Pancakes – fluffy, hot and full of grain – not something I eat these days. So I went searching and found this recipe. These pancakes are denser and packed with flavor. Delicious with butter and pure maple syrup, and/or fresh blueberries – these are even good plain, if you like that sort of thing (and I do). I’ve made a batch mixed with diced apples, too. (Use a firmer apple, like Granny Smith or Pink Lady or Jazz.)

Almond Flour Pancakes (recipe found on Primal Palate)

Almond Flour Pancake trilogy

1 3/4 cup Blanched Almond Flour
2 Pastured Eggs, whisked
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground Nutmeg
2/3 cup Water
1 Tbsp Salted Butter, for frying

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk two eggs.
  2. Pour almond flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a medium sized mixing bowl.
  3. Add vanilla extract, and eggs to the bowl.
  4. Mix with a wooden spoon to combine.
  5. Add water, and continue to stir.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon of grass fed butter or coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet. (I used a little of both – coconut oil first, then butter)
  7. Using 1/8 cup, scoop batter into the frying pan, leaving enough space in between pancakes to flip.
  8. Cook 2 minutes on the first side, flip, and cook for a remaining 1-2 minutes. (This is approximate – It helps to flip pancakes back and forth a bit to ensure they are cooked through.) Add additional cooking fat as needed.
  9. Top with your choice of grass fed butter or coconut oil, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, and serve.

This was my alternative to a pumpkin bread recipe I’ve made during the holiday for years. I searched for this one and made my younger sister VERY happy.  These are delicious but must be eaten within a few days MAX. Enjoy!

Once again: Cannot locate a photo of these.  I WILL take photos of baked goods and other stuff I make from now on, I promise.

Pumpkin Bread (modified* original recipe found on WellnessMama.com)
Breakfast, serves 4-6

Prep Time: 5 minutes

5 eggs
1 cup of pumpkin puree (pumpkin only – check the ingredients)
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened* (option was coconut oil)
½ cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground allspice
½ tsp ground cloves
¼ cup maple syrup, Grade B*

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Put ALL ingredients in a medium sized bowl
  3. Using a strong whisk or immersion blender (I used the whisk attachment on my hand mixer), mix until smooth, fluffy and well incorporated. If batter is too thick, add a little less than a tablespoon of water or coconut milk. Batter will be somewhat thick.
  4. Put in to a greased (buttered) 8 x 8 baking dish, or muffin tin (1/4 cup of batter per muffin) [NOTE: loaf pans do not work well]
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes (check center with toothpick for firmness, and lightly browned color. (Muffins – bake for 15-20 minutes)

 

Chocolate Chip Cookies – gluten-free

I Like Cookies. Heck, I like sweets of pretty much any kind (except for those with TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE). As I have aged, however, certain ingredients (grains, legumes, processed sugar, processed foods, excess fruit) once eaten without concern now cause issues that I won’t discuss in this post. We’ll just skip over to my finding a different way to eat things that satisfy the sweet tooth. I wanted a cookie recipe that didn’t affect blood sugar or the G.I. tract, and also didn’t taste like cardboard or health.  That’s why I posted this recipe.  Also, I was testing a PAGE theory and I learned something new.  One blog page per title.  Many static pages per blog.  Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Cookies (modified original recipe* found on Primalpalate.com)
Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies

Snack, makes 45 cookies (or more)
Prep Time: 10 minutes

3 cups Blanched Almond Meal
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup Maple Syrup, Grade B
½ cup unsalted butter, softened*
2 ½ cups Dark Chocolate chips (60% cocoa or better)

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl: combine dry ingredients.
  3. In a small mixing bowl: beat eggs, maple syrup and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until combined.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and beat with a hand mixer until combined.
  5. Mix in softened butter, blending until well combined.
  6. Stir in chocolate chips with a spoon or rubber spatula.
  7. On a parchment-lined baking sheet: drop balls of cookie dough (a little smaller than a ping pong ball)
  8. Bake for 15 minutes.
  9. Eat these – YUM!

Should be eaten within a week to 10 days. (If you can make them last that long!)
