These are a very nice treat for a Saturday morning without feeling like you have gone overboard. Do not expect these pancakes to taste like wheat flour based ones you grew up with. It will have a slight eggy smell. I personally don’t detect it because I eat a lot of eggs. The coconut flour, vanilla and coconut oil masks out most of the egg smell.
All you need is a small amount of maple syrup or honey if using. If you are really LC and not using any sweeteners, try a dusting of cinnamon to give it that little kick.
Enough for 2 adults.
Ingredients:
4 eggs, room temperature.
1/2 cup milk (cow’s, almond or coconut both work)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey or a pinch of stevia
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
coconut oil or butter for frying

Happy October…
Yikes!!…Lesson learned. Never plan to do a blog series, especially when undergoing some training over the summer. I don’t know how other mommy bloggers do it, but I clearly do not have the blogging/tweeting gene. If you have been wondering where part 3 of my drink series was, here is the long delayed one.

I have been in China for a little over 6 years now and the incredible pace of change here is one of the many reasons I plan to stay on. Naturally, I have notice the dietary changes too. Primarily that people now prefer eating out more often and fast food is no longer a luxury item. For the first time last year, I saw a lao-taitai [old Chinese grandmother] walk into the local Starbucks with her twenty something granddaughter, she had somehow convinced the old woman to let the young lady buy her a coffee to try.

I am quite sure that deep within a child’s biology, they are finely tuned into seeking out what would sustain them in nature. Except that these days, they can readily access things that mimic high calorie nutrient dense foods, such as deep fried instead of what would be mush better option like nuts.

I may be a nutritionist, but I love occasional treats as much as anyone else (possibly more than some). People are often surprised to hear that even things like cookies, pizzas and the occasional cake can be included in a healthy diet. It is all part of the big picture in nutrition. If you are scrupulous with your diet six days a week, a single cheat day is of little consequence in my opinion.
looks and taste great!
