8 mins read time  |  Written by Hayley Shedden

While you may not be able to get away to a far-flung destination this year, you can still relish a taste of the exotic with a little help from Plenish. From the wonderfully nutty almond, cashew and hazelnut to the creamy oat, soya and coconut, the delicious plant-based milks in the Plenish range are ideal for using in a whole host of breakfast recipes.

Each milk is made with the highest quality organic and sustainably sourced ingredients to bring you great taste without compromise. Created with just a handful of natural ingredients and no additives, just like you would make them at home, the milks contain up to 95% less sugar, 90% less saturated fat and 30% fewer calories than semi-skimmed dairy milk.

And not only are these plant-based milks better for you, but they’re also better for the planet too. They produce up to 75% fewer carbon emissions than dairy, helping you to cut your carbon footprint – what’s more, Plenish is officially carbon negative!

Coconut + lime
pancake recipe

Cook 20 mins Prep 5 mins   Easy   Serves 8

Thanks to the Plenish Coconut Milk, these pancakes have a lovely fresh flavour, and are topped with zesty lime, fresh blueberries and creamy coconut yogurt

Ingredients
  • 170g self-raising flour
  • 30g coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 260ml Plenish Coconut Milk
  • 80g blueberries, plus extra to serve
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • coconut yogurt, to serve
  • hemp seeds, to serve
Method

1.  In a large bowl combine the self-raising flour, coconut flour, baking powder and most of the lime zest.

2.  Add all the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir lightly to create a batter – you are aiming for a thick but spoon-able batter that is pourable. If it’s too dry add a little more milk, and if it’s too wet, add a little more self-raising flour.

3.  Melt a little of the coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add a big spoonful of the batter and use the back of a spoon to shape it into a disc. Cook for 1-2 mins on each side, until golden and fluffy, and bubbles start to form on the surface. Repeat another seven times, stacking the pancakes on a plate as you cook them, covering with a tea towel to keep warm.

4.  Once all cooked, split the pancakes between two plates, then serve with the remaining lime zest, the extra blueberries, a little coconut yogurt and a sprinkle of hemp seeds.
