Recipe: Fluffy Pancakes



McDougall's Starch Solution:  "Fluffy Pancakes"

Ingredients:

1.5 C whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp baking powder
Dash of Salt
1 T Ener-G Egg Replacer
1 C mashed ripe bananas (2-3 bananas)
1 C soy milk or rice milk
1/2 C sparkling water (I omitted this)
1 T Sunsweet Lighter Bake (I used 1/4 c applesauce here)
1 T fresh lemon juice

Mix together the whole wheat flours, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.  In another bowl, whisk the Egg Replacer with 1/4 c warm water until frothy.  Add the bananas, mixing well.  Add the milk, sparkling water, Lighter Bake, and lemon juice until well mixed.  Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined.

Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat.  When it is hot, ladle pancakes onto the griddle. When bubbles form on the surface, use a spatula to flip them over.  Cook until lightly browned.  Repeat with remaining batter.  Serve immediately.

What I'm Reading Now

Ok...I am ABOUT to be reading it! LOL  As soon as I am done with Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease...I am thinking I will do one post after I read both of them.

I am really excited about this book!  I am a huge believer in carbohydrates and starches.  It makes me sad to see friends go "low carb" in an effort to lose weight.  When eaten correctly (simple vs complex) they can fuel your body, keep you full, and help you shed pounds.  

Also, after the new Paleo hoopla, i'm excited to see something that backs eating starches/carbs/grains.  Rice, potatoes, beans, corn, sweet potatoes...Yes Please!



ANNNNNND....a video :)
