Hello foodies, 

 So I went back to the drawing board and I think I've come up with my best recipe for oatmeal pancakes yet. This recipe should make about 3-4 pancakes. Let's get into it.



  Ingredients 
  • 10 tbsps Oatmeal flour(aka blended oats)
  • 1 tsp of baking powder 
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp of olive oil
  • 2 tbsps of wholemeal flour (optional) 
  • Almond milk ( depending on how thick you want them) 
  • 1 medium egg (optional)


Method
  1. Put all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix them
  2. If you're using eggs, mix the eggs with the wet ingredients 
  3. Combine both and mix with a whisk or a fork until you get your desired consistency 
  4. Put a frying pan on the cooker and add a tsp of olive oil. 
  5. When the oil is hot, pour one serving spoon of the batter. Leave to cook until you see bubbles then flip and cook the other side for about 2 minutes 
  6. Serve and enjoy!!

Oil free mixed vegetable Soup

Hello Foodies,

So this is a modified version of one of my favourite foods, efo riro. It's a traditional yoruba soup intended to be eaten with swallow but can be eaten with anything from rice to beans to yam porridge. So here's my recipe for an oil free mixed vegetable soup.

Ingredients
1 bag of spinach
1 bag of kale
1 carrot
5 scotch bonnet peppers
2 sweet long peppers
2 medium onions
1 red bell pepper
1 tsp ginger
2 maggi cubes
salt to taste


Method

  1. Slightly blend the peppers, the carrot, and onions
  2. Then put the mix into a pot and boil until there's no more water 
  3. Add your seasoning.* Let this sit for about 2 minutes 
  4. Chop the kale and spinach and soak in hot water and salt (in separate bowls) for about 1 minute. After this drain and set aside.
  5. Then mix the kale into the pepper mixture, and let it sit for about 7 minutes
  6. Lastly, add the spinach into the pepper mix and let it sit for about 1 - 2 minutes. Check it from time to time to make sure it doesn't burn. 
  7. Serve and enjoy !!!
*If you intend on adding protein to this meal, it should be prepared beforehand and added when the seasoning is added
