I don’t try vegan baking often and was a bit wary of using the avocado but this turned out to be one of the most moist, rich desserts I’ve ever whipped up! It was really simple to throw together and is filled with healthy fat from the avocado, whole grain & has the heart healthy benefits of cocoa. It’s one of those recipes that tastes heavenly and just happens to be great for you too. You could even add other berries like strawberries or blueberries. Seriously, this is one you definitely have to try and don’t forget to top it with tons of fresh raspberries! :)

FLOURLESS COCONUT AND BANANA PANCAKES 

Ingredients

• 100g (or a small can) of cooked butter (lima) beans (or any other white bean like cannellini beans) 
• 1 large egg + 2 egg whites
• 50g of banana (half a big banana or one small one)
• 10g of creamed/dessicated coconut (or more if you want a stronger coconutty taste but I was watching the calories!)

1. (ignore this if you’re using dessicated coconut) If the creamed coconut is hard, put it in a dish, add a tablespoon of water to it and microwave it for 30 seconds-ish so that it softens (or grate it)
2. Put all the ingredients in a blender
3. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
4. In a frying pan, pour in the pancake batter and cook (use a little bit of coconut oil for added coconutness)
5. These might take a bit longer to cook than normal pancakes, but bubbles should start to appear on the top, which means the bottom is ready and it’s time to flip!
6. Repeat with the rest of the batter, top up the pan with a little bit more oil if needed

whole recipe, approx 350 calories.

without the banana and coconut, approx 230 calories

alternatives: 

peanut butter instead of coconut

apple sauce

add some blueberries or chocolate chips or raisins to the batter

anything you want 

The important things, for the basic pancakes, are the butter beans and the eggs, the other ingredients are optional.

You could also use 3/4 egg whites instead of 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites but I don’t know how they’ll turn out, they should be fine though!

anyway

I didn’t bother to make these pancakes pretty or take some good pictures because I just wanted to eat them lol

These are lower in calories than normal pancakes, and are more filling than two ingredient (banana and egg) pancakes! And because the banana is optional in this recipe, you can flavour them in any way you want!

I made a sauce out of date puree, skimmed milk and a little bit cornflour, to thicken it slightly and then topped the pancakes with some left over banana and raspberries!

I think I just found the best clean and healthy pancake recipe. They taste like a banana chocolate chip muffin in a pancake format : Blend 1/2 cup oats, 3/4 banana, 2 egg whites, 1/8 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, and 1 tbsp vanilla extract. Add dark choc chips when you cook them and VOILÀ !

This could be tasty

Healthy peanut butter cups!? Oh I’m so in.

Ingredients

For the bars

• 3/4 cups organic peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon organic grade b maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons organic coconut oil (melted/liquid)

For the topping

• 1/2 cup raw cacao
• 1 tablespoon organic grade b maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons organic coconut oil (melted/liquid)

Directions

For the bars

Step 1: Combine the peanut butter, maple syrup and liquid coconut oil (melt if needed) in a medium size bowl and stir until well combined.

Drop a spoonful at a time into silicone muffin cups until they are approximately 1/2 full.

Put them into the freezer for at least 15 minutes or until hardened.For the toppingStep 2Combine the raw cacao, maple syrup and liquid coconut oil (melt if needed) in a medium size bowl and stir until well combined.

Drop a spoonful at a time on top of the frozen/hardened peanut butter in the silicone muffin cups.

Put them into the freezer for at least 15 minutes or until hardened.
Step 3Keep in the freezer until served because they will melt and lose their shape at room temperature if the coconut oil begins to melt.

Enjoy!

It’s 02 am, and I need to go to the store, now.

I am making the hell out of these. With almond butter though!

@kortneyk319: Tight hip flexors? Do a butterfly stretch and pop a 10kilo plate on each knee. Lay flat on ur back for 2mins

WHY HAS NO-ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS BEFORE OMG

I do this. Or I put a plate on one knee and let gravity slowly take the other one down if my hips are super tight.

Or you can just lay on your front, it would stretch the same and you can do it anywhere, bodyweight…

Roses are red, yoga is great, who needs a Valentine, when I can bench my own weight! Violets are blue, and peanut butter is heaven, I’ll save you a kiss, after rep number seven. Bananas are yellow, and yogurt is greek, squats are gonna be the only thing, to make my knees weak. Oatmeal is perfect, and veggies are divine, the dream to be strong is what I’m making mine! -sixpackofswole
