Cinnamon Banana Protein Pancakes

With Mother’s Day this Sunday, if you’re like me, you’ve probably been scouting around for brunch ideas. I don’t make pancakes very often (we’re a family of waffle-eaters), so when I do make pancakes, they always feel like a special treat.

Special occasion or not, these pancakes are special in their own right.

Now, normally pancakes sit like lead in my stomach (strangely, not so with waffles, so I guess that explains that), but instead of being heavy with gluten and sugar, these pancakes are rich with protein and fiber, and subtly sweetened with banana. Cinnamon and vanilla combine here to make these reminiscent of coffee cake.

As always with pancakes, you can go as crazy as you want with the toppings. I kept it relatively simple with grass-fed butter, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of flaked coconut and walnuts. Cashew “Cream” is another good topping idea, adding rich velvety texture and a touch of elegance (not to mention more protein!).

Go ahead and make these for brunch next time something special comes up…I think mom would love them on Sunday. And if it’s not a special occasion, I think these are healthy enough for a regular weekday breakfast. I kept the batch small (two-serving) because it’s easy to adjust up…and if you’re cooking for just you, no worries, there won’t be a ton of leftovers.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and moms-to-be. xoxo

Author: Faith
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 20 mins
Serves: 2 servings
Instead of being heavy with gluten and sugar, these Cinnamon Banana Protein Pancakes are rich with protein and fiber, and subtly sweetened with banana; cinnamon and vanilla combine here to make these reminiscent of coffee cake.
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 medium very ripe banana, peeled
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch fine salt
  • Topping Ideas: grass-fed butter, pure maple syrup or honey, coconut flakes, nuts, fresh berries
Instructions
  1. Add all ingredients to a blender and process until completely smooth.
  2. Preheat an electric griddle to 325F or heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low to medium heat.
  3. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the preheated griddle or skillet. Cook the pancakes until they’re golden on the bottom and bubbling in the center before you flip them, then flip each pancake once and cook until they’re golden on the 2nd side. (I used an electric griddle and didn’t need to add any butter or oil for frying.)
  4. Repeat until all the batter is used. (You should get about 6 to 7 pancakes.)
  5. Serve warm with any toppings you like.

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣

You can help make a difference by donating to @cookies4kids. Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Thank you to @OXO, @Mediavine and @Dixie_Crystals who have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000!⁣
