COCONUT NECTAR PANCAKES

There are many delicious scents, tastes and sounds that remind me of my childhood, but one of my favorites is that of homemade pancakes luring me out of bed… well to be fair, the bacon along side my momma’s pancakes could’ve had a little something to do with the way I floated to the breakfast table.

Like many families, we were all very busy little bees… but the one thing we always did together was gather and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together…

Now that I am a mommy, I do my best to carry on the traditions that brought me comfort… eating together and yummy pancakes!

COCONUT NECTAR PANCAKES

Ingredients

1/4 Cup of Coconut flour
1 Cup of gluten free all purpose flour

1 Tablespoon ground flax seed
1 Tablespoon of Coconut Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking powder
2 Egg replacement
¼ teaspoon Sea salt
2 Tablespoons Coconut Agave Nectar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 1/2 Cups Coconut Milk (maybe 2)
1 Tablespoon of melted Coconut Oil
1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)

Instructions:

In a medium size mixing bowl, sift together flour, flax meal, baking powder, sugar, sea salt, xanthan gum.

In a separate bowl, combine Coconut Oil, Coconut Nectar, Vanilla, Egg relacer and Coconut milk.

Slowly mix in half of the liquid into dry bowl, stirring continuously, add the rest… ¼ cup at a time to avoid a runny batter (not all gluten free mixes are the same, adjust as needed).

Mix until you get the lumps out of the batter. You don’t want it to be too thick or too runny.

Usually about 1 cup + 2Tbsp (as needed)

On a greased (Coconut oil), heated griddle over medium heat, begin to cook pancakes approx a ¼ cup of the batter for each one. (Medium)

*Cook 3 minutes until they start to bubble around the edges, then flip. Cook for another 3 minutes.

Remove from pan and serve with Coconut Nectar on top, garnish with Blueberries and Raspberries!

They are sooo Yummy Yummy Baby!

See you soon! Dr. Dee 🙂

*Side note: some people add 1/8 teaspoon of xanthan gum to help them bind and better emulsify… I do without it, but use what works for you!
