• Add all the ingredients to a blender cup.
  2 cups oats, 2 bananas, 4 tbsps vegan protein powder, 2 tbsps coconut sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 cup soy milk, Pinch salt
• Blend to a smooth cake-batter consistency. Adjust liquid as needed.
• If you'd like, you can also dice half a poached pear and stir into the batter.
• Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan. You can use less oil if you are using a non-stick pan.
• Spoon in 3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake and cook for about 30 seconds on each side. It should make about 8 to 10 four-inch pancakes.
• Remove from the pan and serve warm with your desired toppings.
  hazelnut butter, maple syrup

Poached Pears

• Peel pears and cut in half. Then take a spoon and scoop the center out with the seeds.
  2 Bosc or Anjou pears, 1 ½ cups water, 2 whole star anise, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, Pinch salt, 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
• Add water, sugar and spices to a pot and bring to boil at high heat.
• Next place the pears into the liquid and lower heat to a gentle simmer. At this point, cover the pot and let it cook for 25 to 30 mins. You’ll know it’s done when you can pierce them with a fork.
• Allow to cool and use immediately or store the pears and poaching liquid in a container in the fridge.
