​#Wellnesscracked walnut pancakes


When California Walnuts asked me to be a part of their #WellnessCracked campaign, who was I to say no?!
​As well as being one of my favourite nuts to snack on, walnuts are a staple in my baking cupboard. Did you know there are so many benefits to this so-called super nut?
​Here are 10 reasons why walnuts= wellness

     Helps keep your heart healthy
     Boosts your energy
     Packed with plant-based Omega-3s
    Protects your natural defences
   Helps keep tiredness at bay
    Supports brain function and vision
Helps keep your skin and hair nourished
   Helps to keep your bones and teeth healthy
     Packed with good fats
  Nutritious snack

​As part of their campaign, I was challenged to create a recipe using only five ingredients! Immediately I knew what I wanted to make and was quickly putting pen to paper to see what ingredient combinations I could come up with using California Walnuts mild, sweet and naturally creamy walnuts.

Recipe

Serves One
​Makes 3 medium pancakes


1 Medium Banana
1 Egg
1/2 Cup Oats
1/2 Cup California Walnuts
Dash of Almond Milk

Coconut Oil to cook
​​

​Method

Put all of the ingredients in a food processor/blender and blend until smooth. It will take a few minutes to really break up the walnuts.
​The consistency of the mix should be nice and runny. If it isn't then just add a little more almond milk until you have the correct consistency.
Heat a little coconut in a frying pan on a medium to high heat.
​Pour the mixture into the pan a little bit at a time and cook for around 40-50 seconds on each side.
Top with all your favourite toppings!

I used coconut yoghurt (Coconut Collaborative), crushed California Walnuts, pomegranate seeds and maple syrup.​
