Protein Pancakes

I didn't have time on Sunday to sort anything exciting for my breakfasts for this week, but with the bad weather I still want something hot (I can't eat oats, so porridge is off the menu).

These pancakes are made by mashing together a banana, with 1 tbsp of dessicated coconut, 1tbsps of coconut flour and 1tbsp of pea protein. I served with raspberries and a squeeze of lemon. The pancakes have 11.5g of protein, which I"m always told to work into breakfast more often :)

Hey this is a fantastic breakfast and would be exciting enough for me as I love raspberries and pancakes. 😊

I also can't tolerate oats because they still contain avenin's the gluten like prolamins in oats which are still toxic to coeliac...hence the guidance of no more than 50g per day if you can tolerate them...☹️

I don't think we were ever given a number to limit oats, we were just told to cut them out for a short time, and try them again - my OH does eat quite a lot, and he's OK.

I'm a weird case - I'm not coeliac, and have been OK with little bits of wheat, so I just don't know if I'm an anomaly that reacts to avenin, but not gluten.

Hi, coeliac in the UK are advised to introduce pure oats gradually and then adults are advised not to exceed 50g and children 15g in 24 hours. Oats are naturally low in oat gluten avenins hence the advised maximum advised amount and lots of us can't tolerate them.

Are you okay with certified GF oats?

No, unfortunately not :( I'm actually alright with gluten, but tend to avoid it because my OH has coeliac disease, and it's just easier.

That looks really good! Don`t know where I find the ingredients for that here. So , porridge is oatmeal, I always wondered what people meant by porridge, to me it was something they had in a fairytale! Kinda like a soup or stew.

Yes, it's oatmeal :)

If you're in the US, I think dessicated coconut is called shredded coconut instead, if that means anything to you?

Thanks, I`m in Texas, off to see Dr. at 9:00 it is 4:35 AM here. Probably will have old fashion oatmeal and mandarins for breakfast.

The pea protein provides 8g of protein, the rest is in the coconut/banana :)

I was surprised! I thought a tablespoon was a half serving, but I weighed it to check.

The brand I use is Pulsin - unflavoured. You can get flavoured versions, but possibly a bit lower on protein due to the flavourings/sweeteners.
