šŸ„ž Functional Mushroom Flapjacks (a.k.a. Flap Jakes)Ā Ingredients:

  • Ā¾ cup flour of your choiceĀ (Banana, oat, almond, or whole wheat - your call!)
  • Ā¼ cup mushroom powderĀ (Choose your boost: Lionā€™s Mane for focus, Cordyceps for energy, Maitake for immunity, or Tremella for skin hydration)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Ā¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar (coconut, brown, or any you prefer)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla powder)
  • 1 egg (or plant-based substitute like flax egg: 1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut all work great)

šŸ”„ Optional Boosts:

  1. Add a small mashed banana for natural sweetness and potassium
  2. Add blueberries for a fresh flavor burstĀ 
  3. If you are not a fan of mushrooms then use hemp seed protein powder for extra recovery support
  4. Sprinkle in cinnamon, cacao or nutmeg for warmth and depth
  5. To enhance the richness and savory essence of your flap jack, elevate the mushroom powder to 1/2 and reduce the flour to 1/2 - the choice of mushroom will strongly influence the texture, making it more culinary experimentation.

šŸ³ Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the egg (or substitute), milk, and vanilla.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Let it rest for 5ā€“10 minutes for fluffier flapjacks.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly.
  5. Pour Ā¼ cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, flip, and cook until golden.
  6. Serve warm with nut butter, fruit, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
