Luteal Phase Boost: Sweet Potatoes Pancakes by Waya Theresia

The luteal phase can bring on PMS, hunger and cravings. This is completely normal. In fact, our body uses up 5-10% more calories during this premenstrual phase. Don’t fight it and listen when our body is telling us to eat. If you are craving a sweet or salty snack, dark chocolate, fruit, nuts and seeds are good substitutes. This pancake recipe is rich of complex carbohydrates which can help to gain energy and help curb hunger, vitamin B6 to help easing PMS symptoms, and magnesium which can help reducing fluid retention.

110 gr oat flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon powder

1 tbsp maple syrup

  3. Mix all of the dry ingredients and wet ingredients in one bowl. Whisk it until evenly mixed.

  4. On a preheated well-oiled skillet, pour 1/4 cup batter. Let the pancake puff up.

  5. Flip the pancake carefully and cook until both sides are golden in colour.

  6. Repeat it until all of the batter is cooked.

  8. For optional topping, you can add 2 tbsp of melted dark chocolate on your pancakes. Bon Appetit!
