It is a good thing to be relaxed in the morning to help set the tone for the day. One way to keep the ease is to have healthy choices for breakfast at the ready. Check out these ideas:
Vegan Pancakes (From the following web site: www.oneingredientchef.com/vegan-pancakes/ )
Ingredients:
1 cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
1 cup + 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Tips for Perfect Pancakes
Over mixing is your enemy. This is the most common mistake. When wheat flour is mixed too much, it stresses the gluten and leads to tough, gummy, terrible pancakes. Seriously, a few swirls to incorporate the wet & dry ingredients is enough. You want to leave lots of lumps in your batter.
Hot pan! The pan must be very hot for pancakes to come out right. If you add the batter into a mildly-warm pan, they will be undercooked and gummy. If you don’t hear a sizzle the moment the batter hits the pan, you’re in trouble.
Wait for those bubbles. When making pancakes, if you get the batter and temperatures right, you should see bubbles on the surface at around the 2-minute mark. Then flip and cook for 1.5 minutes on the other side.
Keep them warm. When making pancakes for the whole family, it can be tough to keep them all warm since you can only make 2-3 at a time. Add a cooling rack to the oven and warm it to 150-200º F. As the first batches are finished, pop them in the oven to stay warm.
