Healthy breakfast: Whole grain pancakes with walnuts and apples

ENG:

Hello everyone! Today, I would like to share with you my healthy and delicious recipe for the whole grain pancakes, topped with apples, cinnamon and grinded walnuts or almonds. This recipe serves about 12 pancakes and I will only list approximate amount of all the ingredients, you might put in some extra flour or milk to get the right consistency.

Warning: these pancakes are super tasty so make sure you are highly active and productive that day to burn all the calories! :D

Ingredients:

- 3 eggs

- 1 cup of whole grain flour

- 1 cup of milk

- half a cup of warm water (the secret to that fluffy texture)

- 1/4 tsp salt

- 1 tbsp coconut sugar

- coconut oil (for greasing the pan)

Topping:

- cinnamon

- 3 apples

- walnuts/almonds

- honey (optional)

Combine all the ingredients and mix until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps. Grease the surface of the pan, pour small scoops of mixture into the pan and cook until golden brown.

Now you are ready to make the topping. Grate the apples and put them on the pancake. Sprinkle some cinnamon on top and add grinded walnuts (on account of my allergy to walnuts, I used almonds). If you want your pancakes even more sweet, drizzle some honey on top.

                                                  Delicious and healthy pancakes!



That's it! Such an easy, filling and delicious breakfast. It is also super healthy because we used coconut sugar and whole grain flour as an alternative to refined white sugar and flour. Coconut sugar has lower glycemic index and is far more nutritious than refined white sugar. We also used cinnamon, which is also known for its health benefits. On top of that we used coconut oil instead of ordinary oil or butter, which is also a healthier option due to being low in trans fats.


Till next time, bon appetit!

SLO:

Danes bi z vami rad delil idejo za zdrav in nasiten zajtrk, ki pa je primeren za dni, ko imate malo več časa, saj priprava traja kakšnih 20 minut. Kot je vidno že z naslova, sem pripravil slastne polnozrnate palačinke z mandlji in mletimi jabolki. Komaj sem se zadržal, da sem uspel narediti še nekaj fotografij preden so bili krožniki prazni! Predvsem mi je pri receptu všeč to, da so palačinke res sočne in tudi nasitne, kar je pri moški populaciji izredno pomembno. :D


Za približno 12 palačink boste potrebovali naslednje sestavine:
- 3 jajca
- polnozrnata pirina moka 
- mleko
- topla voda (da bodo palačinke bolj rahle)
- ščep soli
- kokosov sladkor
- kokosova mast (za pečenje)

Nadev:
- cimet
- 3 jabolka 
- orehi/mandlji
- med



Maso za palačinke sam delam čisto po občutku, zato natančnih količin ne morem navesti. Povem pa lahko, da sem uporabil približno 250g moke, 2dcl mleka, 1dcl vode, in jušno žlico kokosovega sladkorja. Pazite le, da po mešanju ne bo nobenih grudic.


Za nadev najprej naribajte 3 jabolka srednje velikosti. Ko so palačinke pečene, jabolka razporedite po sredini, čez pa potresite malo cimeta. Po vrhu potresite še mlete orehe ali mandlje (sam uporabljam mandlje, saj imam blažjo obliko alergije na orehe. Cele mandlje pa ''zmeljem'' tako, da jih kar v vrečki potolčem s kladivom - meni je ta tekstura še boljša, saj niso vsi delci enako veliki). Tisti, ki ste bolj sladkosnedi, lahko na koncu nadev obogatite še z medom, vendar običajno sladka jabolka zadostujejo.

To je to - preprosto, izredno okusno in predvsem zdravo; kokosov sladkor je namreč odličen nadomestek za bel sladkor, saj ima najnižji glikemični indeks med sladili in zato ne zvišuje krvnega sladkorja prehitro. Poleg tega vsebuje tudi ogromno hranil, med drugim kalij, magnezij, železo,.. K postopnemu višanju krvnega sladkorja pripomore tudi cimet, ki je poznan po številnih zdravilnih učinkovinah. Za pečenje pa smo uporabili kokosovo mast, ki edina prenese visoke temperature obdelave in s tem pri segrevanju ne tvori škodljivih trans maščobnih kislin. 


Pa dober tek!
