Brown Rice Orange Pancakes

Extra rice from the thai take-out…? Always.

End up eating the rice from thai take-out? Never…..

Am I the only one who always keep leftover rice in my fridge?? I doubt it….

And what about that one orange left in the bowl that looks kinda sad…. That last orange you never ate. You dont wanna through out, even though its now a little shrunken in, cuz, hey you paid for it!!…

So while you are making coffee anyway…..

Why not make some pancakes:-)

Brown Rice And Orange Pancakes

for 2-3 people

• 4 organic eggs
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp orange zest
• 1 cup (75 g) cooked, cold brown rice
• 1 tsp agave
• 1 cup (120 g) whole wheat flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp agave
• 1 Tbs Earth Balance margarine, melted

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, orange juice, orange zest, melted Earth Balance, vanilla, agave and brown rice.

In another bowl combine the whole wheat flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Add all the dry ingredients to the wet, and whisk till everything is combined.

Heat a nonstick pan to medium heat, and brush lightly with canola oil. Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel.

Spoon batter onto the pan using a 1/4 cupful at a time. Bake for about 1 min on each side.

The pancakes are ready to flip when they start getting bubbles…

And then just about a minute on the other side…

Keep the pancakes warm in the oven ( at about 250 degrease), while you bake off the rest.

Serve with good maple syrup.
