Coconut and chickpea flour pancakes

Who wants some pancakes that are delicious and healthy? I know that I want them!
Maybe you know that I'm in love with two types of flour: coconut and chickpea. I combined them and I made some coconut and chickpea flour pancakes.
They're still fluffy, hearty and really delicious!
You have to keep in mind that the combination of chickpea and coconut flour (at least the ones I have) creates a pancake that is quite fragile if you want to make them big. The solution? Make them smaller and funnier :)
Ok, let's go to the recipe now :)


Ingredients (2 servings):
70 g (2/3 cup) chickpea flour
55 g (½ cup) coconut flour
480 ml (2 cups) plant milk
30 g (2 tbsp) brown sugar
10 g (1 tbsp) ground chia seeds
5 g (1 tsp) baking powder
5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract


Method:
Mix the dry ingredients then add all the wet ingredients.
Mix until you have thick batter. Let everything sit for about 10-15 minutes.
Heat a nonstick pan (even lightly oil it) an make pancakes Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on medium-low heat then flip them and cook them for about 1-2 minutes.

Enjoy!

I have a video for this recipe too :)

Chickpea flour seitan

If you want yet another recipe for seitan, here you have one. I added some chickpea flour to this one for some added nutrition: some fiber, a little bit of lysine, because wheat gluten has too little. It's not a huge lysine quantity, but still...
So, I chose to bake my seitan this time, but you can boil it, steam it... Your choice. 
I love to eat it instead of a steak or a roast, with a side salad, or use it in sandwiches or wraps. Sometimes I use it is stir fry or other things. I have a stir fry recipe here, if you want to take a look:)

Lentil and TVP chili

If you like to meal prep, then this recipe is perfect!
It keeps well in the fridge for 4-5 days, you can freeze it...
If you don't want to use it for a meal prep, or you don't do that, then you can make only half or 1/3 of the recipe...
But believe me, it's really tasty, high in protein and quite healthy.

Coconut flour brownies

Since I became vegan I wanted to veganize a brownie recipe that is gooey in the middle, a little crisp on the outside... And doesn't have any oil or refined sugar.
And it had to taste really decadent and guilty, just like a non vegan brownie. 
After a few weeks, I present you a brownie that has all this traits: gooey, sweet, decadent, but without any oil or refined sugar added.
A few of my friends tried it and their reaction was priceless! They knew that it was vegan, because I told them, but couldn't believe it :)
If you want the recipe, just keep reading.
