On Food Fridays I will tell you about everything I ate that day. No matter if it is a good day or not: you will see it all.

Today I slept in after having awful sleep quality for the past few days at my dorm (music playing, people talking, paper-thin walls… You get the picture!) and woke up around 11 AM. That’s so so so late for me! After that I did normal morning things and then when I wanted to go running, it was already noon and I felt so hungry. I decided to eat and postbone my run for some hours. Ended up going for a run in the dark since the sun sets around 3 PM.

Nutrition information

 

 

All in total 1440 kcal. What the hell? How come I don’t feel hungry when the calories are this low? Weird stuff happening… Yesterday I felt hungry even after eating almost 2000 kcal. Macro ratios are good though, maybe the high fat ratio made me feel more full, I don’t really know.

Next (the last of 2013!) Food Friday in a week! 🙂

Almond and flaxseed pancakes

Published on by Margit ParteiLisa kommentaar

These pancakes are amazing to have as dessert or breakfast. They also contain no protein powder which some people do not like. Also, sometimes protein powder can push you out of ketosis if it makes your protein to fat ratio too high. So here is a different version of pancakes that I love to enjoy on Sunday mornings 🙂 Low carb, sugar-free, grain-free, gluten-free and also guilt-free. 

Makes 14 pancakes.

 

What do you need?

  • 20 grams flax seed flour

  • 20 grams of almond flour (Meira brand is available in Selver chain grocery stores in Estonia)

  • 3 eggs

  • sweetener to taste

  • vanilla extract (optional)

  • water (if needed)

  • 1/3 teaspoon of baking soda

  • 25 grams of butter (for frying)

 

How to make them?

 

Preheat your pan to medium high heat.

Whisk your eggs until lightly foamy. Now add in sweetener and vanilla, mix well. Add almond and flax seed flour and baking soda, mix really well. Set the batter aside for about 5 minutes at let it thicken since the flours will tie some of the moisture from the egg. 

If the batter is now too thick, add a splash of water. I didn’t need any since my eggs were on the larger side. You are now ready to fry your pancakes. I used about 25 grams of butter for frying them.

From this amount I got 14 little pancakes. They tasted really good!

Feel free to add toppings like nut butter, some berries, cottage cheese, quark, sour cream or whipped cream. They are also yummy plain without anything in addition.

Enjoy!
