Avocado-Infused Pancakes: Creamy, Nutritious, and Delicious.
Looking for a way to elevate your pancake game? These avocado-infused pancakes are the perfect blend of creamy texture and rich flavor, thanks to the healthy fats from avocado.
Not only do they provide a smooth and fluffy texture, but they also pack a punch of essential nutrients like heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and vitamins.
Ingredients:– 1 ripe avocado, mashed– 1 cup whole wheat flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)– 2 large egg– 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
– 1 tsp vanilla extract– 1 tsp baking powder– A pinch of salt– 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)– Coconut oil or butter for cooking– Optional toppings: fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey
Start by mashing the ripe avocado in a bowl until smooth. The avocado will serve as the base for the pancake batter, providing creaminess and moisture without the need for butter or heavy cream.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed avocado, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract. The eggs provide structure and protein, while the avocado adds a velvety texture to the batter.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth. If you prefer your pancakes a little sweeter, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the mix.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease with coconut oil or butter. Pour small portions of batter onto the pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Flip carefully to ensure they cook evenly.
Top your pancakes with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of nuts, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor and texture.
