RECIPE FOR ALMOND FLOUR PANCAKES

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp sea salt

3 large pastured eggs, room temp

1/4 cup pure, organic coconut milk

1 tbsp unsalted butter (or coconut oil), melted

1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/4 tsp apple cider vinegar

1/2 banana

1 cup fresh organic berries

Directions:

1. Preheat griddle over medium heat
2. Place all the liquid ingredients and fruit into YOUR BLENDER, then place all of the dry ingredients on top. Cover and blend on low to start, then increase to high and blend at least 1 full minute.
3. The batter will be very thick, resembling corn bread batter, we used the organic coconut milk to measure tablespoons until we gained the consistency we liked.
4. Grease preheated griddle with butter (or coconut oil)
5. Ladle a spoonful of batter onto the griddle to form a "silver dollar" sized pancake, or larger if you prefer.
6. Cook for a few minutes, just until the edges start to dry out and the bottom begins to golden. THESE BURN EASILY, so be sure not to overcook.
7. Carefully flip and cook another few minutes until cooked through but not over-browned.
8. Serve hot off the griddle with butter, jelly, syrup or cut fruit.
9. ENJOY the connect time with your family!!
