  • #tbt to the time I made these Vegan Gingerbread Pancakes which never made it to the blog!!👀 Topped with melted chocolate + a coconut whip, these pancakes are still perfect for Valentine’s Day! 🍫Thank me later!
.
.
.
Ingredients:
-1 cup organic whole wheat flour (I use @bobsredmill)
-1 cup organic rolled oats (or Gluten-free)
-1 Tbsp baking powder
-1/4 tsp sea salt
-1 cup Almond milk, unsweetened (I use @califiafarms; Can also use your favorite Non-dairy milk or water)
-2 Tbsps pure maple syrup (adjust to your preferred sweetness!)
-1 tsp ground cinnamon
-1 tsp allspice -1 tsp ground ginger -1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 Tbsps molasses
-2 Tbsps coconut oil
-Vegan Chocolate, melted (I use @enjoylifefoods)
-coconut whipped cream, optional.
.
.
.
Instructions:
Start by whisking together the whole wheat flour, rolled oatmeal (ground into flour), baking powder, spices, and sea salt in a large bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, add the Almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, molasses, coconut oil, whisking everything together until well combined.
Now, add the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients and stir together with a spatula until well combined. **Try not to Over-mix.** Once fully combined let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes, so that ingredients can “activate”. NOTE: Batter should be thick, but slightly ‘liquidy”; if not, add a few Tbsps more of Almond milk until consistency is “in-between”.
Add a thin slice of vegan butter to a heated medium skillet and pour 1/3 cup of batter unto the surface of the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes (until batter begins to bubble) and gently flip pancake to it’s opposite side, cooking another 1-2 minutes. Be sure to gently press down on pancake to ensure that center cooks through.
Once cooked and lightly brown, remove pancake from heat and repeat steps until all batter is used.
To serve, stack pancakes onto one another and add too w/ Chocolate + coconut whip (optional) and lightly drizzle with maple syrup, if desired. .

  • With Valentine’s Day in just a few short days, I thought that these ‘Not So Classic’ New York-Style Cheesecake Bites would be perfect for you + your Valentine (or maybe just YOU! 🤪). In this recipe, I used all organic ingredients, including @organicvalley cream cheese as the base, which is my ultimate fave and Go-To! Oh, and I made my own topping versus the canned stuff I use to use back in the day when I use to relish in my cheesecake masterpieces. Haha! Let’s just say, I was the queen of shortcut baking back then!👆🏾To see recipe, visit link in @orchidsandsweettea bio. .
