It is! Happy Equinox! Fall, the very best time of year is now here!
Day 239: Peanut butter blueberry pancakes. I made these with coconut flour and they were not very pretty but they were very good.
1/4 cup coconut flour (use a level measurement)
3 large eggs
2 Tbsp coconut oil
I Tbsp honey
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 a banana sliced (you can just snack on the other half while you cook)
Mix all the dry ingredients first, then add all the wet ingredients and voila. The peanut butter will make it thicker and a little dryer than normal pancake mix. No worries, just measure out the batter in a 1/4 and into a hot pan with a little butter or olive oil they go. Place banana slices on top before you flip them. The banana gets nice and caramelized.
These pancakes are a good source of potassium. This is your bodies most abundant mineral. It acts as an electrolyte. Helping the muscles contract, keeps the nerves sending their signals and regulates fluid and heart rate. 98% of Americans Are not getting enough potassium.. if your bananas are withering away, untouched on top of your fridge you could be you! Drinking alcohol can also effect your potassium levels. Vomiting, dehydration... yeah that can cause a potassium deficiency. Signs of a deficiency include muscle cramps and stiffness, heart palpitations, digestive issues, fatigue. Not fun. Luckily peanut butter and bananas and delicious and a good remedy. If that’s not your bag though you have options.. cantaloupe, dates, broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, cucumbers… you get the picture. Since it is so vital to our health it is found in a lot of plant food.
