@alanabell__

episode 5: biscoff loaded pancakes🥞💕✨ Pancakes are an absolute staple on a brunch menu and Biscoff is one you always see so it felt right to go for a classic. I feel like many brunch places to miss a trick with not adding some fruit as it cuts through the intense caramelised biscuit flavour & only makes them better💋 best believe this stack kept me full through the day – but couldn’t not go all out with the biscoff ! Any pancake recipe can obviously be used but I had all the ingredients in for my protein pancake recipe & it’s been my go-to for years so I’ll list the recipe below as always🩷 RECIPE Ingredients ▪️1 ripe banana (65/70g) ▪️50g rolled oats ▪️1 egg ▪️30g vanilla whey protein powder ▪️a generous amount of cinnamon ▪️1/2 tsp baking powder ▪️Toffee flavour drops (or vanilla extract) ▪️50ml almond milk ▪️frylight/ butter (I usually use frylight and spray generously but ran out so used Flora light) ▪️toppings: melted biscoff spread, sliced banana, raspberries, 1 strawberry, biscoff biscuit , freeze dried strawberries Method 1.) Pulse your pancake mixture in a blender for a couple of times so everything is combined but it’s still thick 2.) Heat a large non-stick pan on low with frylight/butter 3.) Pour on your pancake mixture and when bubbles appear throughout, flip – should be golden (but the first round never turn out perfect!) 4.) Layer each pancake with a light layer of biscoff spread and some banana coins then pour over your melted spread and decorate with your toppings. And you’ve got yourself a cafe standard stack🤭✨ #brunch #pancakes #biscoff #breakfastinspo #sweettreat #brunchrecipes

3. Cinnamon roll pancakes

What happens when you combine cinnamon rolls and pancakes. All kinds of wonderful, that’s what. Here is @aelencooks mouthwatering recipe.

@aelencooks

I loveeee these cinnamon roll pancakes! I haven’t made these in a while & they were so worth. I need to add it to my rotation because omg #easybreakfast #pancakes #pancakerecipe #cinnamonroll #breakfastideas #breakfastrecipes

♬ DAISIES – Justin Bieber

Ingredients for 8 servings:

For the pancakes:

• 1 egg

• 300ml milk

• 60g melted butter

• 190g plain flour

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1 tbsp sugar

For the cinnamon sugar:

• 60g butter (softened)

• 50g caster sugar

• 2 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tbsp of pancake batter

For the icing:

• 240g icing sugar

• 1 tbsp milk

Method:

Whisk the egg until it becomes lighter in colour, add in the melted butter and milk and mix until everything is combined. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is relatively smooth, and no large clumps remain. Set the batter aside.

Make the cinnamon sugar mixture by combining the butter, sugar and cinnamon. Add in 1 tbsp of the pancake batter, then mix everything until smooth and pour into a piping bag.

Make the icing by whisking together icing sugar and milk until smooth.

Heat up a pan with a small amount of butter on medium heat. Once the butter is melted, scoop your batter onto the pan. Immediately swirl the cinnamon sugar mix over the pancakes and let it cook until small bubbles start to form, about 1–2 minutes. Then add a small tsp of water to the edge of the pan, and immediately put the lid on the pan and let it cook for another 2 minutes. I’ve found that flipping the pancake can ruin the swirl design, so using this steaming method helps cook the pancakes thoroughly without needing to flip.

Stack the pancakes, top with a generous drizzle of the icing, and enjoy.

4. Viral cottage cheese pancakes

Cottage cheese pancakes have been a huge trend of late, thanks to the fact they pack a protein punch – GTG’s editorial director Victoria likes the Zoe diet cottage cheese pancakes – but @emthenutritionist’s version has caught our eye – and they’ll appeal to those with more of a sweet tooth. This receipe teams cottage cheese with bananas and the result is a really fluffy and healthy pancake that everyone will love.

@emthenutritionist

Banana bread cottage cheese pancakes Soft, fluffy and impossibly delicious, considering how easy they are to make. These can be premade and heated up, making the perfect dessert or fulfil your weekend brunch dreams. Top with thick creamy yoghurt, a drizzle of nut butter and some fresh berries. You will need to serve 2 257kcal & 11g protein per portion 1 medium banana 1 generous heaped tbsp cottage cheese 2 heaped tbsp of plain flour 1 medium egg 1/2 tsp baking powder pinch of salt 20g dark chocolate cut into chunks To serve: yoghurt, nut butter and berries (option to sweeten the mix with maple, honey or sweetener of choice) Mash the banana. Mix with an egg, pinch of salt, and cottage cheese until combined. Fold in the flour and baking powder, then fold in the chopped dark chocolate. Heat a nonstick frying pan over a low/medium heat, spoon the mix to form small equal sized pancakes. Making them small helps with flipping! Cook for 3 minutes (watch they don’t burn, then the heat down if needed) Flip and cook the other side for 2-3 more minutes. They should feel light and springy to touch. Pair with thick yoghurt, a drizzle of peanut butter and fresh berries. #healthyrecipes #highprotein #wieiad

5. The ones you can make in advance

7. Fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes

The hashtag #soufflepancake has over 880 million views on TikTok and it seems the whole world has gone crazy for this Japanese delight. Soufflé pancakes are much lighter than American pancakes, as they contain less flour and incorporate beaten egg whites with sugar (ie meringue). This creates the height and fluffiness of these pancakes. This recipe from food creators @two.plaid.aprons is super easy and seriously delivers.

9. Savoury pancakes

Don’t have a sweet tooth? We’ve found the cheesiest recipe for any mealtime and you’ll likely have all these ingredients in the house. Not strictly a pancake, but a potato cake filled with cheese created by food influencer @jasmineandtea.

@jasmineandtea

an easy, cheesy potato recipe 🥔 recipe on insta

♬ original sound – Jasmine and Tea

Ingredients for 4 pancakes:

• 1 russet potato (400g)
• salt
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar, add more depending on taste or leave out entirely
• 30g cornstarch
• mozzarella cheese (small cubes or shredded)
• oil for frying

Method:

Dice your potato into cubes and boil in salted water. Mash the potatoes with sugar (optional) and cornflour. Separate this mixture into five balls (or 10 smaller ones), flatten each ball and add some mozzarella cheese in the middle and close it back up into a ball again (this allows the cheese to stay inside). Add your potato-cheese balls into a hot, well-oiled pan and fry – cook on each side for 5 minutes until golden brown. Wait for them to cool down and enjoy this savoury treat – alone or with friends.

10. The Rock’s ‘cheat day’ pancakes

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s eating habits are the subject of endless interest. The actor and former pro wrestler’s ‘cheat day’ meal consists of pancakes stacked high, covered in bananas, and doused in maple syrup and peanut butter all complementing the star ingredient: coconut in multiple forms. Chef and food content creator @twaydabae recreates them here, from the recipe Johnson learned from Janette Puttie Clarke – so props to her for this indulgent feast. Good luck trying to eat that lot!
