Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 Cups Almond Meal
  • 1 1/2 Cups Coconut Desiccated
  • 1/2 Tsp Sea Salt Unrefined
  • 2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 6 Large Eggs Organic
  • 1/2 Cup Coconut Milk Or almond milk

Instructions

  • In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, coconut milk and rice or maple syrup together.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, being careful not to over-mix.
  • Melt 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large frypan and add heaped spoonfuls of pancake mixture into the heated pan. Scatter over a handful of blueberries on the uncooked side of each pancake.
  • After about 5 minutes, once the pancakes are golden on one side, very carefully turn them over and brown on the other side.

Notes

XTRA IDEAS:

  • Turn this recipe into Raspberry Cacao Hazelnut Pancakes, by replacing the blueberries with raspberries, the almond meal with hazelnut meal, and adding 1/4 cup of raw cacao powder.
  • Try making Banana Chai Panckes, by replacing the blueberries with 3 sliced bananas and adding 3 tbsp chai spice mix* to the dry ingredients.
  • Top the pancakes with almond, cashew or hazelnut butter.
  • Substitute the maple syrup with coconut syrup, rice syrup or raw honey.
  • Serve the pancakes accompanied with coconut or sheep's milk yoghurt.
*At The Health Emporium we sell the 'Herbs of Life 5 Spice Chai Mix' and the 'Herbies Fragrant Sweet Spices', either of which would make a delicious addition to Banana Chai Pancakes.
