Favourite Blueberry Pancakes


I absolutely love pancakes and I don't usually wait till Pancake Day to have them, but when Pancake Day comes round, I do like to indulge. I have adapted this recipe from a protein pancake recipe, which I discovered when doing a Herbalife programme. However these are a little bit unhealthy once I add everything else on top. The main ingredients is 1 mushed up banana and one egg with a few added extras. During the week I don't have the bacon of syrup, I switch those up for 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder and honey as the sauce.


To make 2 pancakes you will need - 
1 banana
1 large egg
Pinch of baking powder
Blueberries
Syrup
Bacon
Fruit of choice - Strawberries and banana
Cooking oil of choice - I used coconut oil

What to do - 
Start cooking your bacon, whilst that's going on - 
Mush up your banana with a fork as smoothly as possible. Add your egg and continue to use fork to mix and mush. It doesn't have to be completely smooth, but do try to get it as smooth as possible.
Mix in your baking powder, Don't skip this part as the pancakes will not be as fluffy.
Heat up a pan, add your oil and let simmer on a medium heat. Drop in the mixture for form your two pancakes and then pop your blueberries on top.

Continue cooking on a medium heat until the top of your pancakes start to bubble. Be careful with this, you don't want to do this too early. Then flip those babies over. A minute of the other side should just about do it. If you're making pancakes for an army, repeat process.


Pop pancakes on top of each other and then add your fruit of choice and make it look pretty.


Grab your bacon - I like mine cremated as you can see.


Grab your syrup and go wild. The more syrup, the better if you ask me.


Then tuck in. I may or may not have had seconds. These were so freaking good.

Low Carb Pizza


I absolutely love pizza. It's ridiculous and if I could eat it every night and still fit into my clothes, then I totally would. However life doesn't work out like that, so I have to limit myself to enjoying it one night a week. I've been finding that take aways pizzas, just aren't as nice as they used to be - unless you're in Dublin - it's 1am in the morning and you find yourself in Dominos - in which case - it's BEAUTIFUL. Anyways in a bid to eat pizza more often,  i've been searching for healthier alternatives. First up - Lowcarb pizza. I saw this on Instagram somewhere - if it's your recipe, please do let me know.
You will need:
5 tablespoons Almond powder
6 eggs
1 cup cheddar cheese (grated) 
Whatever toppings you may want to use.


Mix the almond powder, eggs and cheese all together. Once mixed place grease proof paper on an oven tray and the pour in the mixture. Pop in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes is up, add your toppings. I went for cheddar cheese, mozzarella and sweetcorn. I was going to add mushrooms, but I forgot to buy them! Le sigh. If you were going to add mushrooms too - fry them before you add them to the pizza as this will make them taste even yummier. When your happy with your master piece, pop it back in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes. Once done - add some seasoning - I had caesar salad dressing - AMAZING!


It was quite nice, however it did taste like an omelette with pizza toppings on top, which I guess sums it up exactly. I think I will searching for one thats not quite so eggy next time, like a cauliflower base, or something along those lines. If you have any suggestions, leave me a comment below.
