Ingredients:

1 cup almonds
100g
1/2 cup applesauce
120g
2 eggs
110g
2 tbsp coconut oil
27g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
2 tsp cinnamon
5g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g
3 tsp coconut milk
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Almond Flour:
1. Place the almonds in a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse until they become a fine almond meal. Be careful not to over-process, as it can turn into almond butter.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
1. In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, eggs, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and coconut milk until thoroughly combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth, thick batter. If the batter seems too thick, you can add a little more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
5. Heat the Pan:
1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil to the pan and allow it to melt and coat the surface.
6. Cook the Pancakes:
1. Pour small amounts of batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the hot skillet, forming individual pancakes.
2. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve:
1. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of coconut cream.

Tips:

- Ensure the almonds are finely ground into almond flour for a smoother batter. You can use store-bought almond flour or grind your own using a food processor.

- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking the pancakes.

- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle and preheat it over medium heat for even cooking.

- Grease the skillet lightly with additional coconut oil to prevent the pancakes from sticking.

- To test if the pancakes are ready to flip, wait until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.

- Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 93°C) until all batches are cooked and ready to serve.

- Serve with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of coconut yogurt.

These grain-free apple almond pancakes with cinnamon and coconut milk are not only easy to make but also packed with flavor and nutrients.
