A growing movement of nutritionists, sustainability researchers, activists, and alternative foodies are calling edible insects the food group of the future. In America, one of the biggest hurdles remains how to get people to take a bite. These simple blender pancakes are an easy, delicious way to dip your toe into the radical world of entomophagy.
CrickCakes
Serves 1
Ingredients:
1 banana
1/4 cup raw rolled oats
2 eggs
2 tablespoons cricket protein powder
1/4 cup blueberries (optional)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Blend all ingredients except blueberries on high in blender until smooth (approximately 15 seconds).
Heat a lightly oiled (butter, coconut oil, or vegetable oil of choice) griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
Add blueberries if using. Flip, brown on both sides, and serve hot as is, or with maple syrup or plain yogurt and additional cinnamon.
1/2 cup cooked sweet potato or winter squash can be substituted for the banana. If you want to get really fancy, add in a few pumpkin or chia seeds with the blueberries for extra protein.
