You know when you bake pancakes and you always eat the (crunchy) bits of the side of the pancakes, because it’s so delicious? I sometimes make these bits on purpose. A while ago someone said I should make it into a recipe and so I did. It might sound a little strange at first and that was why I wasn’t aware that what I was doing, might be something that other people like as well. So, here we go. I hope you like it! It’s super easy to make btw. To make it a little bit more fancy, I serve it here with something crunchy. Not just something crunchy.. but crunchy banana peels! Did you ever eat banana peels? I love it and it’s perfect against food waste. Another probably new things though, but it’s worth a try!
SCRUMPTIOUS
Serves: 2
batter
1 cup oat milk
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 tbs maple syrup
1/2 tbs almond butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
crunch (optional)
peel of 1 banana (organic)
1 tbs coconut oil
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
extra
fresh fruit
(coconut) yogurt
flaked almonds
-You start with the crunch. Use a spoon to scrape the soft inside from the banana peel.
-Cut them in length.
-Put the coconut oil in a frying pan and when it’s all melted, fry the banana peel, on both sides, until they start to become crispy and brown (a few minutes).
-Take the peel out of the pan and sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar on top of them straight away, so it will tick to the oil. Then put aside.
-Mix all the batter ingredients together.
-Put a tiny bit of coconut oil in a frying pan and as soon as the pan is nice and hot, pour in the batter.
-Start mixing it straight away, like you would do with scrambled tofu. You will see that it will start to form little balls. Keep mixing it until it starts to be a little crispy on the sides.
-Serve with fresh fruit, (coconut) yogurt, almonds and the crunchy banana peel.

Tuesday it’s national pancake day. A very important day if you’d ask me, haha! Pancakes are so goodddd.. and it doesn’t matter what time of the day you eat them. It’s totally acceptable to eat them for breakfast, for lunch or dinner and even as a snack or dessert! I realised though, that there is no pancake recipe on my blog yet. I don’t know how that happened, but shame on me. So here we go, a delicious, easy to make, basic pancake recipe. This way you can easily add things, so they will turn out exactly the way you like them. Add a pinch of cinnamon or a tbs of cacao powder. Eat them with fresh fruit, raisins and/or maple syrup or simply eat them with some jam (
PANCAKE YAY
Yay, finally another London hotspot and not just a hotspot, but Wulf & Lamb! I spend my bank holiday weekend in London with my dog Nola and I was staying at a lovely AirBnB in Battersea. I had a very relaxing weekend and didn’t want to force myself to go hotspot hunting as I was having a little break from blogging. Only on the last day I decided to just have a look on Happy Cow to see what is around. That’s where Wulf & Lamb popped up and the pictures made me want to go there. So just before I took the train home I crossed the Battersea Bridge to check out their brunch options. My lovely AirBnB host Isabel, who is a vegetarian (but eats mostly vegan though!), came with me, so double fun.
It was a lovely sunny weekend and the bank holiday Monday wasn’t any different, so we sat outside. Wulf & Lamb is just behind Sloan Square in a lovely little, but spacious, street. I got us 2 menus whilst Isabel stayed outside with Nola. It was hard to choose as it’s an amazing menu! Isabel went for The Full Wulf Breakfast and a coffee and I went for the Fluffy American Pancakes (I secretly hoped that they had waffles, but pancakes are fine too) and a turmeric latte. At the till there are lots of baked treats, including apricot and apple croissants. I bought them for later and I can now tell you that they were so yum! Especially the one with apple. We didn’t have to wait very long before there were 2 plates in front of us with amazing looking food. They then asked me if Nola would like a whole organic vegan dog treat.. uhh yes please! How amazing is that?! Just as the food.. my goodness, the pancakes were so tasty. 
I especially liked it that the pancakes were on top of the syrup and not covered in syrup. It came with fresh berries and some delicious cream on the side. Boy, how I enjoyed it all. Isabel’s breakfast looked amazing too. There was something that looked like scrambled eggs, but we couldn’t quite figure out what it actually was. It looked a bit like jackfruit, but it turned out it was made of an ackee fruit. I’ve never heard of it, but it’s nice when restaurants use uncommon things that turn out te be so good. I definitely recommend these 2 options.. but I saw they also have a Wulf burger made of seitan and as a true burger lover, I need to try this. I’ll be back for sure!
Wulf & Lamb is only a minute walk from Sloan Square. It’s away from all the busy traffic, in a lovely street. You can sit inside, but with lovely weather like on the day I went, you can sit outside too. In the morning you’ll sit in the shade, but if you like to sit in the sunshine instead, you should go for a late lunch. The building and interior are simple, but classy and beautiful. I like it. I really liked to see that there was a water bowl for dogs at the entrance. As a dog mummy I really appreciate things like this and you feel more welcome to be there with your dog. Wulf&Lamb did top that up with offering the (vegan!) dog treat to Nola. It really was the cherry on top! The staff is super friendly and I definitely recommend this place.
