Paleo Pancakes/Belgian Waffles

One of the things I missed most when I first went Paleo was pancakes! My husband and I would have pancakes, waffles, or french toast every weekend. He would cook and I think that's why I loved it so much!! We went several months on the paleo diet before I found this fantastic recipe! The original Silver Dollar Pancake recipe calls for less honey. I added an extra tablespoon and found that the pancakes are more moist and less dense :) 

What you need:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons agave nectar, real maple syrup, or honey (the nutrition facts below are figured with honey)
• 1 ½ cups almond flour
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• olive oil or coconut oil for cooking

What you do:   

1. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, water, vanilla, and honey.

2. Add almond flour, salt and baking soda and mix until thoroughly until combined 

3. Heat olive/coconut oil on skillet over medium low to medium heat or on a griddle at 250 degrees

4. Scoop 1 heaping tablespoon of batter at a time onto the skillet/griddle

5. I let pancakes cook for a couple of minutes on each side. Bubbles do not form with almond flour. I usually check one pancake and if it looks good, I flip the rest. If not, I wait another minute. :)

6. Remove from heat to a plate

7. Repeat process with remaining batter, add more oil to skillet as needed

 You can use the same batter in a waffle maker and make Belgian waffles:

Yields 16 pancakes or 4 Belgian waffles
