Grain Free Power Pancakes

Hey hey- Alison here with another "guilt free" recipe the whole family will enjoy.

These are a beloved STAPLE in my household.

I double or triple the recipe, make a big batch on Sunday, then just heat them up in the toaster for a quick healthy breakfast all week.

They're super fast and easy to make, too.

This version yields about 5 pancakes.

And really, you could totally eat all 5 in one sitting- it's the equivalent of one banana and two eggs.

That's a totally reasonably sized breakfast for one person.

Ingredients

1 banana

2 eggs

1/4 c flax meal

1/4 c nut butter (whatever you have- almond, cashew, walnut, sunflower- even tahini!)

1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted (or liquid)

1 tsp baking powder

1 scoop TLS vanilla nutrition shake (if you have it- the recipe works just fine without this)

1 tsp vanilla extract (or your favorite- almond and lemon are both yummy in this recipe!)

pinch salt

coconut oil for frying

For the topping

1 c berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, strawberries- whatever!)

1 c fruit juice like grape, pomegranate, berry, cherry, cranberry nectar, etc

* read your labels! no added sugar in your juice! *

Directions

topping

• place berries and juice in a saucepan

• bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer

• when the juice has reduced by about half, use a potato masher to squash the berries

• let continue to simmer on low while you make the pancakes

pancakes

• heat a skillet on medium with some coconut oil

• place everything in either a blender and blend until smooth

or

a medium bowl and blend with an immersion blender

(I prefer this method because you lose less batter to the blender)

• when your skillet is up to temp, use a 1/4 c measure to pour batter into the skillet

• cook for 2 minutes and flip

• cook the other side for 1 minute

top with a little coconut oil and spoon on some of the berry mixture

ENJOY!
