Ingredients Simplified
Read the back of a 'ready made' pancake mix and you'd be surprised what they put in there to keep it shelf stable. A 'classic' pancake would also likely spike most people's glucose levels.
Why is this an issue? Because a glucose spike triggers insulin release. Insulin is our fat storage hormone. So, if you aren't moving much or want to maintain steady glucose levels for your energy and mood, give this a go!
At the core of this recipe are just two essential ingredients:
1 cup of almond meal: A gluten-free and low-carb alternative to traditional flour, almond meal adds a nutty flavour and is rich in vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.
2 eggs: Eggs bind the almond meal together and add a good protein boost, making these pancakes both filling and nutritious.
To elevate the flavour, consider adding a pinch of salt, a teaspoon of cinnamon for a warm spice, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a hint of sweetness—no sugar needed.
Cooking Made Easy
Cook these pancakes as you would traditional ones:
Mix Ingredients: Combine the almond meal, eggs, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a bowl until you achieve a smooth batter.
Prepare the Pan: Heat a bit of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Butter is preferred for its ability to brown nicely, adding flavour and crisp edges to your pancakes.
Cook: Pour small rounds of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden
Serving Suggestions
The beauty of these pancakes lies in their versatility.
Top them with anything that fits your diet:
Crispy bacon and a tablespoon of maple syrup for a savoury-sweet combination.
High-protein Greek yoghurt and a blueberry coulis made by heating frozen blueberries with a teaspoon of honey in the microwave—delicious and simple!
Stack them up and cup them up like a cake for an extra indulgent feeling...the kids will LOVE IT!!
