Oatmeal Coconut Blueberry Pancakes (Animal Free)

Posted by Heather On March - 28 - 2008

I’ve been trying to cut as many animal products out of our diet as possible for general (as well as some specific) health reasons. The following recipe is Meat Lover Approved™!

Oatmeal Coconut Blueberry Pancakes

Ingredients:
1 1/8 cup soy
(WestSoy Plus Organic), almond, or other nut milk
1 cup rolled oats
2 eggs equivalent Ener-G egg replacer
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/4-1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup flour
(all-purpose or whole wheat)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
(optional.. I don’t use it)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup toasted coconut
*
1/2 blueberries (fresh or frozen, thawed)

Combine soy milk and oats. Allow oats to soak for at least five minutes to soften them. Whisk egg replacer with warm water until frothy and add, along with the oil and vanilla to the oat mixture. Mix well. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cook on a hot, lightly oiled (I used Earth Balance margarine… the only kind I like). Use about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of batter for each pancake, depending on how big you like your pancakes! Turn them when the edges are slightly brown. Make sure they cook all the way through. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with pure maple syrup, if desired.

* Toasted coconut
Spread coconut flakes evenly on a baking sheet or piece of heavy duty foil. Bake at 350° for 5-10 minutes, stirring at least once. Using a timer is a good idea. I forgot to one time and my coconut burst into flame. That was fun.

XTC – Making Plans for Nigel

Posted by Heather On March - 27 - 2008

This song popped up on my play list.. I hadn’t heard it in a long time. This is from 1979, but I added it to the ’80s category because it fits better!

Junk in the Box

Posted by Heather On March - 24 - 2008

I’ve posted the SNL skit, Dick in a Box, before (elsewhere) but the videos keep disappearing due to terms violations. Hulu offers the censored version, but you all know how I feel about censorship. Anyway, I thought I’d post it again here, so imagine my delight when I found this remake (involving furries) presented alongside the original. Well done, creepy furries!
