Food by Mickey
During the covid-19 pandemic, I started to care a lot more about food. I had always liked baking and cooking, but with so much extra time because of all the classes that got cancelled, I decided to take it to a new level. I made an Instagram page called @fitfood.by.mick where I shared all of the recipes I made. Besides that, I made a small book with healthy and easy recipes for breakfast, lunch & dinner! (in Dutch) On this page I’ll share some of my favorites!
Granola bar with dates
How to make:
- 50 grams oat flakes
- 150 grams dates (pitted)
- 20 grams pumpkin seeds
- Large tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon grated coconut
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed
- 25 grams almonds
Mix all ingredients in a food processor. Cover a square container with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly and refrigerate for a few hours. Perfect snack for a heavy workout!
Pancakes
How to make: (1 person)
- 0.6 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 50 grams oat flakes
- 50 ml almond milk
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Half a banana
- (Half a scoop of protein powder)
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Heat a pan with coconut oil and pour a small amount of batter into the pan. This way, you’ll get nice small round pancakes.
For toppings, you can use various types of fruit. It’s also delicious to add (plant-based) yogurt, coconut flakes, or agave syrup.
Overnight oats
How to make:
- 200 ml almond milk
- Large tablespoon chia seeds
- 45 grams oat flakes
Mix chia seeds with almond milk and oat flakes. Pour the mixture into a jar and refrigerate overnight. For breakfast, enjoy the deliciousness of overnight oats with plant-based yogurt and fruit, or simply eat it plain. This is a perfect breakfast when you have little time to prepare something in the morning!
Tip: Add cinnamon and a few slices of banana to enhance your overnight oats.
Banana bread
How to make:
- 150 grams almond flour
- 2 tbsp agave syrup
- Handful of unsalted nuts
- 3 bananas
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Mix all ingredients until you have a smooth batter. Cover a cake tin with parchment paper and pour the mixture into the tin. After about 50 minutes, the banana bread can be taken out of the oven, but first, check with a skewer to ensure the inside is well-cooked!
A slice of banana bread is perfect as a snack but also delicious for breakfast with a bit of peanut butter!
