Blueberry Honey Vanilla Pancakes - Made with Coconut Flour

Do you ever find yourself in a breakfast rut? A few weeks ago I found myself in just that a seriouse breakfast rut. I was basically having oatmeal everyday. Don't get me wrong, I love me some oatmeal but I needed to do something to shake up my mornings and make them more exciting. So in efforts to pull myself from my boring breakfast routine I've committed myself to making new imaginative and exciting creations for the most important meal of the day. I've come up with and discovered some breakfast goodies that are easy to make, healthy and most importantly delicious. So I've decided to post and share recipes to my breakfast experiments every Monday for the next several Mondays. I hope you can find some of these recipes useful in spicing up your mornings too. Here's the first breakfast dish: It's grain free Blueberry Honey Vanilla Pancakes made with coconut flour.

Blueberry Honey Vanilla Pancakes

makes 12-14 pancakes 

Pancake Ingredients 

4 pasture eggs

1 cup milk (or milk substitute like almond or coconut milk)

2 full tablespoons of pure local honey or maple syrup

1 1/2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup coconut flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

pinch of salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 

1 rounded cup of blueberries (I like to use either fresh or the frozen wild organic blueberries)

coconut oil or butter for frying

Pancake Instructions

Whisk and combine the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, honey and vanilla.

To the liquid mixture add: coconut flour, salt and baking soda.

Stir well to combine

Gently fold in the blueberries

Let the batter sit for 3 to 4 minutes while you preheat your griddle.

Preheat griddle to about 300 degree or medium heat. 

Apply coconut oil to the griddle and allow to melt.

Pour 2/3 cup of batter onto griddle for each pancake. (The smaller size pancake makes for easier flipping)

When the pancakes start to have tiny bubbles all over the surface, it's then time to flip.

Once flipped allow the pancake to cook another minute or so until both sides are golden brown.

Serve with below pancake sauce recipe and fresh fruit if desired.

Enjoy!

- I like to make this special sauce for my pancakes. It makes me feel like I have a substantially moistly -topped pancake without all the excess sugar of a plate full of syrup.

Coconut Oil Maple Sauce

recipe quantity for 1 pancake

Pancake Sauce Ingredients

1 tablespoons coconut oil

1 tablespoons maple syrup

4 shakes of cinnamon

Pancake Topping Instructions

Melt the coconut oil and honey on the stove top or in the microwave. Add in the cinnamon. Stir to combine then pour over your pancakes. Enjoy!

Tip: I like to double the pancake recipe and freeze the extra pancakes. They are great heated in the toaster for a quick on the go meal.

I hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think!
