Vegan, High Protein, Low Carb, Gluten-free
Almond Pancakes

Sure, that’s a lot of nutritional buzz words, but it’s true. They’re vegan, packed with protein, totally grain-free and so low carb and gluten-free. But they’re delicious… even without syrup. They are part of this week’s carb cycling plan and so I post this recipe here for you to enjoy as well.

2 & 1/2 cups almond flour

3/4 cup arrowroot powder

4 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

2 Tbsp granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

4 Tbsp coconut oil, melted

1 cup almond milk

Start pre-heating a frying pan on very low heat while making batter.

Whisk together all dry ingredients in large mixing bowl.

In small separate bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients.

Add wet to dry and mix thoroughly.

Raise heat a bit on frying pan and spray with oil.

Pour 1/3 cup of your pancake batter onto frying pan, and cook for 2-3 minutes. (Batter spreads on its own once it starts cooking.)

Flip pancake and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes.

Remove the pancake from the heat and place on wire rack to cool while you make the rest, recoating pan with oil and adjusting temperature as needed.
