Breakfast, of course. Lunch, why not. Snack, sure. Dinner, heck yeah. It’s easy to say “Yes” to pancakes when they are full of nutrient rich ingredients like the ones in this recipe. Dust off your griddle and give these a try this weekend or ANYTIME!

Some of these links are Amazon affiliate links. That means if you click on a link and buy that item (or something totally different) Messy Adventure gets a small percentage at no extra cost to you. It’s one of the small ways you can help bloggers like myself make this whole dream a little more attainable. Thanks friend!

Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 25 mins

Equipment

  • blender or food processor
  • Griddle suggested but can be made stovetop as well

Ingredients
  

  • 2 & 1/2 cups Oatmeal (instant or old fashion)
  • 1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 medium sized zucchini
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 ripe avocado (or 1 whole tiny avocado)
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant milk
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp liquid vanilla
  • oil or butter for greasing griddle/pan

Instructions
 

  • If using* heat griddle to 350 degrees
  • Add 2 and half cups of oats to your food processor and blend until flour like consistency
  • Add 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder and 1/2 tsp of salt and blend again
  • Make sure oats are blended well and add them to a medium to large mixing bowl
  • Peel zucchini so that you see mostly the white portion
  • Chop zucchini into cubes, add to food processor and blend
  • Add eggs, applesauce, avocado, maple syrup and blend well
  • Add cup of milk (of choice) and blend until a smooth liquid is achieved
  • Slowly add liquid to your bowl of oat flour
  • Add 1 tbsp of cinnamon and then 1 tbsp of vanilla to batter
  • Using spatula mix ingredients together
  • Make sure to grease griddle (350 degrees) or pan (medium heat). I like to use a pure olive oil spray.
  • Use a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop the batter and pour on the griddle. Fill up about half way for smaller pancakes. Fill it entirely for larger pancakes.
  • Pour batter onto griddle leaving an inch or two between pancakes. Set timer for 5 minutes, and wait, don't skip the timer.
  • Once timer goes off they should flip easily. Use spatula to flip and then flatten just slightly so the whole surface is touching the hot griddle. Set timer immediately for additional 3 minutes.
  • Continue this process until pancake batter is finished, making sure to re-grease pan in between batches if not using a non-stick surface.
  • Once finished move pancakes to a paper towel lined cutting board or pan to catch excess moister from heat. Or of course straight to a plate for immediate consumption.
  • Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge with paper towels to catch access moister. Keeps for up to 3 days.

Notes

The timer is key in getting the perfectly flippable pancake, don’t skip.
Serve with pure maple syrup, nut butter or plain. 
To re-heat, warm up in the microwave for just a few seconds, in the toaster oven or on broil in a conventional oven.  
Perfect for anytime of day. 
Last 3 days in the fridge. 

Tips for picky eaters:
Serve the pancakes different times of day like for a snack or in a lunch box.
Have them help you cook.
Talk about the helpful benefits of zucchini, avocado and oats with them.
Serve with toppings, like maple syrup, berries, whip cream or nut butters
Don’t force bites but encourage and celebrate them.

Live well friends,
Christy

Captains log: June 1st. We are only ankle deep int Captains log: June 1st. We are only ankle deep into summer but the eldest child has already stepped on a nail, while the youngest child got herself bit by a dog, and Anna had unfortunate decapitation accident. Everyone is fine, well everyone but Anna. I’m just hopeful this is not an indication of how the rest of the summer will go. 

I had taken some time of the socials to focus on a writing project that I hope to share with you soon. I have some posts planned but help me get back into the swing of things and let me know what kinds of info you will find most helpful this summer:

Enjoy your day off, hotdogs, and boat rides but remember to never forget the high cost of freedom. 

If you feel comfortable comment the names of those who you are remembering and honoring today.

After talking with my mentor Tammy of @footprintsofinspiration a few months ago, she gave me the healthy kick in the pants I needed to start my long time dream of writing a book. My first goal is to finish a (very) rough draft by the time my kids get out of school. I’m halfway there. Some days are incredibly overwhelming, and I feel like it’s an impossible task. Other days, I keep putting one foot in front of the other. I much prefer to tackle this project in the secret depths where my vulnerability would not be threatened; however, the book I’m reading, “Published” by Chandler Bolt demands you tell your friends, family, and the lady checking you out at the grocery store. Much like running a marathon, the accountability is a crucial piece of the puzzle. 

My goal is to help and encourage you here in this small corner of the internet. And because I call you friends, I hope the same from you at times. 

For those who have a dream. 
Try. 
Not trying is the only real failure.

Quinoa- I still have the darnedest time spelling i Quinoa- I still have the darnedest time spelling it correctly. 

Here’s a simple way to prepare it that will make quinoa something you actually want to eat, and three ways to use it up!

What are your feelings on the healthy ancient grain that’s loaded with many important nutrients, including fiber, protein, folate, and magnesium? Or possibly the more important question, can you spell it?

Jesus’ actions on the cross and his resurrection Jesus’ actions on the cross and his resurrection three days later moved the church from a building to a body. A body of people. Broken people that He is constantly mending and saving over and over until He comes again.

A lot of people believe in God. A lot of people pray to God. But people still need Jesus. And the plan has always been Jesus. 

Happy Easter friends ✝️🐰

On Palm Sunday crowds gathered to see Jesus enter On Palm Sunday crowds gathered to see Jesus enter Jerusalem. During His 3 year earthly ministry he told many NOT to testify of His messehanic kingship. But now the time had come for his triumphant entry and the crowds shouted, Hosanna. God saves! They threw their cloaks on the ground symbolizing their submission to Jesus as their coming King. The King they waited for, and hoped would save them from the oppression of the Romans. 
 
Only days later many of the very same people who shouted Hosanna, shouted to crucify Him.
 
They believed in Jesus who performed miracles, healed the sick, fed thousands, resurrected the dead, cared for the broken, poor and destitute. But refused to surrender to a king who showed us how to surrender it all. 
 
Sometimes, a lot of times, it is much easier believing in Christ than it is to surrender to Him and His perfect will. 
 
Maybe we are not the fickle crowds quickly trading praise for prejudice, but how often do our hearts refuse a full surrender?
 
My prayer for myself, my family and yours is that we may be the same people on Psalm Sunday that we are on Good Friday and beyond. 
 
So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” John 12:13

Is it still Monday? Been one of those days, week Is it still Monday? 

Been one of those days, weeks, years where you can’t get ahead. 

These herbs on my window seal are a simple joy. When the storms keep coming in waves, simple joys bring in the sunshine. 

Here’s how I keep my basil alive. Buy one of the small plants in the soil, available most grocery stores. Stick it in a small glass cup in a window or your kitchen where you will see it and water it every other day. Basil is thirsty! 

Cilantro, is a beast to keep alive. I used to never use it all before it went bad and hated that. Now I keep the bushel like fresh cut flowers right next to my basil. Trim the ends and stick it in a cup of water. This batch has been happy for 2 and half weeks, just keep water in the cup. 

I use them in salads, tacos, garnish, even smoothies! I hope my joy brings you some. 

Will you share one of your simple joys with us in the comments? 👇

P.S. Can you read my painting? Gifted to me by the loving and talented @christiarnettedesignsart
