at thrivemarket.com/mindovermunch.
First up, I am making a basic oat pancake recipe,
which is gluten free.
(upbeat music)
In a large bowl, combine your oat flour, baking powder,
cinnamon and salt.
I personally don't add sweetener or sugar
to this base recipe, but feel free to, if you want.
Separately, combine eggs, milk, vanilla extract,
and lemon juice.
Whisk to combine.
Then I add the dry ingredients into the wet,
folding to integrate.
Thrive Market's baking powder is aluminum free,
so it has no metallic taste, which is great.
Aluminum free baking powder isn't heat activated,
so it starts working immediately.
The lemon juice in these pancakes
helps the baking powder to fluff up even more.
Allow the mix to sit for about five minutes
to thicken slightly.
And I let this happen while I heat up my griddle,
which is my personal preferred way to make pancakes.
Feel free to make any of these over the stove,
if you prefer.
I heat the griddle to about 325 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
for pancakes.
And I like to use the water test.
I drop a little bit of water onto the griddle pan,
and if it dances around, then it is ready to go.
So that water shouldn't be sitting still in the pan
and it shouldn't be evaporating immediately.
I prefer to cook pancakes in butter.
So I have butter up that griddle.
And for the batter, I use an ice cream scoop,
which holds about a quarter cup,
but you could do smaller or larger scoops
for smaller or larger pancakes as well.
Cook your pancakes until bubbles form
and the edges start to brown slightly.
Although these will bubble less
than traditional all-purpose flour pancakes.
And then of course, flip.
Cook through on the other side
and then serve and enjoy.
Wow, I mean, can you say fluffy?
I think these are literally
the fluffiest, baddest, pancakes I've ever made
and they are amazing.
They're filling and satisfying, with simple ingredients,
all while gluten-free.
I use Thrive Market's
Cinnamon and Vanilla Infused Maple Syrup
as a fun twist on top.
Next up, we're going to make vegan pancakes.
So there are no eggs, but also no banana.
(upbeat music)
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
Separately, combine non-dairy milk,
and the secret ingredient to these pancakes,
Melted Buttery Coconut Oil from Thrive Market.
This product has a buttery flavor
and will add some healthy fat to the recipe
since there aren't any egg yolks,
but it's still completely vegan and dairy free.
Combine the dry into the wet
and then use a spatula to mix together.
Being careful not to overmix.
Next, we're going back to our griddle.
I used the Buttery Coconut Oil
as the cooking fat here as well,
and then scooped on the batter,
cooking them the same way as I did the previous pancakes.
These end up lighter in color, but also in taste.
You would never know they're vegan or butter free.
One of my personal favorite ways to enjoy pancakes
is with jam.
And I found this Strawberry Chia Jam,
which has super simple ingredients, it's vegan,
and it's also a great keto friendly option, FYI,
these aren't keto, but you could use them on keto stuff.
Strawberry jam on pancakes with a little bit of syrup
to finish it off, that is my kind of breakfast.
I also added a stevia based syrup from Thrive Market here
that I had never tried before.
Like I said, it's really fun to go through all the offerings
on Thrive Market because I always find something new.

All right, next up, I am going to be making
Thrive Market's Protein Pancake Mix.
It is gluten-free and vegan on its own,
and it gets its protein from pea powder.
(upbeat music)
In a large bowl, combine Thrive Market Protein Pancake Mix,
milk of choice, some coconut oil, and I also use an egg.
But you could keep it vegan if you want it
by using a flax egg.
Mix your ingredients in the bowl until combined,
being careful again, not to overmix.
Then we are back to the griddle.
This time, I added some blueberries in for fun.
Of course, you could also do that to any of these recipes.
These pancakes spread and become nice and large,
which is super fun.
I used an egg, which adds even more protein,
but even without the egg,
this mix has 11 grams of plant-based protein on its own.
Nice.
If you're looking for a pre-made mix
that will give you that nutrition boost,
this one is worth a try.
Next up, I have got keto pancakes to share.
(upbeat music)
In a large mixing bowl,
combine almond flour and coconut flour,
baking powder, sweetener of choice, again, optional,
cinnamon and salt.
Separately, whisk together eggs, milk of choice,
and vanilla extract.
Then add the dry into the wet, mix to combine.
And I added in some keto friendly chocolate chips this time.
Why not?
Once again, we are using a quarter cup scoop
to spoon our mixture onto the griddle.
Unlike traditional grain-based pancakes,
these will not bubble so don't wait for them to.
Cook a few minutes on one side,
flip and then continue to cook until golden brown
and cooked through.
I am topping these pancakes with almond butter.
Nut butter is a regular go-to for me from Thrive Market.
I love the packages and how easy they are to knead,
rather than stirring without needing
any additional ingredients or oil in their nut butters.
I have actually made these keto pancakes many times before,
they are one of my favorites,
even when I'm not counting carbs,
which these days, I never am.
This pancake is really tasty and versatile.
I switch up the mix-ins every time.
Okay, the last recipe of the day is my coconutty pancakes,
which are vegan, gluten-free and they're actually keto too
as a base, say what?
(upbeat music)
In a large bowl whisk together eggs, coconut milk,
coconut oil and optionally,
you could add a bit of sweetener.
I don't need these to be keto
so I went with coconut sugar for more coconutty goodness.
But you could use a keto friendly option here as well.
In a separate bowl,
whisk together coconut flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the dry mixture into the wet again,
and stir to combine without overmixing.
I love coconut with banana.
So I decided to add some banana slices to the griddle
before adding the batter.
This one is really thick,
so you're going to need to flatten it out a bit.
But adding the bananas first
sort of gives them this bruleed effect.
They end up being like caramelized once you flip it over.
Wow, I guess I expected this,
but these were my favorite pancakes of the day.
I tried them with some shredded coconut and chocolate chips,
but I also did a couple of them
with this coconut based Nutella style bread.
It's from Thrive Market
and it is called Coconut Cacao Bliss.
And I also added some chopped macadamia nuts.
These pancakes are really coconutty obviously,
but for me, that's a good thing.
This texture is actually my favorite of the day too.
I really love coconut flour in pancakes
because they always end up a little bit more dense,
but still always fluffy, the best.
I hope you enjoyed these pancake recipes.
