Hooray for Fridays, huh? Sometimes Fridays mean I'm taking a break from cooking all week. The kids aren't exactly keen on eating leftovers (let's face it: many nights are a battle to get Cora to eat the fresh food, let alone day-old reheated food) so instead I turn to a meal that's still nutritious yet totally kid-friendly and easy. Yep, I'm talking pancakes.
Breakfast for dinner, the ultimate comfort meal. Yes, even adults can enjoy this indulgence, too. And it's made with one of my favorite ingredients -- almond flour. Let us rejoice in a healthy alternative to high-glycemic wheat flour. Plop some berries on top of these, maybe a drizzle of syrup or honey, or a pat of melted butter (if that's your thing). My kids will ask for peanut butter.
Almond Flour Pancakes
1 1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xantham or guar gum
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk (almond, coconut, rice, etc)
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla
1.Heat a griddle over medium-high heat.
2.In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, xantham/guar gum, and salt.
3.In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring to combine well until all of the flour is fully incorporated.
4.Ladle batter 1/4 cup at a time onto hot griddle and cook until the edges are set and the bottom is browned. Carefully flip over and continue to cook until golden brown. Serve.
