ahh, iced coffee – how I love you.
There’s something about that first realization of when it’s getting warmer outside and iced coffee is on the brain.
To me, I go simple with just some organic half/half or something almond/coconut milk & some liquid stevia.
I’ve been getting the Coffee Concentrate from Trader Joes & using that as my base. I just follow the instructions on the side and do 1 part coffee to 3 or so parts liquid. Super simple!
What goes best with iced coffee? Pancakes, duh.
I think because I missed brunch last weekend being sick – I’m making up for lost time. I got an awesome package on my doorstep the other day from my friends at So Delicious & I was instantly stocked with everything I needed.
They always go above & beyond as a company to really make you feel like part of the team. I love that their packages are filled with fun little cards, progress reports, & new info on their #140Difference Campaign.
Known as the “World’s Shortest Grant Application” where you simply tweet or post your 140 character idea for a project that will make the world a better place to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
Be sure to include#140Difference and between April 22-May 12, So Delicious will award up to $30,000 in grants of various amounts to help simple, brilliant ideas come to life!
How amazing is that? Plus they were just on the Ellen Show & it was hilarious.
Keeping on the So Delicious inspiration here, I used their coconut milk in these PB&J Powercakes.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 Cup Oats
- 1/2 Banana (I ate the other half while waiting – real talk.)
- 2 Eggs (or 1 egg + 1 egg white)
- 2 TB Coconut Flour
- 2 TB Chia Seeds
- 3/4 Cup So Delicious Coconut Milk
- A few drops of Almond Extract
- A few drops of Vanilla Extract
- A few drops of Stevia
- Cinnamon to taste
Directions:
- Blend all ingredients in a blender (I used my Vitamix S30).
- Simple as that!
- Now pour the batter into pancake shapes on a sprayed medium heat griddle or pan.
- Cook for a few minutes on one side until bubbles start to come through.
- Flip & cook on the other side!
- I also added in some frozen raspberries to my batter & topped with organic peanut butter.
For the Strawberry “Syrup”
- Blend 1 cup of chopped strawberries in a blender with a little bit of stevia and a splash of water.
- After combined, let sit for a few minutes and it will thicken up.
- This made a perfect “J” to my “PB” topped powercakes.
