Paleo Pancakes

Happy National (paleo) Pancake Day!  I have yet another snow day so I got to lazily drink my coffee, plan my day here at the house, and make bacon and paleo pancakes.  A lot of times I make my  pancakes with pumpkin (just put "pancakes" into the search box on this blog to see them) and Cassie makes great pancakes with banana, but today I wanted something really "egg-y."

So,  these pancakes were just the ticket! They were delicious with bacon on the side, and just a hint of real maple syrup drizzled across the top. I'm even going to make them again tonight, alongside a big pot of my Paleo Deer Chili recipe, but with grass fed beef this time. YUM!

I whisked the following items up with a fork:

3 eggs
1/8 cup coconut flour
a pinch of sea salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon

I put a little pasture butter in a small skillet (over medium low heat) and poured out about 1/3 of the batter. After 2 minutes (when it looked like I would be able to flip it and there were s few of those little bubbles in the batter) I flipped the pancake and cooked for 2 more minutes or so.
I added a little butter to the pan each time I made a pancake.
Yum!
Tonight I'm going to make them in one big skillet!  I'm going to leave out the cinnamon since I want them savory to go with the chili.

Coconut Flour Pumpkin Pancakes

You know I like to keep it simple.  If it's simple, you are more apt to find time to make better foods at home, right?  This morning I wanted to make paleo pancakes with plenty of protein, little honey, and coconut flour, but still taste good. Here it is:

In a big bowl, I stirred up these ingredients:  (with a wooden spoon)

5 eggs
1 cup organic pumpkin
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/3 cup vanilla protein ( or whatever flavor you think will taste great with pumpkin..)
1/4 cup organic coconut milk from a can
1 tsp vanilla
1 TBSP real maple syrup
1 TBSP cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 TBSP melted coconut oil
1/4 tsp sea salt

I heated up a skillet and added coconut oil. I put 4 pancakes in at a time, in 1/4 cup scoops. I didn't turn them over until I saw the bubbles through the batter, over medium heat. I flipped them carefully. Each time I took the pancakes out, I added more coconut oil before adding more pancake batter.

We always eat them with almond butter, pasture butter, and a little maple syrup.

Feeding Ger Sasser recipes and lots of Deep Performance training is looking good on my babies.
