Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Organic Cassava Flour
  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 8 tbsp Organic Hemp Protein Powder unsweetened
  • 4 each Free Range Eggs or flax eggs
  • 10 oz Almond Coconut Milk or preferred non-dairy milk
  • 1.5 cups Organic Frozen Blueberries
  • 1.5 oz Coconut Oil extra virgin, bulk
  • 2.5 tsp Baking Powder (aluminum free)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp Raw Local Honey (or 1.5 tsp Monkfruit extract)
For Cooking
  • 1.5 tbsp Coconut Oil (for greasing griddle/skillet)

Equipment

  • large and medium bowls, skillet or pancake griddle, fork, spoon, large spatula, stove

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients.
  2. If you're making flax eggs - this is a good time to make them as they'll need to set for 3-5 minutes. Combine 1 tablespoon ground flax meal with 3 tablespoons of water per one egg. This recipe calls for 4 eggs: 4 tbsp flax meal + 12 tbsp water. Mix well & set aside to congeal.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and add the milk, vanilla extract and honey until blended. Lastly, add the 3 tbsp of melted coconut oil and whisk together quickly/thoroughly (the coconut oil will begin to harden).
  4. To the wet ingredients, gradually stir in the dry ingredients until you have a fairly consistent mixture. Don't over stir the batter or the pancakes will come out flat. There will likely be a few chunks in your batter. Don't worry about these.
  5. Stir in the blueberries.
  6. Grease the skillet or griddle with remaining 2.5 tbsp coconut oil, cook on medium-high heat.
    Using a large spoon, drizzle the pancake batter on your cooking surface. Don't over crowd your skillet or you won't be able to flip them well.
  7. If your pan begins to smoke, turn down the temperature -- you don't want your cooking oil to smoke. Coconut oil will last till about 350°F - its "smoke point".
    300°F is plenty hot for cooking pancakes. You don't want to hit 350°F for many reasons.
  8. This recipe makes 12-16 medium sized pancakes. Enjoy!

Programming Notes:
  • To make nut-free pancakes, replace the almond flour with Cassava flour. This decreases total protein content. If that bothers you, consider adding a few extra tablespoons of protein powder. You may need to also add a tablespoon of flaxmeal and additional water to achieve desired batter consistency.
