Cavegirl Court's Coconut Flour Paleo Pancakes

When it comes to eating Paleo, I think breakfasts are the hardest.  I grew up eating sugary cereal, pancakes, waffles, muffins, cinnamon rolls, etc.  The carboholic in me cries when I eat too many eggs & bacon breakfasts.  These Pancakes are the answer!

Coconut Paleo Pancakes

Ingredients:

·   3 Eggs OR 3 Egg Whites & 1 Egg OR 4 Egg Whites

·   1 tsp Olive Oil

·   1 tsp Honey

·   1 tsp Vanilla

·   1/2 tsp Baking Soda

·   2 Tbsp Coconut Flour

·   Optional: Blueberries, Maple Syrup, Fruit Topping

·   Additional oil, grass-fed butter, coconut oil, or non-stick spray for cooking

Instructions:

1. Blend eggs in blender for 2-3 minutes until eggs are frothy.  If using egg whites, blend egg whites first until very foamy, then add yolks, and blend a little longer to incorporate.

2. Add olive oil, honey and vanilla (if you add them in that order the honey slides right out of the measuring spoon).  Blend for 1 minute.

3. Add baking soda and coconut flour and blend for additional minute.

4. Heat up skillet or pancake pan on medium heat (high will scorch pancakes too quickly and not allow pancakes to rise).  Add oil, butter, coconut flour or non-stick spray to pan.  When skillet is warm, pour batter into small circles on pan (3-4" in diameter seems to work best).  If you are using blueberries add them here.  Also, if you add a few blueberries to the blender with the dry ingredients you can make blue pancakes which are fun for kids (or adults that are young at heart).

5. Flip pancakes when bubbles appear.  This happens quickly and the pancakes get dark quickly, so pay attention!  Allow other side of pancake to cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.

6. Serve with maple syrup, berries, almond butter, etc.
