Pineapple Ginger Pancake w Sweet Peanut Sauce, Coconut & Mint

Pineapple Ginger Pancake w Sweet Peanut Sauce, Coconut & Mint

 

I used a prefab pancake mix for this one (Orgran gluten free mix w apple & cinnamon, it is lovely). Apart from that you need:

♣   pineapple
♣   peanut butter
♣   molasses (or another fluid sweetener)
♣   dessicated coconut
♣   non-dairy milk
♣   citrus zest (lemon, orange, or both)
♣   mint
♣   coconut oil for cooking

To do:
– make your pancakes (I don’t need to explain, do I?)
– stir fry the pineapple cubes w the ginger & zest (or you can add them later, up to you)
– mix a few table spoons of peanut butter with some non dairy milk, and add as much sweetener as you like.
– sprinkle pancake with coconut, place pineapple on top, pour sauce on top and garnish with mint.

If you use a dry sweetener, just add more milk.

All done 🙂

Toast w Ginger & Vanilla Peanut Butter, Pineapple & Toasted Coconut Flakes

May 7, 2013 · by · Leave a Comment

Peanut butter sandwiches are always nice, I think, I grew up on them 🙂 They also contain a lot of protein, and I like to add fruit to make it more complete nutrition wise.

Check list (for 1 person):

•  some (coconut) oil
•  1 handful of coconut flakes
  •  Peanut Butter w Ginger & Vanilla (see recipe)
  •  2 slices of bread (home made is the nicest, but any wholemeal bread will do)
  •  a few slices of pineapple
  •  vegan butter – optional

 

Way to go:
– in a small skillet, toast the coconut flakes (without oil). This goes rather quickly, so don’t walk away, and stir regularly. Take off heat
– toast the bread in the toaster or in a skillet with a bit of coconut oil
– quickly bake the pineapple so it is nice and warm
– put butter on the toast, if you want, and then the peanut butter
– top with pineapple, sprinkle coconut flakes on top
– make a tower to show off, or keep it simple 😉

Smoky Roasted Coconut Flakes (or vegan 'bacon')
Well, wether this tastes like bacon or not, it is very yummy and morish! Lovely to snack on, and lovely to sprinkle on just about anything 😉 It is easy to make too (by the way, this is not my own recipe, you can easily find it online):
Prepared by:
Cuisine: vegan
Recipe type: vegan alternatives
Prep time: 
Cook/wait time: 
Total time: 
You need
  • 3 hands of coconut flakes
  • 1 tbsp liquid smoke (yes, table spoon)
  • 2 tbsp Tamari
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp organic agave nectar (or maple syrup)
  • salt to taste
To do
  1. preheat oven to 150C
  2. in a bowl, mix the liquids
  3. mix in the flakes and mix well
  4. transfer to oven tray
  5. bake for about 15 minutes, but keep a good eye on it, as all ovens are different. Once I went to stir the flakes and they were done already. They should have a crispness to them, with a chewiness as well. They do get a bit crispier once out of the oven.
  6. add salt to taste
Notes
Let's see how quickly your batch disappears!
