Buckwheat Pancakes and more PESTO!!!

My boys love pancakes for breakfast.  I often make a batch and they eat them later for a snack too.  My pancakes are packed with nutrients and protein that give them lots of energy!!  I often add hemp, pea or brown rice protein, green powders, ground flaxseed, hemp or chia seeds and more. 

Buckwheat Pancakes

1 cup buckwheat flour

¼ cup ground flaxseed

¼ cup vanilla hemp protein

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla powder 

1 dropper vanilla stevia

½ tsp nutmeg

1 banana

2 cups water

½ cup sprouted or cooked quinoa (you can also use barley flakes or buckwheat, sprouted or cooked)

On another note- My PESTO addiction right now!!  I made another pesto today!!  

Basil Dulse Pesto

**i skipped the dulse and kelp today and kept it traditional!!  

 

3 cups basil

1 cup cilantro

3 leaves sage

1/3 cup hemp, flax or olive oil (i used flax today)

1/3 cup pine nuts (soaked 4 hours) (you can use any nut or seed)

2 cloves garlic- crushed

3 tbsps lemon juice

½ tsp sea salt

1 tbsp dulse

*if you want a traditional basil pesto do not add the dulse and add an additional ½ tsp sea salt.  The dulse gives the recipe a salty flavor.

I typically also add 1 tbsp kelp and nori. 

Enjoy!!!
