Low Carb Chocolate Pancakes


Low Carb Chocolate Pancakes
Image source: alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2013/02/chocolate-chocolate-chip-pancakes-low-carb-and-gluten-free.html

Ingredients:
  • 6 Large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup almond meal (This was my modification to make these a little less runny)
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythrithol (I used Truvia)
  • 1 TSP baking powder
  • 1/2 TSP salt
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil (I didn't have this so I used Vegetable Oil--I recommend using Coconut Oil if you have it)
  • 1 to 1.25 cups almond milk (I did not have this either, so I used regular 2% Milk-- next time I want to use either Heavy Whipping Cream or Half and Half, my pancakes were just a little to runny)
  • 2 oz gluten-free high % cacao chocolate, finely chopped
  • Pam cooking spray for the pan
Directions: 
  1. In a large bowl, stir in the eggs first. It always easier to stir the eggs and break the yolks apart first. I did use my handheld electric mixer. I highly recommend getting one of these to mix things. Mine cost me about $8 at Walmart and the clean up is super easy. 
  2. Mix together the eggs, coconut flour, cocoa powder, whey protein, powdered erythritol, baking powder, and salt. 
  3. Add the (coconut) oil, milk and chopped cacao chocolate. 
  4. Let batter rest for 10 minutes. 
  5. Head a large skillet over medium high heat and brush with butter or coconut oil or Pam cooking spray (what I used).
  6. Using a TBS spoon, put 3 TBS in to create 1 pancake. 
  7. Cook until bottom is set and bubbles begin to form around edges. About 2 minutes. 
  8. Flip carefully and cook until second side is completely set. About 2 minutes.
  9. Remove from pan and repeat with remaining batter.

    These sound good, Holly! I may have to try them for Valentine's Day.... :-)

    Out of curiosity, I'd love to know what some of your other favorite cooking blogs are. I'm subscribed to a bunch too, but am always interested in finding more!

    That is a very good question. Generally, many of the recipes I post on here are from other various blogs or recipes I found on recipe websites like: allrecipes.com or fatsecret.com. A good way to figure out which blogs I read is just look at the recipes where I get credit too. I try to be really good about giving credit where it is deserved.

Image Source:  http://paperfly.hubpages.com/hub/Bacon-Wrapped-Stuffed-Sweet-Peppers I got the original recipe from:  http://paperfly.hubpages.com/hub/Bacon-Wrapped-Stuffed-Sweet-Peppers I did add a few ingredients to add more flavor. Here is what I did:  Ingredients: 2 large containers of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (Sorry but I cannot stand any type of generic cream cheese, it's got to be Philadelphia and the low calorie one) 1 bag (about 20-25) small multi colored sweet peppers 1 TBS dried basil 1 TSP dried parsley 1 TSP garlic powder About 1/4 of a cup of Romano cheese 1 Package of regular bacon (I did cut the pieces in half so there would be more but next time I will be sure to just get 2 packages of bacon --  I recommend getting 2 packages.  Directions: Wash the peppers.  Cut around the stem at the top to remove steam and core/seeds. The peppers should be left whole, not cut in half. Set aside.  In a bowl combine cream cheese, basil, parsley, garlic

I'm Still Here!

It's been almost exactly four years since I posted anything. I got talking to someone today and mentioned I have this cooking blog. From time to time I mention I have it but have not done much with it since 2013. Why the break? For several reasons. The first reason, I became single and lost my main taste tester. Going from cooking for two to one for sure effected this blog. I also stopped posting during my break up. I did not want to advertise online what was going on and just needed to take my life off line a bit. The second reason: I moved to a different state, not once but twice. I moved to San Diego, California in October of 2013. I was there for a year and a half. I then moved to a suburb of Dallas, Texas in January of 2015. This is where I currently live and plan on staying. I have extended family here and why I made the move. About a year ago my mom retired and also moved here. She lives about twenty minutes away from me. I also have an aunt two miles away. I still hav

I found this recipe at:  www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Grilled-Asian-Flank-Steak-with-Sweet-Slaw-242464 But I was in a bit of a hurry and ended up using it more of an inspiration recipe. This came out surprisingly good. I did pair this with some mashed celery root and vegetables.  Ingredients: 1 & 1/2 pound flank steak 1/4 cup soy sauce 5 TBS vegetable oil 1 & 1/2 TSP ground ginger 1 TSP garlic powder Directions: Combine all ingredients and put into a zip lock bag.  Let this marinade for about 30 minutes.  You can cook this on a grill or stove top. I used my stove top and it came out fine.
