You have been my little sous-chef. Everytime I go into the kitchen to cook you run behind me and ask, can I help? It has been wonderful. Last night we made chicken and corn chowder together and this morning we made pan-a-cakes. As you would say. You proudly told me, we need to mix the ingredients and make something yummy. Then later you told me I make delicious food with my “inventions” in the kitchen. You really are a help. You love to fetch ingredients and mix things together!
You ate five pancakes and loved them so much you asked for them all day long! We have a nice treat waiting for us in the morning, you will be so excited. Here is the recipe we made together…
Pan-a-cakes (GLUTEN AND CASEIN FREE but just as yummy)
created by Serena Nicole
1.5 cups of oatmeal (gluten free)
1.5 cups of sliced almonds
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 heaping teaspoon cacoa powder (you can use cocoa if you like)
2 eggs
1.5 teaspoon of vanilla
1/4 cup sweetner (you can use sugar or 1/8 cup honey)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/4 cup water
Heat your griddle to 275 degrees . Add all ingredients into the vitamix blender and work your way to 10 and blend for 2 minutes until the mixture is nice and smooth. Drop onto skillet using a 1/4 cup (we use an ice cream scooper) and flip once they become bubbly. Makes 12-15 pancakes.
We eat ours without syrup but if you would enjoy syrup you could omit the sweetner above.
(If you do not have a vitamix you can blend the dry ingredients first until they are a fine powder and dump them into a small bowl. Then mix all wet ingredients until they are creamy. Mix the wet to the dry ingredients and cook away. )
