Grain Free Maple Blueberry Pecan Pancakes
by Amy Love, Real Food Whole Health
Ingredients:
2 large pastured eggs
¼ cup pure maple syrup (Grade B preferred)
1 TBL pure vanilla extract
¼ cup raw milk or coconut milk
1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
½ tsp unrefined sea salt
½ tsp baking soda (optional)
½ cup organic blueberries (fresh or frozen)
¼ cup chopped pecans (soaked/dried are best)
Coconut oil
Butter (from grassfed cows)
Pure maple syrup
Directions:
Combine eggs, syrup, vanilla and milk of choice. Mix. In another bowl mix almond meal, salt and baking soda. Add to wet ingredients. Fold in blueberries and nuts (or you can wait and sprinkle on top of pancakes while in the pan).
Heat large pan over medium heat. Melt coconut oil and butter and swirl to melt. Add small scoop of batter (1/4 cup measure works well) and cook until bubbles break through and edges look set. (If you did not fold in blueberries and pecans, sprinkle desired amount over the pancake before flipping)
Flip carefully and cook other side until lightly browned. Top with butter and serve with pure maple syrup or whipped cream if desired.
Enjoy!
Notes:
On GAPS? Omit baking soda, use honey in place of maple syrup and opt for coconut milk instead of dairy milk.
TIP: Make a double batch and save the leftovers in the fridge or freezer (after refrigerating overnight). Reheat in an oven at 350 F for about 10 minutes.
This looks really good. I love fresh blueberries, and I think this recipe would work really nicely for us (even though I’ll have to leave the baking soda out since I’m on GAPS right now). Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks, Kendahl! Should be no problem to leave out the baking soda- enjoy! 🙂

Wow, these look amazing and I might just have to try them out for my lunch! I like to only partially cook the leftovers, and then they can be popped into the toaster to warm them up on a busy morning without getting too brown. 🙂

Hey Kelly! Thanks 🙂 Yes, they are probably my favorite pancake…delicious!! Great tip about partially cooking the ones to be leftover- I saved the couple that didn’t cook all the way through, but never thought about doing that on purpose, LOL! Thanks 🙂

I made these this morning and they were delicious! I didn’t have pecans on hand so I can’t wait to try them again with pecans. They even passed the kid test- my 5 year old twins loved them!
Hi Renee! Glad you liked them- and that they passed the kid-test 🙂 Definitely great with the pecans, too! Thanks for the comment!!

these look so tasty, and I like the added pecans! I’ve included it in my Weekly Meal Plan for 2 (gluten, grain and sugar free):

Just made these for breakfast. FANTASTIC!!!! I used a combo of flax meal and almond flour. They were really great – even my picky 15 month old was crazy about them. 🙂
