The P² Pancake! Delicious Probiotic Protein-rich Pancakes (Recipe)

Guest recipe and blog by Evergreen D. / @evergreen_nourishyourchi

If you’re reading this, you’re likely no stranger to the incredible effects of probiotics on gut and total body health. Personally,  I am particularly fond of getting as many of those miracle gut-friendly buddies into my system. All those good bacteria in the gut go a long way in supporting your immune system and play a massive role in nearly every facet of our health – right from digestion, to energy levels, to weight gain, and even anxiety!

As I always say when it comes to gut support - "A little every single day, will keep you healthy a long way"

In the past, I’ve sometimes had trouble popping pills – That’s why I do my best to try and find ways of incorporating their contents into everyday meals to maximize the benefit. So, when I learned that Just Thrive Probiotic strains can survive SUPER high temperatures and retain their potency, I skipped with joy! With any recipe, I can just break open a capsule or 2 in my meals and make my family gobble them down without them even knowing! 

For this particular recipe – The creation of my P² Pancakes came on a lovely spring day when I was trying to come up with a picnic snack that I could carry along for the kids to give them the benefit of something tasty and healthy and that they could gorge on guilt-free. 

These gluten-free pancakes incorporate the goodness of finger millets, pasture-raised eggs, and (of course) Just Thrive Probiotic, and make for an excellent breakfast and snack option. I hope you enjoy having them as my family does!

The P² Pancake (Recipe)

Ingredients

  • 2 large overripe bananas (you can substitute these for any sweetener of your choice, but I almost always have overripe bananas lying around to be added as a natural sweetener in my baking recipes). 
  • 1/2 cup sprouted ragi flour (you can substitute with any gluten-free flour of your choice, but it’s worth mentioning: Finger millet/ragi has a very impressive nutritive profile and is a very rich source of calcium and protein. Moreover, it gives that lovely brown hue which often gets my guests wondering whether it is a chocolate version of our regular pancakes!)
  • 2 pasture-raised organic eggs 
  • 1-2 tablespoons organic maple syrup (optional- depending on how sweet you would like it to be)
  • Just Thrive Probiotic capsules (open caps, dump in contents)
  • A splash of organic vanilla extract
  • 2 pods worth of freshly ground cardamom powder
  • Organic coconut oil
  • Lots of love 😊

Instructions

Step 1– Mash the bananas with a spoon or fork in a mixing bowl 

Step 2– Crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk them well with the mashed bananas. 

Step 3– Add sprouted ragi flour, the powder from 3 Just Thrive Probiotic capsules, and cardamom along with the rest of the ingredients. Mix them well till they amalgamate into a nice flowy batter. 

Step 4– Heat your cast iron pan or skillet. Add a generous quantity of coconut oil, enough to shallow fry the pancakes and get the goodness of the coco oil into our bodies too. 

Step 5- Add spoonsful of the batter once the oil is warm to form little pancakes. Flip it to the other side after it develops a nice browned surface.

These pancakes taste best when served warm. But they taste delicious anyway.

 

Sending lots of healthy and gut-friendly wishes your way. 

Love,
