When your harshest food critic, aka your 9 year old daughter, is asking for a second helping of your carrot cake pancakes, I take it as the best compliment. Trust me, there’s been a few times when she told me her unbiasedly honest opinions about my cooking experiments, so to earn her appraisal is kinda a big thing to me.

These carrot cake pancakes are more dense than traditional fluffy pancakes, however they offer a great nutritional value and will keep you full for much longer. Furthermore, sneaking extra veggie goodness into your breakfast is an extra bonus for children and adults alike.

When it comes to toppings, I love serving my pancakes with a generous helping of maple syrup and whichever fresh berries I have on hand. This time I also added edible flowers from the local New Forest producer Bell Herbs. You know how much I love locally sourced foods and I got really excited to have discovered a family run business growing the most beautiful and delicious edible flowers and micro herbs. These herbs and flowers add an extra touch of sophistication, as well as delicate extra flavours to your every day meals for sure.

Course Breakfast, Brunch
Cuisine British
Servings 8 pancakes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 chia egg (1 tbsp ground chia seeds mixed in with 3 tbsp water)
  • 1 cup (gluten free) oats
  • ½ cup firmly packed grated carrot
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup dairy free milk
  • Coconut oil for greasing

Instructions
 

  • 1. Prepare the chia egg by mixing 1 tbsp of ground chia seeds with 3 tbsp of water. Set aside for 5-10mins until the mixture resembles glue-like consistency.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and add the chia egg. Mix until well combined.
  • 3. Heat up a pan over medium heat (make sure you use good quality pan, otherwise your pancakes will stick to the bottom of the pan). Grease with a little coconut oil and fry the pancakes (allow 1 heaped tbsp per pancake) for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • 4. Serve whilst still hot with maple syrup and your choice of fresh berries.

      Hi Stephanie. Sorry to hear your mixture came out too wet, it should be quite thick consistency. Which type of oats did you use?

In honour of the citrus season, this vegan upside In honour of the citrus season, this vegan upside down blood orange cake should definitely be on your menu 😏 🍊 No flour and no refined sugar make it light, fluffy, as well as waist friendly (healthy new year resolutions & all that jazz 😎) It’ll make a great dessert for Valentine’s Day too, if you happen to be planning your menu for it already 😉 On another note, I’m desperately looking forward to Friday... You know that feeling? 😆

#ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there wer #ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there were nowhere near as many plant-based options in the supermarkets as there are this year. Personally, I find it so much easier to eat plant-based now when there's such an abundance of delicious vegan products, even in the local shops.This @coopuk GRO plant based  mushroom & spinach Wellington from my local Co-op tasted absolutely divine - 'meaty' & creamy on the inside & crunchy & crisp on the outside👌🏻 It's gone down like a treat with my (rather fussy) daughter too, which makes me one happy mum, I must say! ☺️I'm so pleased that Co-op are extending their plant-based offer this January & nearly doubling the choice of their vegan GRO products from winter-warming spiced pie to Asian-inspired noodles, there will be plenty of choices to suit all taste buds 😋 This makes eating plant-based so easy & rather exciting too. Pop in to your local Co-op and check it out for yourself 😉#Veganuary #ItsWhatWeDo
#ad Craving some cheesy comfort foods this Veganua #ad Craving some cheesy comfort foods this Veganuary? No problem 😎 This quick & easy vegan broccoli & cheese soup that I made with @violife_foods Epic Grated Mature Cheddar is comfort food at its best, especially during these cold winter days. Thick, creamy & bursting with flavours, it's one of those easy recipes you'll go back to again & again (full recipe below) 🍲If you haven't yet tried @violife_foods vegan products (free from dairy, lactose, soya & gluten), I'd really encourage you to do so. In my humble opinion, Violife cheese alternatives are one of the best at the vegan isle. You can find Violife products in Asda, Coop, Holland & Barrett, Sainsbury's, Tesco & Waitrose. If you need more vegan recipe inspiration, head over to Violife website.If you fancy winning a goodie bag from @violife_foods, just try their Epic Grated Mature or Grated Original, create a recipe,  and share your recipe on Instagram.
