When you’re plant-based it can be
hard to find things that are acceptable to eat. I am a pancake lover and a lot
of times pancakes have buttermilk, eggs, cow’s milk, and sometimes butter in
them. Because of this I tend to make my own pancakes. This morning I made
oatmeal pancakes and they were fantastic! I substituted the oil with apple sauce,
the milk with almond milk, and the eggs with an egg substitute. The eggs can
also be substituted with a mixture of flax seed and water.
My mom made some candied walnuts that
I chopped up and added to my pancake mix. It gave them a nice little sweetness
and crunch.
For my pancake toppings I just
decided to go with almond butter and natural maple syrup. It tasted so good! If
you want to use butter, just substitute Earth Balance instead. You can buy it
at Hy-Vee or New Pioneer. You can also put fresh berries or sliced bananas on
top!
Another great way to start off the
day is by making a smoothie. You can use vegan yogurt and almond milk, and
whatever fruits you want. You can even sneak some veggies into it as well. I
like to add kale to my shakes for extra vitamins. It makes the smoothie green
but, you can easily hide the taste. If you want to make it sweeter adding agave
nectar is a great way to do that.
