Strawberry Upside Down Pancake

Strawberry Upside Down Pancake

Breakfast, Single Serve
✅ Easy to make ✅ High Protein I love trying new ways to have pancakes and upside down versions are one of my favourite, since spring is almost here and it is strawberry season I decided to try it with them. The pancake batter is my usual egg white base one which gives pancakes that fluffy texture, it also makes them higher in protein. For cooking choose a non stick skillet or make sure to grease your frying pan well. Here are the ingredients you will need: 1/2 cup self raising flour 1 egg white 1 banana 1 scoop vanilla protein (optional) 1 tsp baking powder 100ml preferred milk A handful of strawberries Brown erythritol (can sub for brown sugar) Toppings: Greek yoghurt More strawberry Sugar free chocolate chips Sugar…

Cookie Dough Waffle

Cookie Dough Waffle

Dessert And Sweets
✅ Easy to make This is my favourite experiment so far, I love cookies and I knew this would be a great one to try. Cooking the cookie dough in the waffle maker gave it a caramelised flavour and made them crispier than when baking. I would suggest to cook it until it is only slightly crispy as it will still harden once it cools down. I serve mine with some ice cream and peanut butter a fantastic dessert to share! Here are the ingredients you will need: 150g cookie dough Ice cream to top Peanut butter to top Method: To a non stick pre heated waffle maker, add the cookie dough, cook for around 15 minutes or until just starting to crispen up Remove and let cool slightly, add…

Apple & Cinnamon Pastries

Apple & Cinnamon Pastries

Breakfast, Dessert And Sweets
✅ Easy to make  ✅ No added sugar Pastries are a delicious way to start your day, my favourite are puff pastry ones. For these Apple and cinnamon pastries I used red apple although you could use green too. The secret to add more flavour is to use a fruit spread, I used the apple and cinnamon from St Dalfour. The required skills to make these are basic, I used ready rolled puff pastry which is so convenient. These pastries have no added sugar, are super flaky, made in no time and delicious. Here are the ingredients you will need: Ready rolled puff pastry 1 Apple St Dalfour Apple and cinnamon fruit spread Method: Using a cookie cutter, cut circles of approximately 8cm wide, slice your apple and remove the…

✅ High Protein  ✅ Easy to make ✅ Gluten Free This was one of my favourite breads when growing up, my favourite thing to do on the weekends was to go to our local bakery and pick up some freshly baked pan de bonos to enjoy for breakfast with my family.
