Easy n' Fluffy Vegan Pancakes - Oil free

-
My great grandma used to make the best pancakes, and my mom used to make them for us when I was growing up too. It was definitely a staple recipe in our family, and no matter how hard I tried to find a vegan recipe for pancakes, it never quite measured up to her pancakes.

They made it with eggs and milk, so i figured i would try to switch these out with easy vegan alternatives, and honestly, I kinda like it better this way cause I don't feel guilty when I eat it, and they taste just as amazing! Just, in a different way.
Almost everything in there is good for me and by using chia egg instead of the eggs, I am adding so much more nutrients. 
They have barley any sugar, and I tested them out with whole wheat flour and they are so. good.



Servings: 4 medium pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 cup flour (I used whole wheat for the ones in the picture)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (I use cane for everything)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 chia egg (1 tbsp chia seeds and 3 tbsp water, soak for 10-15m)
  • 1 1/3 cups of plant milk 
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Start by mixing all your dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
Then, add the butter, milk and vanilla and whisk until there are no more clumps.
Fry your pancakes until they are golden brown, or however you like them (It's totally safe to have them under cooked)
Top with some fresh or frozen fruit, mix in some chocolate chips, maple syrup, butter, whatever you want! 


Let me know in the comments if you try this recipe and what toppings you used! I'd love to hear from you!

DIY All Natural Deodorant

-

Not to toot my own horn, but this stuff SERIOUSLY works. I have had such a hard time in the past finding a natural, aluminum-free deodorant that actually works and doesn't make my armpits hurt. I tried many different plastic tube types, and they all just weren't strong enough. I found myself re-applying way too often. Then I tried a waste free one from lush and it was too rough and had way too much baking soda which really irritated my armpits. This recipe does have baking soda, but not a lot of it, and if you use the all-natural stuff (make sure it is aluminum free) it should be great for sensitive pits like mine! I will admit that the first couple days of using it was an adjustment. My armpits did not really like the baking soda at first, but after 2 or 3 days, they got used to it and I was back on track. Before I get started with the recipe, I also want to point out that many aluminum free deodorants that you find on shelves have "fragrance" which is an umbr

Homemade Hemp Milk

I didn't even know hemp milk existed until about a year ago, and now I swear by it. What's even more amazing about being able to make it yourself is that it's way better than buying it in store for so many reasons. 1. It's zero waste (just buy your hulled hemp seeds at the bulk store) 2. It's healthier since there are no added preservatives or sweeteners. 3.You can make however much you need so never have to throw out a barley used carton! The seeds have a super long shelf life so you can always have hemp milk on hand, just takes about 3 minutes of preparation, a blender, and a fine cloth of some sort. You can also use those reusable produce mesh bags, or even a fine cloth that you have kicking around (an old t-shirt would probably do the trick)  As long as water can get through it, it'll do, there is no need to buy fancy new equipment. Ingredients: 1/4 cup of hulled hemp seeds  2 cups of water  1 tsp maple syrup or dates to sweeten *I personal

Quinoa Stuffed Peppers (Vegan)

-

I made these a while ago with some red and yellow peppers, and let me tell you, it doesn't matter what color pepper you've got on hand (or was on sale at the grocery store) it will be BOMB either way. Like, the best thing you will ever put in your mouth (except for maybe minimalist baker's jalapenos cheese dip). Seriously though, this recipe is a must try, its packed with protein, fiber, iron and is so filling! It's cruelty free, and very low waste. The only waste I created for this meal was the packaging for the vegan cheese, which I always use very minimally and consciously. Ingredients: 4 peppers that can sit upright (red is my preference) 1/2 cup of quinoa  1/4 cup of dry black beans or kidney beans  2/3 cup of tomato sauce (you can totally add more if you like it saucy) 1 1/2 cups of mixed vegetables (I did mushrooms, zucchini and onions) Salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder. Hot sauce (optional) *Be creative! Feel free to mix and match di
