One of the hardest things for me with eating Paleo is finding good breakfast alternatives. We're so conditioned to eat high carb/low protein things like bagels, toast, cereal etc. These pancakes take about 5 minutes to make and keep you full from the protein in almond flour.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Almond flour
1/2 cup Arrowroot
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Agave
1 cup water
1 teaspoon baking powder*
Method:
Add arrowroot, almond meal and baking powder to a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl combine egg, vanilla, and agave and pour into mixing bowl with dry ingredients. Adding the water is a little tricky and you need to do this slowly so that you can judge the amount you need based off of the viscosity (how "thin" or "thick") the batter is. I start by adding half of the water and combine all ingredients and continue to add water until it has the consistency of regular pancake batter.
I've found that the best pan to cook these on is a cast iron skillet, on medium high heat. Grease the pan lightly with coconut oil and ladle batter onto pan. Cook until the edges start to set, about 2 minutes, and flip. I like mine with apples, cinnamon and drizzled with agave.
*Baking powder is optional, as it is not Paleo, but makes batter "fluffy" and is such a small amount.
