By Melissa MortensonThis week I challenged myself to make a bomb vegan dish that was not only simple but quick. I used a recipe I found via Pinterest as inspiration and put my own spin on it (adding avocado). This recipe is so simple; honestly, it only has four ingredients, oats, a banana, almond or soymilk, and an avocado. I got a little fancy and garnished my plate with sliced bananas, as well as drizzled on some organic syrup, honey and cinnamon. Not going to lie, I devoured these and here’s how you can too.
Ingredients •1/2 cup rolled oats •1 banana •3 1/2 tbsp milk of choice •2-3 tbsp of avocado (makes about 3-4 pancakes) Directions Puree ingredients in a blender Grease a skillet very well so the pancakes won’t stick before flipping Pour ladles of batter onto the greased skillet. As soon as the pancakes are cooked enough that you can get a pancake flipper underneath without breaking the pancakes, flip and cook an additional minute. Finish with desired toppings (Total Time 10 minutes) Recipe Inspo- http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2016/01/11/flourless-pancakes-vegan-banana/

By Maria BentsonSo, I recently have become obsessed with hiding avocado in everything, I’ll just make a quick plug here for putting them in smoothies too. It is such a versitile fruit (yes, it is a fruit), and gives everything it goes into a thicker, creamier base. I stumbled upon this mint avocado grasshopper recpie while my friend Allie and I were looking for a healthier dessert to make while watching the final episode of “The Bachelor.” The taste of these guys exceeded all expectations. They were SO GOOD. You would literally think you were eating an Andes Mint. By far my favorite faux dessert I have made thus far and additionally, they take hardly any time to prepare. We decided to call them the tall, dark, and handsome because of the smooth, homemade chocolate covering over the creamy avocado and coconut bottom, but mostly just because of the chocolate. Honestly who doesn’t need some tall, dark, and handsome in their life? Shoutout to you Ben Higgins.
