Grain Free Pancakes

It’s a cloudy day here in Austin, which always makes me want to curl up in bed and eat pancakes. Does anyone else feel this way? If anything, pancakes are always a little treat for me every Sunday. I resist the urge for chocolate chip pancakes and settle for some of the blueberry variety. Raspberry pancakes aren’t too shabby either.

I also wanted to post a recipe utilizing the homemade almond flour. Enjoy with a side of bacon and a generous amount of REAL maple syrup (don’t use that fake, corn syrup stuff) and grass-fed butter. Or coconut oil – that would be tasty.

*The recipe I’m posting will make 6 pancakes. Depending on how hungry you are, that can be split between you and someone else. Or just enjoy all 6 on your own. That’s what I did, no shame. But, you can easily double this recipe.

Ingredients
– 3/4 c almond flour
– 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
– 1 tsp of coconut flour
– pinch of salt
– 1/4 tsp baking soda
– 2 eggs
– 1/2 c almond milk or your favorite non-dairy milk
– 1 tbsp Grade B maple syrup or honey
– 1/4 tsp vanilla
– 1 tbsp melted butter, ghee, or coconut oil + more for greasing the pan
* For a more savory pancake, omit the maple syrup
* If you’re into cinnamon, that would be a great addition to this recipe
* If using fruit or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter once it’s all mixed

Method
– In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients (almond flour, arrowroot powder, coconut flour, salt, and baking soda)
– In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, melted butter/ghee/coconut oil)
– Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated.

– If you feel like the batter is too thick, add just a splash more of almond milk. Too thin? Add just a little more almond flour.
– Using a 1/4 measuring cup, dip that into the batter and pour onto a heated, greased pan. Use the back of the measuring cup to spread out the batter.
– Flip pancakes once the batter bubbles.

– Keep cooked pancakes in a warmed oven until all are ready (I usually heat mine to 200 degrees). Serve with butter/coconut oil/ ghee, maple syrup, and bacon.

Enjoy! These pancakes are super delicious and I like sweetening with maple syrup to add a bit of a maple flavor already, so you require less maple syrup.

Let me know how it goes!
