Scallion Pancakes

While pancakes may be our favorite breakfast dish, they’re not necessarily the most slimming breakfast option. Now you can have your cake and eat it too while on the Bikini Cleanse. With the help of nutrient dense cauliflower and protein-packed eggs, you’ll feel energized and focused all day long.

Ingredients (Serves 2-3)

  • 8 oz. organic cauliflower

  • 1/4 cup water

  • ¼ cup of scallions, chopped

  • ¼ cup of organic onion, chopped finely (optional)

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil

 

Directions

1. Manually cut the cauliflower into coarse florets then mince through a food processor or a vegetable grater.

2. In a large saucepan fitted with a lid, heat up 1/4 cup of water until it is boiling. Place all of the minced cauliflower in the saucepan, give it a quick stir, cover and turn off the heat. Let steam for exactly 10 minutes (no more, no less).

3. After the 10 minutes, remove the cauliflower from the saucepan into a fine mesh bag and squeeze all of the moisture out. Move the strained cauliflower into a small bowl and set aside.

4. Mince your onion and chop your scallion into rounds. Crack two eggs into a small bowl. Then combine.

5. Whisk the eggs with a fork, then toss it, along with the scallions, onion, and cauliflower in a medium bowl until well combined.

6. In a large fry-pan, heat up 2 tablespoons of coconut oil on medium heat, then place all of the egg mixture into the pan. Spread it out with a spatula to evenly cover the whole pan. Let fry for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.

7. Flip the pancake. Slide the pancake (browned side still down) from the pan onto a large plate, invert the fry pan onto the plate and flip both together back onto the stove, making it so that the uncooked side is now at the bottom. Cook for another 3 minutes or until golden brown.

8. Slide the pancake from the pan to a large plate, cut into 6 pieces and serve!
