            Tigernut Flour Pancakes

              Tigernut Flour Pancakes

              GF, Refined Sugar free

              Happily serves 4-6

              ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS 

              • 4 organic cage free eggs
              • ½ cup tigernut flour
              • ¼ cup coconut flour
              • ½ cup dairy free milk (coconut milk)
              • ½ tsp cinnamon
              • ½ tsp raw apple cider vinegar
              • ¼ tsp baking soda
              • Properly measuring the flours is key to the recipe. Stir the tigernut flour with a fork to “loosen” it, then dip in the measuring cup and level the top with a knife. Measure the coconut flour the same way. Combine the flours and eggs to create a smooth batter. Mixing these ingredients first allows you to smooth out the clumps of tigernut flour. Add remaining ingredients, stir until combined.  Cook pancakes as usual

              You can store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days. The leftover pancakes actually make a delicious “bread” for grain free sandwiches!

                Vegan, Gluten free, Refined Sugar Free
                Happily Serves 10

                ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS 

                3/4 Cup Tricolor uncooked quinoa

                3/4 cup Pecans

                2 TBSP Coconut sugar

                1/2 tsp Pumpkin pie or allspice

                2 TBSP Coconut oil

                1/4 cup Blackstrap Molasses

                1/4 cinnamon

                Pinch of Himalayan sea salt

                Stevia, if you desire it sweeter

                 

                Preheat oven to 325.

                Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Cover all edges)

                Combine quinoa, pecans, coconut sugar, salt, and cinnamon/spices in a bowl and set aside.

                Over low to medium heat, add the coconut oil and black strap molasses (and optional Stevia). Stir until there is no visible separation.  Pour over the dry ingredients, combine and coat evenly,  spread on a parchment lined baking sheet with a metal spoon.

                Try to get it as even as possible or the edges will burn in the center won’t crisp up.

                Bake for 15 minutes and turn the pan around to ensure even baking and Browning. Back 5 to 10 minutes more and watch carefully so it does not burn. The edges will get crisp and caramelized, and the color will be uniformly deep golden brown in color.

                Let it cool completely before breaking it into serving pieces.   You can store leftovers in a sealed container at room temperature for a week, or in the freezer for up to one month.
