Vegan Banana & Oats Pancakes

vegan-banana-pancakes

I’ve (sadly) had to steer clear of pancakes for breakfast because they make me feel sluggish for some reason… actually I’m noticing that a lot of “starchy” foods like rice, bread, and pasta makes me feel all slow-mo (but this is for another post).  Certainly not how I want to start my mornings!

Sooo… I was absolutely THRILLED to give this recipe a spin!  I mean, c’mon… oats, bananas, chia seeds, and almond milk? These are ingredients my body associates with yumminess and energy boost!  This baby is super easy to make, healthy, vegan (fyi – I’m faaaar from being a vegan and even I love this stuff!), and incredibly YUMMY!

Banana & Oats Pancakes

Print Pin Rate Save Saved!
Servings: 8 Pancakes

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups oats
  • 2 cups non-dairy milk I used almond/cashew milk... omg yum!
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • 2 large/4 small ripe bananas
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds
  • Coconut oil for cooking

Instructions

  • Add oats to blender/food processor and run until oats turn into a fine powder. (This is strictly a personal preference. It makes the batter smoother!)
  • Put all items into a large bowl and blend. (I simply add the remaining ingredients into the blender and blend!)
  • Lightly oil your non-stick pan and spread with paper towel. Heat on low-medium.
  • Pour/scoop a small amount of batter onto pan. Pancakes should be small and thick.
  • Cover pan. When the top-side of the pancake begins to bubble, flip!
  • Let the other side cook. Peek at the underside after a minute. When it’s nice and brown, your pancake is ready!
  • Top with fruit, nuts, syrup, whipped cream, powdered sugar... whatever you choose! (I used sliced bananas, walnuts, chocolate, and drizzled with caramel sauce!)
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy!

So, hai! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Single momma here with So, hai! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Single momma here with a premed with an INSANE schedule between classes at 2 colleges, volunteer work, and club activities... Holy freakin... I signed up to be driver because there’s literally no time between his classes & activities... omg we were out ALL DAY 🤪   
   
Wiped out is an understatement... so my future heart surgeon treated me to K-bbq to give me a break from cooking 😁🙌🏻 #score!   
   
First time at @masterkimslv and they did not disappoint! We had 👉🏻 beef bulgogi, NY strip steak, angus short ribs, beef brisket, rib eye, angus kalbi, beef tongue, beef intestine (joshua is the brave one who will try anything once), pork belly, steamed egg, cheese corn, and green tea ice cream (sorry no pic because food coma)...   
  
Great atmosphere... friendly staff!!! 😁👍🏻  
   
Thank you, son!!! 🙏🏻🥰❤️   
   
Wishing y’all a happy Wednesday!

I know it’s all in my head... but as my son’s I know it’s all in my head... but as my son’s 2nd semester at UNLV approaches, the lazier I feel... and I’m not even the one going to school!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 
 
So needing a time-out from the kitchen, I grabbed a couple of quick yummies from @chankoshabu ... 
 
✔️ Salmon Bowl (salmon & salmon egg on steamed white rice. The salmon was supposed to be raw but ended up cooked by the steamed rice lol... if taking home, I suggest you request them to separate the protein 🐟) 
 
✔️ Takoyaki (octopus balls 🐙 lol) 
 
✔️ Menchi Katsu (panko breaded ground meat) 
 
✔️ Tuna Poke (tuna with poke sauce and seaweed salad) 
 
✔️ Kaki Fry (Japanese fried oysters with Tartar sauce) 
 
Everything tasted sooo oishii! 😋🤤💕 and the restaurant looks beautifully authentic Japanese... I’m definitely going back to dine in!!! 
 
Have a fun Sunday!

Oden (Japanese one-pot fish cake stew) 🇯🇵🍢🍲     
    
I must confess... I was born in Japan, but have never ever had ODEN. 😱     
   
This simmered dish usually includes daikon, boiled eggs 🥚, fish cakes 🍥 , and konnyaku stewed in a dashi broth for about an hour 🍲     
    
And being an anime addict, I see this dish served all the freakin time... I’ve been telling myself I have to try it. Kept putting it off for years... until now. 🙆🏻‍♀️    
    
I totally forgot to throw in the eggs & konnyaku 🙈... but it came out pretty good regardless. The daikon came out soooo tender and delicious, having absorbed the broth... omg you could slice them with chopsticks! 🥢🇯🇵🍱    
    
I guess this counts as a blooper as well... but I’ll post again when I make it properly! 🙋🏻‍♀️    
    
Happy Friday! 🎉

Raindrop Cake #fail 😭🙅🏻‍♀️    ( Raindrop Cake #fail 😭🙅🏻‍♀️ 
 
( Note: I’ve reactivated my personal IG account @carmenasakurai ... please come connect... I’d appreciate not being left all by myself... 🙏🏻 ) 
 
This was my first attempt at making these delicately beautiful desserts... and it bombed. 💣  
 
I added too much agar powder thinking they needed the extra to hold the fruit in place... Instead, they came out cloudy (vs. crystal clear like a damb raindrop) and not very delicate... 
 
I’ll try again soon and hopefully will have photos of what they’re supposed to look like... 🍓💧😍 
 
Happy Thursday!

Namasu (daikon & carrot salad) 🥗🥕    Whe Namasu (daikon & carrot salad) 🥗🥕 
 
Whether as a condiment or main ingredient... I sooo love daikon radish! 🥰 
 
Enter NAMASU. I first tasted this daikon salad when my adorable niece @orukie grabbed lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant near UNLV and offered her most favorite Tita (Tagalog of “auntie”) a bite. I’ve been addicted since! ❤️ 
 
This refreshingly sweet, sour, and crunchy salad is often included as part of Osechi Ryori – the traditional New Year’s dishes in Japan. 🇯🇵🍱 
 
I make this all the time now... sooo yummy & super easy to make too! Ready? 
 
Recipe 👉🏻 https://girlplusfood.com/namasu/ 
 
Ingredients: 
 
✔️ 14 oz daikon radish peeled and cut into 2 inch matchsticks 
✔️ 3 oz carrots peeled and cut into 2 inch matchsticks 
✔️ 1 tsp kosher/sea salt 
 
Dressing: 
✔️ 1.5 tbsp sugar 
✔️ 1.5 tbsp rice vinegar 
✔️ 1 tbsp water 
✔️ 1/4 tsp kosher/sea salt 
 
Instructions: 
 
* In a bowl, sprinkle salt over daikon and carrot and gently combine. Set aside for 10 minutes. (This will help draw out the extra liquid so the veggies stay crunchy.)
 
 
* Whisk together all dressing ingredients. Set aside.
 
 
* Squeeze out moisture form daikon and carrots and place in serving dish or storage container. Pour dressing and lightly toss to combine.
 
 
* Serve chilled. 
 
Alrighty... Enjoy your Wednesday! 🎉
