EASY 4 Ingredient Pancakes

July 3, 2015 by Monica Nelson Leave a Comment

3 Ingredient Pancakes

OH MY GAWD! These are one of my best best best Moni Pancake Recipes EVER. (Well, one of them FOR SURE as I have so many!).

The taste, the texture, the taste, the texture, the taste, the texture… AND they are so- so-so EASY and HEALTHY too!

4 Ingredient Pancakes

How is this possible? Wait til you see for yourself.  YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS RECIPE ASAP!!

4 Ingredients: 2 Eggs, 1 banana, 1/4 cup of milk (of your choice), and 2 tbs of coconut flour (or flour of your choice). THAT IS IT. All in one bowl too!

4 Ingredient Pancakes

Let’s talk taste. From the first bite you feel like you could possibly be on vacation eating room service at say The Four Seasons in Maui. The coconut background with the banana, vanilla almond milk,  and the richness of the egg (use the yolk and it is so good for you too) is what ties it all together.

You can of course add in anything else you fancy as this is a loose recipe but I find simple is best on this. The only thing you may want to slightly add in is; 1/4 tsp of salt and/or a dash of cinnamon, or a protein powder of your choice. You could seriously just do this with the 4 ingredients though and have very successful and delightful breakfast. I have made it many times with only the 4 ingredients. 

Let’s talk texture. If you like Pancakes that are so so so velvety to your fork, soft,  light, melt in your mouth good, then you will LOVE these. The texture is unreal. So buttery and fluffy. It is almost exactly like Bisquick minus all the awful ingredient’s.

Check out how awesome these pancakes are Nutritionally Speaking: Calories-306, Fat- 13.8 g, Sat. Fat-4.9 g, Cholesterol-325.6 mg, Sodium-304.2 mg, Carbs-32.7 g,  Fiber-8.4 g, Protein-13.5 g. Those are my kind of Hot Cakes and why I can eat the foods I love and stay fit and energized all-year round.

4 Ingredient Pancakes

Remember these Pancakes are: NO BUTTER, NO-ADDED SUGAR, NO-ADDED FAT; JUST REAL INGREDIENTS THAT ARE REAL GOOD FOR YOU!

NOTES:

*You can add in a dash of salt and cinnamon if you desire. I know that makes it not 4 ingredients but you get my point at how simple this is! 

*You can also add in a protein powder of your choice but as I mentioned, I find the more simple you make these, the better!

*Keep in mind when cooking with a fruit, especially a banana, it can burn easier. This is because of the natural sugars. So just watch it more carefully. I like to use coconut oil for the pan (more flavor explosion!) but cooking spray world work terrific too.

*As I said, I use 1/4 cup of almond milk but note that you can add extra milk of choice (this is if you want to thin this out to make a little bit more than 4). When I add  in the 1/4 cup of almond milk- I get exactly 4 hot cakes, so if you add in more almond milk, you will get maybe one more pancake.

This makes my Recipe Re-make Category as well. Eat your heart out Bisquick…I re-made you into a Healthy Moni Meal. 😉

Plus your place is going to smell AMAZING, trust me. Enjoy!

Let’s fire up the grill and here is a healthy ye Let’s fire up the grill and here is a healthy yet super tasty and fun treat for the 4th!
You can also use this same coconut cream again and just serve with your favorite fresh berries all season long! Enjoy. 

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH COCONUT CREAM
🍍🍍🍍

INGREDIENTS

For the Marinade:
• 1 tbs coconut oil (can also use olive)
• 1 tsp  ground cinnamon
• 2 1/2 tbs dark honey
• 1 vanilla bean (can be optional – but I love it here)
• 1 tbs of fresh lime juice
• 1 firm yet ripe pineapple, can buy already cut
For Garnish (Optional):
• 1 tbs dark rum
• 1 tbs grated lime zest from the lime
My Coconut Cream:
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez)

DIRECTIONS

Marinade:
1. In a large bowl – combine the oil, cinnamon, honey, vanilla bean (if using), and lime juice; whisk to well to blend together. Set aside.
2. Place each pineapple half cut-side down and cut it lengthwise into four long wedges; slice away the core. NOTE: Or you can slice it in rings too, which I do often. 
3. Place the pineapple in the bowl with the marinade and stir to coat the pineapple. Heat up the grill.
4. Place on the grill and cook about 3 to 4 mins. You can baste once or twice with the remaining marinade. Turn the fruit and move it to a cooler part of the grill or reduce the heat. Baste again with the marinade. Grill until the pineapple is tender and golden, about 3 more mins.
5. Remove the pineapple from the grill and place on a platter. Next, brush with the rum – if using. Last, sprinkle with the lime zest. Serve hot or warm!

For the Coconut Cream:
1. With an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream and cream of coconut until soft peaks form. TIP: You can also use this same cream again and just serve with your favorite fresh berries all season long.

So perfect for a summer treat with friends. Enjoy!
Let’s make my GREEN ME UP smoothie! I’ve been Let’s make my GREEN ME UP smoothie! I’ve been making this smoothie or a variation of it for the past 13-14 yrs, heck before there was TikTok. 😂 Such a delicious way to pack in some serious nutrition and those GREENS. 

Smoothies are an incredible tool to your wellbeing. They are super easy, versatile, and gosh dang - delicious and healthy. (If made correctly). That’s why I’m all about getting my clients on the smoothie train - if they’re up for it. 😉 

Just love providing clients with dozens of smoothie recipes I’ve created packed with protein and fiber, including healthy fats that keep you full 3-5 hrs easily. No matter what season of life I’ve been in personally: serious training, fitness modeling, both pregnancies/postpartum/nursing, healing, and now being a busy mom feeding our kids smoothies each morning, smoothies have been an essential piece.

This is a loose recipe so you can add anything else you want. Just make sure you have your protein source, your favorite veggies (hello phytonutrients), fiber sources and healthy fat. 

** Tip: put all the ingredients (EXCEPT the liquid) in the blender the night before! This tip has helped for years.

🥬GREEN ME UP SMOOTHIE🥬

• Handful of organic greens
• 1-2 cups organic celery (vitamins A, K, C, hydrating, supports digestion)
• 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower rice (makes it thick, extra fiber)
• 1 Brazil nut (gives daily selenium, which is important for fertility)
• 1/4 of an avocado
• 1/4 cup wild blueberries
• 1 tsp organic spirulina @nowfoodsofficial 
• 1/4-1/2 ceylon cinnamon (helps regulate blood sugar, antioxidant)
• 1 scoop @paleovalley bone broth powder
• 1 scoop whey - I like isolate and @nowfoodsofficial has a good one
• Creatine @nowfoodsofficial (fav supplement for 10+ yrs)
• 6-8 oz of unsweetened almond or coconut milk
• 1 scoop of @beeyawellness for topping, optional 

Other options I rotate in: ginger root, basil & chia seeds, psyllium husk powder, lemon (vitamin C), herbs like cilantro & mint, dandelion greens (great source of vitamin K).

1. Place everything in a HIGH-speed blender (yes this is important. Otherwise you’ll get salad texture). Blend for about 1 min. Enjoy!

Recently Asher rushed home from school and said “I’m working out for 10 mins to get strong.” Followed by “then I can break free from all the hugs.” We learned that apparently 3 girls at recess hug Asher nonstop and he wants to get strong to “get away from all the girls.” 😳 Never a dull moment.
