Piracanga: Breakfast Pancakes

USUALLY, Zenchai will grow tired of a particular food if you give it to him all the time. That’s probably the case with most people.

But for more than a month now he has been devouring our banana and chia seed pancakes for breakfast without complaint.

It’s a big success because getting food here for self-catering isn’t easy and we have been on a meal plan where we have a buffet lunch at the village restaurant and make breakfast and dinner ourselves.

As Zenchai has been going to school, we try to ensure he starts the day with a hearty breakfast. So my job most mornings is to make the pancakes so that there is a supply on the table by the time Zenchai climbs out of bed and is ready to eat.

It is a simple, yet tasty and nutritious recipe which requires no dairy products or eggs. It can be easily adapted, though, if you prefer the non-vegan variety. The ingredients are basic and if we can get them here, they can be purchased practically anywhere.

We add chia seeds because they are extremely nourishing, being high in omegas, minerals and protein. The endurance runners in the Mexican mountains have been eating them for generations as a rich energy source.

Chia is also easily digested and good for the digestive tract. You could slip in all sorts of other nutrient-rich ingredients without detection if you want, should your child be a fussy eater.

The ingredients are as follows

2 cups of plain flour; 1 tsp baking soda; 1 tsp baking powder; honey or maple syrup for sweetening; 2 bananas; ½ tsp chia seeds; 2-3 cups water (or any liquid of your choice); Coconut oil. (Optional extras: cinnamon; desiccated coconut; vanilla essence)

Put the flour, baking soda and baking powder into a bowl and stir together. In a separate dish peel and mash the bananas into a paste (use a blender or food processor if you have one).

Mix the chia seeds with 1/3 cup of water in a small glass and allow to stand for several minutes (the chia seeds become gel-like). Add the banana and some honey/maple syrup to the flour, pour in the chia seed mixture and water. Mix it all together to make your pancake paste.

The chia seed is obviously an optional ingredient and water can be substituted for milk. If you are vegan, you can use many different milk alternatives (almond, rice, soy, hazelnut etc). I prefer crepe-like pancakes, but my wife, being American, likes the fat ones. For the latter just use less water to make it thicker.

Heat a drop of coconut oil in the pan and pour in some of the paste (I use a large spoon). Flip the pancake when cooked on one side. I usually get about 15 crepe-like pancakes and we eat them with honey and coconut.

Sometimes we cook some apples in cinnamon. But use any mix you like. Our pancakes haven’t just been a hit with Zenchai. The other residents like it, too. Our former Romanian house-mates, who had been making them in a pancake house, even said they wouldn’t go back to using eggs and milk!

我把头发染成了白金色，然后给我妈打电话。我弱弱的跟我妈说：“妈，我把头发染成了白金色……”我妈嗯了一声。然后我就问：“我这样回去你不生气呀？”我妈很和气地说：“没事，回来再说，大不了就打死你。”后来挂电话，我妈没按挂断键，我就听见她跟我姥恶狠狠地说：“这个小逼崽子，回来看我不掰断他腰！！！”老婆，儿子总有一天会长大的，到时候你情何以堪啊？
