Get your Veggies in a Cake?
Happy Wednesday everyone, half way through the week already!
This has been a week of productivity. The nice weather has given me a kick in
the butt to start getting some stuff done, spring cleaning, yard work and
painting. Although things keep getting checked off the list somehow more things
keep getting added, but it keeps for a busy full day so I am not complaining!
I was tinkering away in the kitchen and forgot about these
delicious VEGGIE PANCAKES I used to make all the time. Ok really they are
fritters, but I like to call them pancakes because I feel like I am getting a
treat. They are the perfect go to breakfast, or snack. This time I mixed
shredded zucchini, carrots and sweet potato. Mix in a couple eggs with some
almond flour and you're set. The best thing about these is you can add in
whatever you want. If you are looking
for a higher carb post workout snack you could make it just with sweet
potato to get those carbs in fast for recovery. Either way they are great and I
highly recommend you try them out.
There really is no set recipe I use, so you will have to be
adventurous. Shred up one carrot, one zucchini, half of a sweet potato or maybe
the full thing. Next, add in as many eggs to fully coat all the veggies, with
this amount I would use three to four. Lastly mix in some almond flour to help
bind everything, add a ¼ cup at a time until you are happy with the
consistency. To jazz these up even more you can add spices to your liking. In
the past I have added cinnamon and nutmeg or a little chili powder and paprika.
Yum, yum!
