Ingredients:
Instructions:
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.
1. In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, eggs, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and coconut milk until thoroughly combined.
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.
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.
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.
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.
