge, serves best when cold
4. For white coconut sauce: 
          - Mix 1/3 cup unsweetened soy/ almond/ skimmed milk, 1/8 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, 1/4 cup               fat free cottage cheese, and honey to taste
          - Store in fridge, serves best when cold

Tips:
(3) All ingredients are easily available at Cold Storage, Singapore. [I am not sure whether these products are available in Jakarta, but try to get the closest similar ingredients if possible.]
(4) Make your own oat flour just by blending or grinding rolled oats till a flour-texture is achieved.
(5) Go for unsweetened range of products, and skip those products that contain sugar, chances are it is the infamous corn syrup.
(6) Use non-stick pan to skip the unnecessary oil, or you can use healthy nut oils like Macadamia Nut Oil or Extra Virgin Olive Oil. 

Perfect recipe for any time of the day, and remember, you can't go wrong with pancakes! ;-)

Enjoy this, and don't forget to credit if you want to share this with your friends. 

Eat clean and stay beautiful! :)
