Almond And Berry Pancakes

I posted this up on my Facebook page the other day and got a lot of interest so here’s the recipe if you would like to try and make them yourself.

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 120 ml almond milk
• 1/2 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 100g almond meal
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of coconut flour
• pinch of sea salt
• pinch of ground cinnamon
• ghee or coconut oil for cooking
• 160g free or frozen berries
• lemon juice to serve

Method

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs for about 2 minutes or until frothy.  Mix in the milk, vanilla and honey.

Combine the almond meal, baking powder, coconut flour, salt and cinnamon in a bowl.

Add egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Grease a large frying pan with a little ghee or coconut oil and place over low/medium heat.  Ladle a few tablespoons of batter into the pan for each pancake and spread out slightly with the back of the spoon.  the pancakes should be 5-6cm in diameter and fairly thick.  Cook for a few minutes on each side, until the tops dry and slightly and the bottoms start to brown.  Flip and cook for additional 2-3 minutes.

Serve hot topped with fresh berries, coconut oil, honey, a squeeze of lemon juice and fresh fruit.

TIPS

• Ghee is clarified butter and it can be found at Indian food stores and some supermarkets
• Keep the pancakes small in size, and don’t get distracted while cooking them as they can burn easily.
