It’s here, it’s here! I have been waiting over a month to announce an awesome recipe contest that I was asked to be a part of for the brand Smart Balance. The winner of the contests gets [dun, dun, dunnnn] a year long ,$5,000 contract with the brand for recipe creation. Um, yes please! This would be an amazing opportunity for me to build my portfolio and I genuinely like doing recipe creation.
We were asked to use at least 1 Smart Balance Product, and I decided to go with Smart Balance Original Buttery Spread. I’ve actually only had SB Peanut Butter, so I was excited to try some of the other products.
The idea of Red Velvet Pancakes came through a brainstorming session. I wanted to mix breakfast and dessert in one meal…and this is what I came up with. The good part- it’s a lot healthier than dessert!
The chocolate sauce?
It’s actually 100% healthy. The base is made from 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon cocoa powder. If you’re feeling wild (like I was), you can even add some melted peanut butter (1 – 2 teaspoons).
So- I ask you. Please VOTE FOR ME! The contest runs until August 7th on the Smart Balance Facebook Page. There are 20 other food bloggers involved and I’m up against some pretty amazing competition.
Thank you x 1,000. Your support means the world to me (and that’s the truth!).
