Ⓥ Vegan Kitchen: Chocolate Oatmeal Pancakes! Ⓥ

Talk about epic pancakes! 

I was feeling particularly chocolatey after buying these huge chocolate chips the other day, so here's a new pancake recipe for you! Super good! Vegan and gluten free as usual, and healthy with the oats! :) 

Chocolate Oatmeal Pancakes

3/4 cup Buckwheat Flour

1/4 cup Tapioca Flour

1/2 cup Oats

2 tsp Cocoa Powder

1 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp Baking Soda

1 Tbsp Coconut Oil

1 tsp Agave Nectar

1 cup Coconut Milk

1 Banana

1/4 Cup Vegan Chocolate Chips 

In a large bowl, first mix the dry ingredients together until well stirred. Then add wet ingredients and mix well. Add in the Banana and Chocolate Chips until just mixed. 

Pour Batter into a heated frying pan and cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned. 

Makes 2 massive pancakes! 

Enjoy! :)

Ⓥ Vegan Kitchen: Almond Butter Oatmeal! Ⓥ

I threw this together again this morning and felt, hell, why not share? ;) 

Almond Butter Oatmeal

1/2 cup gluten-free Oats

3/4 cup water

1/4-1/2 cup Almond Milk 

1/2 Tbsp Agave / 5 drops Stevia 

1/4 tsp ground Cinnamon

1 Tbsp Almond Butter

1 Tbsp Cocoa Chips

2 Tbsp Raisins

Cook the oats as usual (it's best to soak them a little before cooking but you don't have to). Add in the Cinnamon and sweetener and mix well. I like my oatmeal not too thick, so I add almond milk--do this slowly, adding as much as you need to get desired consistency. At the end of your cooking time, add in the almond butter and the cocoa chips and raisins. Stir in only for a few seconds so that it's mixed in well (I usually add a little more almond milk at this point as well), and the chocolate chips get a little melty (yum!). Serve! 

I also added 1/2 tsp Matcha (because I'm obsessed with matcha) and it was delicious. Also, adjust the sweetener to your liking. 

Yum yum! Enjoy!

Ⓥ Vegan Kitchen: Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal! Ⓥ

A super easy and fun festive breakfast idea! A sneaky but healthy way to get away with pumpkin pie for breakfast too! Pumpkins are super good for you too; high in protein, vitamin A, vitamin K, iron, fiber, vitamin C and potassium!

I grabbed this recipe from "The Family Kitchen" blog and modified it slightly from here: http://blogs.babble.com/family-kitchen/2011/10/03/pumpkin-pie-oatmeal-breakfast/

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal:

1/2 cup rolled Oats

1/3 cup Almond Milk

1/3 cup Water

pinch of Salt

1 Tablespoon Agave Nectar (or Maple Syrup or other sweetener)

1/8 tsp Cinnamon

1/8 tsp Nutmeg

1/8 tsp Ginger

1/4 cup Pumpkin

Add oats, water, soy milk, agave, and salt in a small pan over medium heat. In a small cup, mix together the pumpkin and spices. Swirl this mixture into the oats and heat for a couple minutes until the oats are cooked and soft.  Add more Almond Milk if you'd like it thinner and add more sweetener if you'd like it sweeter. Add any other toppings you may want, sprinkle with Cinnamon and serve warm! 

For an extra treat add soy creamer splash and swirl of coconut milk whip on top! I didn't have these handy, but next time I will for sure! I mean look at how much more delicious it looks with the whip on top!! 

Happy Thanksgiving Canada and Happy Fall everyone else! xo
