Protein Pancakes with light berry drizzle

Protein Pancakes

1/2 C rolled oats (preferred NOT quick oats)

1 C whole wheat flour

1 scoop Blendfresh protein powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp sea salt

Blend the above ingredients together to mix in a Wildside jar.  Then add to the jar;

2 C very warm water

1 Tbsp coconut oil

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 scoop Blendfresh Red (optional)

Blend until it makes a smooth batter, you may add a little extra water if it's too thick.  You can pour straight from your blender jar onto a hot griddle.  I like to use a cast iron skillet (it adds trace amounts of iron to your foods) with coconut oil on it to keep food from sticking.  Watch for my post on coconut oil and why it's so good to add it to your recipes.  This recipe makes 12 hearty pancakes.  Two will be very filling, so the recipe easily serves 6 people.

Light Berry Drizzle (syrup)

1 1/2 C fresh (or frozen) raspberries

1 Tbsp maple syrup

Add the ingredients to your Blendtec Twister Jar if you have one.  This makes a smaller batch and you can use the Twister lid as a spatula to scrape down the food that hits the sides of the jar.  Pour it straight onto pancakes.  This is about the right amout of berry syrup for three people.  Some of the people at my table prefer maple syrup and so I make a small batch so I won't have any left over. 

If you double or triple the recipe, you can make this in a regular blender jar.  (It will be too small of a batch to gain speed in a large jar if you are just making a single batch).  If you are making a larger batch, you can use the hot soup setting and the blender blade will spin so fast that it actually uses friction to heat the syrup and you can serve it hot over the pancakes.  Yum!  If you are thinking about getting a better blender with some of these cool features click here.

This is the Blendtec Express Pro (see the led screen says "Gibbs Fam"?!).  It is holding the smaller Twister jar used to make the berry syrup.

What's this Twiser Jar from Blendtec?!

At first glance it may look like just a regular blender jar, but the Twister Jar is different.  Remember how in your mother told you to mix something in a bowl, then stop and scrape the sides of the bowl and mix again?  This is the modern simplified version.  Throw your food into your Twister Jar and turn the patented Twister lid the opposite way from how the blade spins.  The two black scrapers that extend down the sides from the lid scrape the accumulated food from the side of the jar.  Genius!  From nuts to fresh nut butter in about 20 seconds right in front of you!  Keep reading to see how you can get your Twister Jar here for less than the actual Blendtec website!

The Twister Jar fits any model of Blendtec blender and is a smaller jar than the full sized Wildside or Four Side jars, so ideal for small batches of single serve protein drinks, salad dressing, baby food, etc.  It is specifically meant to handle more like a food processor, so things like hummus, olive tapenade, pesto, granola, dips, thick shakes, etc are perfectly made in this.  

It comes with a gripper top for more liquid blends that don't need to use the scraper top.  And as a bonus... the Spectacula!  This is a great spatula engineered specifically to fit way down the curved side of the Twister Jar.  No more bending your wrist at odd angles to scrape your jar out.  And since Blendtec blades are not sharp (they pulverize food instead of cutting it, and this way can be thicker, stronger and safer than any other blender), your blade will never cut your spatula and leave places for bacteria to grow in it.

The Twister Jar is BPA free, compatible with all Blendtec blenders, has easy to read markings on the jar up to 16 ounces, and has a 3 year warranty.  It weighs about 1.5 pounds and is 4.75" wide x 7" deep (with spout and handle) x 7.5" tall (9.75" with lid).

LOVE this jar!

I have used this jar multiple times every day since I took it out of the box!  I've made ther Berry Soft Serve recipe from the booklet every day.  I've made Raw Ranch Dresshing, Macadamia Cream, Raw Russian Salad Dressing, just to name a few.  Our family is just in love with this new jar.  The spatula is an engineering triumph and it actually gets out every last bit of our expensive organic nut recipes with ease.  We are impressed with the removable lid centers and recipe booklet too.  All the pieces of this package are well thought out and well worth the price.  Bravo, Blendtec, you've put together something worthy of your amazing blender.  No cheaping-out on anything.  We are customers since 2006.

Must-have for hummus, nut butter, and more...

Wasn't sure how handy this would be, but I'm a big fan of hummus and spreads, so I thought I'd try it.  What I didn't realize was that its more petite size fits perfectly under counter when atop my blender, and it's just the right size for a morning smoothie for one.  I put in all my fresh greens and fruits with a little ice or water, and get 16 oz. of heaven without using the bigger Wildside or Standard jars.  LOVE IT!  Clean up is simple too.  Great product for the money ($119.95) and dramatically different than any other offering from Blendtec.
