Coconut Bacon Pancakes

These Berry Breakfast Meal is Topped with Homemade Vegetarian Bacon

— September 15, 2015 — Lifestyle
These berry banana pancakes by food blog A Couple of Cooks are ideal for vegetarians missing the crunchy taste of bacon. While this is a fruit-themed breakfast, the pancakes are topped with a homemade coconut bacon that tastes and smells like the real thing but doesn't contain any meat.

Coconut bacon is ideal for vegetarians and vegans looking to substitute the great flavor of bacon with a meat-free alternative. The coconut bacon is made from large coconut flakes that are seasoned with soya sauce, liquid smoke and hot sauce to replicate the aroma of bacon. The coconut bacon is then topped on a series of wholewheat cinnamon pancakes made from almond milk, bananas and vanilla along with a sprinkle of berries such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.
Trend Themes
1. Meat-free Alternatives - There is a growing trend towards finding alternatives to meat products with similar taste and texture, providing opportunities for innovation in the development of new plant-based products.
2. Vegetarian Breakfasts - As more people reduce their meat intake, there is an increasing demand for creative and delicious vegetarian breakfast options, presenting opportunities for food businesses to create unique offerings in this category.
3. Plant-based Proteins - The plant-based protein trend is gaining momentum as more people look for healthier and sustainable food options, creating opportunities for companies to develop new sources of plant-based proteins and integrate them into innovative products.
Industry Implications
1. Food Manufacturing - Food manufacturers can develop and produce new plant-based alternatives to meat products for consumers who are seeking healthier and sustainable meal options.
2. Foodservice - Restaurants, cafes, and other foodservice providers can cater to the growing demand for vegetarian breakfast options and plant-based protein alternatives to meat products by offering innovative and tasty menu items.
3. Health and Wellness - The health and wellness industry can leverage the trend towards plant-based proteins by developing and marketing supplements and other products that can help consumers meet their daily protein needs using more sustainable and ethical sources.
