Ingredients (Serves 2-3):
-
2 tablespoons (or 2 sachets) of Warm Feelings® saffron latte
-
4 tablespoons Agent Nateur Marine Collagen powder
-
3/4 cup einkorn flour
-
3 large eggs
-
½ cup milk of choice (adjust for consistency)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for cooking)
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese (optional, for added savory flavor)
-
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, dill, or chives)
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
Pinch of sea salt
-
Butter for greasing the pan
Assembly:
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together einkorn flour, Warm Feelings® saffron latte powder, collagen powder, baking powder, and sea salt.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk of choice, and olive oil until well combined.
-
Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth. If using Parmesan and fresh herbs, gently fold them into the batter. Adjust consistency with a little more milk if the batter feels too thick.
-
Cook Pancakes: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
-
Flip: Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges set and bubbles form on the surface. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
-
Serve: Stack the pancakes and serve warm with your choice of savory toppings.
-
Topping Suggestions:
-
Yogurt Sauce: Use Greek or coconut yogurt mixed with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and finely chopped herbs.
-
Sautéed Greens: Lightly sautéed spinach with garlic for a nutritious complement.
-
Avocado and Eggs: Top with sliced avocado and a soft-boiled or poached egg.
