Apple Pie Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup (divided)
  • 3/4 lemon (juiced, divided)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup arrowroot flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 apple (cored, diced)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp almond flour

Preparation:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, 1/3 of the maple syrup, 1/3 of the lemon juice and vanilla until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the coconut flour and arrowroot flour. Add to the wet mixture about 1/4 cup at a time, whisking thoroughly.
  3. Mix in baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Grease a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat. Once hot, pour pancakes in the skillet, about 3-inches wide.
  5. Once small holes begin to appear in the surface of the pancake, sprinkle a few apple chunks onto it and flip over. Cook each side approximately 3-4 minutes. Repeat until batter is finished.
  6. Heat coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining apple chunks, cinnamon, the remaining 2/3 of the lemon juice and the remaining 2/3 of the maple syrup. Stir until combined.
  7. Add almond flour and turn down to low-medium heat. Let simmer and stir occasionally for 3 to 5 minutes or until apple chunks are soft.
  8. Top apple pancakes with chunky apple cinnamon sauce and enjoy!
