Steps

1. 1. Start with the sweet potato chickpea hash: In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil. Add diced sweet potato and sauté 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add diced red onion and minced garlic, cook 2 more minutes.
2. 2. Add chickpeas, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss together and cook for another 5-8 minutes, letting the sweet potatoes get golden and fork-tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. 3. For the vegan omelette: In a bowl, whisk chickpea flour, water, turmeric, black salt or regular salt, and herbs until smooth. Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet, pour in batter, spread evenly, and cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until firm and golden. Set aside.
4. 4. For pancakes: In a bowl, mix gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk egg, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, oil, and apple cider vinegar. Combine wet and dry mixtures until just combined.
5. 5. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium. Lightly oil the surface. Pour batter to form small pancakes. Cook until bubbles form and edges firm, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes. Repeat for all pancakes.
6. 6. For the maple almond/peanut butter drizzle: Stir almond or peanut butter and maple syrup in a small bowl. Add water 1 tbsp at a time until pourable.
7. 7. For shake: Blend banana, almond milk, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, and honey (if using) until smooth.
8. 8. To serve: Plate a portion of sweet potato chickpea hash, slice and add vegan omelette, stack pancakes, and top with nut butter maple drizzle. Serve banana shake on the side.
