Pancakes & crepes

By Dieter

High protein pancakes

1 tablespoon protein powder + 1 tablespoon flour (this will make 2 large crepes, adjust amount according to how much you want to make)
sprinkle of salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar (increase if you increase the amount of flour)
baking powder
water
1 small apple, thinly sliced 
Cinnamon 
  • Stir dry ingredients together, add a little bit of water to make a paste. This will help having no clumps in the batter. Add more water until you have the consistency you want: if it barely drips off a spoon, this will make american style pancakes, if it is runny like cream, this will make crepes
  • Heat pan with 1T sunflower oil until it is hot, pour batter into pan, then tip pan to make the batter on top run off to the edges of the pan until it is really thin. Cook until crispy on both sides. 
  • Place on plate and add toppings (maple syrup, coconut butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, jam).

Blueberry Muffins / Cake

By Dieter

Blueberry muffins


2/3 cup of chocolate flavoured coconut/hazelnut/oat milk
2 big table-spoons of coconut butter
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of tapioca starch

Mix the milk with the coconut butter (in small flakes), the flour, tapioca starch, icing sugar, and salt. The consistency should be soft, but so that it sticks to a fork when lifted out. Add the baking powder and bicarbonate soda, and mix some more. Stir in the blueberries and the small crumples of the marzipan with a spoon. Bake at 180C for 30 mins, until the top is slightly crusty and a fork comes out clean.
