Fluffy pancakes

This recipe was born as I had some quark (presses cottage cheese) left over from making pierogi. I decided to incorporate them into pancakes.

Ingredients:
500g quark/pressed cottage cheese (low sodium)
1 cup sprouted spelt flour
3 cups traditional oats (milled into flour)
3 tbsp flax seeds (milled)
1 tbsp baking powder
2 cups milk of choice
1 egg (optional)

Steps:
1. Place all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until fairly smooth.
2. Heat the pan for a few minutes, until hot (no oil required as flax will act as fat in this recipe).
3. Add dough to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side
4. Serve with maple syrup or your favourite fruit sauce
5. Enjoy!

Vegan Oatmeal

Some people wonder whether they will need to give up oatmeal once they start their vegan journey.
The answer is: of course not!

While there are many alternative plant milks on the market, all of them have additives that I am less than comfortable consuming on a regular basis. Hence, I go with milk and mylk-less version of the oatmeal, which tastes delicious.

Ingredients:
0.5 cup uncooked Scottish oats
1.5 cup water
1 tsp cinnamon
1 ripe banana
1 ripe peach
1 tbsp cocoa nibs
3 tbsp shivered almonds

1. Cook the oats with water and cinnamon for about 7 minutes, until it thickens.
2. Then place oatmeal with a banana and peach in a blender and blend until it is smooth.
3. Serve the oatmeal in a bowl, topped with almonds and cocoa nibs.
