Vegan breakfast pancakes

Hello everyone, Daisycorn here!

As you may know if you've read our older posts, I once tried to be vegan... And failed! Well recently I've switched back to being a vegan- and this time I really think I'm going to be a long term vegan or potentially vegetarian. I believe that we don't need any animal to suffer just because we're in the mood for a tasty snack or meal. 

These pancakes are fully vegan; meat/fish, dairy, egg and honey free! Personally, i like to serve 3 of these pancakes with a tablespoon of soy yogurt and a handful of fruit- strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries taste really good with this recipe!

Makes 9-10 pancakes.

Prep time: 5mins
Cooking time: 1min per pancake

Ingredients
6 level tablespoons flour
1 heaped tablespoon apple sauce 
1 teaspoon peanut butter 
1/2 cup almond milk 

Method:
1| Add all of the ingredients to a medium-large sized mixing bowl.
2| Mix until the consistency of the batter is similar to a basic cake mix.
3| Oil a frying pan (I used sunflower oil) and get a plate and spatula ready.
4| Use a tablespoon to add the batter to your pan.
5| When the pancake bubbles, flip it and cook for the same length of time on the other side.
6| Put the completed pancakes on a plate and continue until all of the batter has been used.
7| Eat or leave to cool, before covering in cling film and placing in the fridge.

I hope you enjoy making these delicious, cruelty free pancakes for your self- if you do, be sure to send us a picture via Instagram @unicornasauruss

wedding guest outfits under £50

Hello beautiful people!
Daisycorn here. A while back, I wrote a blog post on prom outfits for under £100- I enjoyed making it so much that I have decided to do the same for wedding guest looks. I've tightened the budget even more and this time around, you will only have to splurge a maximum of £50 to recreate these outfits for yourself.
