chocolate pancakes
Prep Time:  15 minutes
Cooking Time:  20 minutes
Yield:  8 pancakes

Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 3 tbsp coconut flour
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tsp paleo-friendly baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • coconut oil for pan
  • Fresh fruit (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl combine the almond meal, coconut flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, baking powder and sea salt.
  2. In a separate bowl combine the almond milk, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry until well-combined. Let sit for 5 minutes so the coconut flour can absorb the liquid.
  4. Heat a large pan or pancake griddle to medium heat and melt the coconut oil (about 1 tsp).
  5. Add 1/3 cup of batter per pancake and let cook for 3 minutes or until all bubbles have popped and rim looks cooked.
  6. Flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
  7. Repeat process until all pancake batter has been used.*
  8. Serve with fresh fruit.

*The batter should be thick, however, if the pancake batter becomes too thick (different coconut flours are more absorbent), just add more almond milk, by the tablespoon.

Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon oil of choice - olive, avocado, coconut, etc.
  • Sea Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
