Strawberry Pancakes

Breakfast RecipesWhitney Carlson5 Comments

My two favorite things - strawberries and pancakes! I know we have quite a few pancake recipes on the blog (5 to be exact, this makes 6), but who doesn't love light pink fluffy goodness! These babies are obviously clean and gluten-free so don't be afraid to whip some up! How much fun would these be to make for yourself and your family on Valentine's day?

Strawberry Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 7 medium strawberries, stems removed and quartered
  • 2 TBSP water

-----

  • 1 1/4 c gluten free oat flour
  • 2/3 c unsweetened applesauce
  • 2/3 c coconut milk (you could also substitute original, unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1/2 c unsweetened, plain 2% greek yogurt
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries and water on medium to medium low heat and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning of strawberries. 

2. Cook strawberries for 4-5 minutes until strawberries are very soft and begin to breakdown, resembling strawberry jam.

3. Meanwhile, combine dry and wet ingredients (in second list) in a large bowl with a whisk. 

4. Remove strawberries from heat and using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the strawberries.

5. Combine strawberries with pancake mix (step 3). 

6. Cook pancakes as you would normally on a griddle or stovetop.

Makes approximately 15 - 3" diameter pancakes.

Serving size is approximately 5 pancakes.

Clean Savory Pie Crust

Breakfast RecipesWhitney Carlson1 Comment

Wait... what?!? I can eat pie when I eat clean? Well, of course - as long as the ingredients are clean and they get you closer to your goals! Why not?

This pie crust is perhaps one of our easiest recipes - it just takes a food processor or a blender, a surface to roll out it on, a pie dish and an oven. The recipe isn't your typical sweet, graham cracker crust - it's more savory and tastes like a pastry-type crust. We recommend our Clean Savory Pie Crust for dishes such as quiches, meat pies and side dishes - skip it for your favorite desserts. Don't forget! This recipe is gluten-free too!

Gluten-Free Eat Clean Savory Pie Crust


Ingredients:

 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Combine dry ingredients in a food processor and pulse to blend and break up oatmeal approximately 30 seconds.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk almond milk, egg yolk, safflower oil and apple cider vinegar to a froth.

4. Combine dry and wet ingredients in the food processor and pulse to blend for approximately 45 to 60 seconds.

5. Remove blade from food processor bowl and refrigerate dough for 45-60 minutes, enough time to chill and for the dough to thicken.

6. Flour a large surface with oat flour. Remove dough from bowl and knead into a ball. Begin to flatten the dough out to 1/2" thickness.

7. Place dough in a pie dish, ensuring that it spreads evenly on the bottom and up the sides of the dish. Use your thumb to create "wavy" sides if you wish.

8. Bake in oven for 20 minutes until crust is golden brown.

9. Allow crust to cool for 20-30 minutes before adding filling.

Makes 8 servings.
