Paleo Pal Pancakes

2 ripe bananas
1/3 cup coconut flour
6 eggs
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1) In a medium-sized mixing bowl smash the bananas until smooth. *Kid Job: Mash those bananas!

2) Add the remaining ingredients and whisk together until well blended. *Kid Job: Help to pour in the coconut milk, sprinkle in the cinnamon, measure the vanilla, crack the eggs (with an adult helper), and whisk!

3) Grease a large skillet or griddle with coconut oil and heat over medium heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mix per pancake onto the hot griddle or skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Makes 11 pancakes.

Zucchini Pancakes

1 medium stalk zucchini, ends removed and coarsely grated
2 eggs
2-3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon red onion, chopped
freshly ground black pepper
2-3 fresh basil leaves, minced
1 teaspoon coconut flour
salt, to taste

Grate zucchini into a bowl. Add eggs and mix thoroughly.

Start heating oil in a large skillet.

Add onion, black pepper and basil to the zucchini. If the batter looks too liquidly, add a bit of coconut flour just to thicken slightly.

When the oil is hot but not smoking, put a forkful of batter into the pan, immediately mashing it down with a fork to spread the batter and form thin pancakes that can crisp easily. Repeat till pan is full. It's OK if the pancakes run together.

When the pancakes are golden brown or deeper brown on the underside, flip them over and cook on the second side. If they have stuck together, cut them in the skillet and flip them individually. When golden brown on the second side, remove pancakes. Drain on paper towels.

Arrowroot Pancakes

I tried converting Susan Carmack's pancake recipe to an egg-free recipe using arrowroot. I used way too much arrowroot! But it did coagulate the pancakes!

Based on what I learned from my botched experiment, here is the formula I
think should work great:

1/2 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup pecan meal or walnut meal
1 T arrowroot flour (I used a few tablespoons! Too much!)
a drop of honey, especially if you won't be using maple syrup.

The pancakes are snow white without the pecans or walnuts, and didn't look very appetizing. But they are delicious!

German Pancakes

1/4 cup oil of choice (oil replaced 1 cube butter)
1 dozen eggs whipped (I used organic from my neighbor)
1 cup sunflower meal (almond meal works great also) or any kind of nut meal or nut flour)
1 cup ground coconut meat (optional, if omitting you may want to double the nut flour, you can find unsweetened coconut at a health food store, it has not powdered sugar)
dash of salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Pour oil in an 11x13 baking dish. Spread around and heat in 325* oven for 5 minutes.

In large mixing bowl, beat together all ingredients. Remove pan from oven, pour mixture into pan. Replace in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until sides start to pull away and center is starting to crack. Remove from oven, slice into squares and serve. My kids like maple syrup, honey, nut butters or puréed fruits on top. Serve with favorite topping, or none at all. Peach chutney is very good on top!! You can also replace the cinnamon with oregano, rosemary, thyme, any other spice or herb and make a dinner meal out of it. Pesto, tomato, any kind of sauce is yummy on top.

Shredded-Sweet-Potato Pancakes (4 suggestions)

1. I make shredded-sweet-potato pancakes either for brunch or for a drifting-toward-dessert course. They generally include some kind of chiles (either powdered or fresh) and onions, and I like to serve them with a lime-honey yogurt. There's no recipe; I just shred the sweet potatoes, mix with chopped onions (or shallots) and either chopped chiles or powdered chiles (I've used guero chiles, serrano chiles, powdered California chiles, and cayenne. All are good, but different.) Form into pancakes and cook in a skillet over medium heat until crisp outside and tender inside.

2. Cut some ham and onions into shreds and toss with some of the shredded sweet potatoes and either curry powder or garam masala. Cook in oil, preferably over medium-low heat in a cast-iron pan, until browned on the bottom. Flip and continue cooking until browned on the other side.

3. Toss with chopped shallots and powdered California chiles. Form into pancakes and cook over medium-high heat until browned on both sides. Squeeze lime juice over.

4. Mix shredded sweet potatoes with chopped raw shrimp, egg whites, ground coriander, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper. Form into disks and fry until crisp.

Paleo Pancakes

1 egg
1/4 cup of ground almonds
1/4 cup of coconut milk

Cook as regular pancakes in coconut butter or other fat or if you are raw/paleo, drink it or eat as a pudding.

Sometimes I cook this as I would an oven pancake: Preheat oven. Heat the pan (a cast iron frying pan works the best) in a 425F oven until hot, add some olive oil, coconut butter, or coconut oil to the pan (1 tablespoon) and then add the egg mixture. Cook for 10 minutes. No turning. It won't puff up like the ones made with rice flour instead of almonds, but it tastes good. There are many recipes for Puffed or Oven pancake on a Search, but almonds make it paleo and in my opinion more tasty! It resembles Yorkshire Pudding, but with almonds it doesn't puff up very well. The pancake simply slides out of the pan because of all the grease, so it shouldn't break apart.

Blueberry and Walnut Pancakes

Per person:

1/2 cup walnut meal (finely ground walnuts, should look like a course flour)
a little sea salt
1/2 ??? teaspoon baking powder from the health food store - no aluminum
1 whole organic egg
1/2 cup pure water
1 1/2 teaspoons walnut oil
Tons of chopped walnuts
Tons of blueberries

I only make them once a year and vary the ingredients. I make sure the batter is thick enough to support the blueberries and chopped walnuts though because my pancakes don't look much like regular Bisquick pancakes! In mine, I go very heavy on the fruit and nuts with just a little thick batter to support them. As best I can remember, they are made something like this (but it's only a guess!!!):

I cook each pancake in a little walnut oil, flip once and serve with a very small amount of warm, pure maple syrup. Obviously, this is a "once or twice in the fall" type meal. I always serve it with a large amount of sausage, bacon, etc.

Faux Potato Pancakes

3 green plantains
1 shallot
2 large eggs
1 portabello mushroom (optional)
Coconut milk
Spices (to taste):
  Curry Powder
  Paprika
  Mustard Powder
  Salt
  Pepper

Peel the plantains and cut them into 1-2" chunks. Peel the skin off the shallot and chop it into 4-6 pieces. Put them in the food processor. Break the eggs and add them to the food processor. Start on low.

While the food processor is running, slowly add coconut milk and the spices. If any of the material starts collecting in the bottom of the food processor, stop the processor and use a rubber spatula to mix it up a little.

When the contents are the right consistency to make the pancakes, put into a bowl. Pre-heat a large non-stick skillet and use a small ladle or large spoon to add the batter to the skillet. When you serve the pancakes, serve the chilled Avocado "Sour Cream" on the side, so people can add it as they wish. This will make a filling breakfast for 3 people.

Almond Flour Homemade Tortillas

1 Tbsp finely ground flax seeds
3 Tbsp boiling water
3 cups almond flour
1 tsp sea salt
1 free-range egg, lightly beaten
2 tsp honey (it really needs the little bit of honey to bind)

In a small bowl, let flax sit in boiling water for about 5 minutes.

In a separate medium bowl, mix together the almond flour and sea salt with a fork. Add the egg, flax mixture and honey, one at a time, to the almond flour. Stir until it forms a firm dough that isn't too sticky to handle. If it is too sticky, add more almond flour until you can easily roll it into a ball.

Cut the ball in into quarters. Cut each of the 4 pieces in half making 8 pieces total.

(I lack a tortilla press. If you're in the same boat, follow these steps..) Place a strip of all natural waxed paper on your counter. One at a time, take a piece of dough and roll it into a ball with your hands. Place the piece of dough in the center of the waxed paper. Place another strip of waxed paper over the dough ball. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough until it is as thin as you can get it without it falling apart.

(Don't go for perfect! These are not going to be completely round tortillas like you find in the store. Each one of these tortillas will be unique because, hey, they're natural! They will have jagged edges and some little holes here and there, but that's okay! Be proud that you made them from scratch without the nasty preservatives. :)

Oil a cast iron skillet with coconut oil and heat skillet to Medium heat. Be sure to give the pan plenty of time to heat before adding your first tortilla, a good 8 minutes is sometimes needed for the best cast iron pans. As you get into making tortilla #2-3, you may find they are browning more quickly. Go ahead and lower the temperature to Medium-Low to prevent burning.

Remove the waxed paper from the tortilla. Just like moving pie crust, gently put your non-dominant hand underneath the waxed paper under the tortilla. Flip the tortilla onto your dominant hand while you peel away the waxed paper. Then gently place it into the skillet. If there are folds, try to even them out, or just mush them down with a spatula. Cook for about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown. The edges will brown and the middle will start to bubble.

Flip and cook on the other side for another minute or less. Cook each tortilla one at a time. Add more coconut oil as the skillet becomes dry. As the tortillas cook, stack them up on a plate and cover until you're ready to use them, to keep them warm. You can make ahead and freeze the tortillas once cooled or just keep them in the fridge in a glass container for a few days.

Chestnut Flour Crepes (Necci)

1 cup chestnut flour, sifted
2 extra-large eggs
1 1/4 cups coconut milk
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Place flour in a large bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add half of the coconut milk and whisk until smooth. Add remaining coconut milk and whisk until smooth; let batter stand 15 minutes.

Heat a 6-to-8-inch cast-iron skillet or crepe pan over medium heat; brush pan with enough olive oil to coat. Add 2 tablespoons batter to pan and tilt until evenly coated. Cook until crepe becomes firm on the bottom and begins curling at the edges, about 1 minute. Turn and cook until opposite side is cooked through. Repeat process with remaining batter, stacking crepes on top of one another as you cook.

Coconut Flour Berry Crepes

2 eggs
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (can substitute almond extract)
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons coconut flour, sifted
small pinch of nutmeg
pinch of cinnamon
1/3 cup coconut milk
1-1/2 cups blueberries (or other berries)

In a medium bowl with a wire whisk, beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla, and salt. Mix in sifted coconut flour, nutmeg and cinnamon; stir in coconut milk.

Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium heat. When hot, melt a tiny pat of coconut oil in the pan. Pour 1/8 cup of batter in the skillet and swirl around in pan until a thin layer of batter covers the bottom. The crepe should be about 6-inches in diameter.

Cook 1-2 minutes, or until batter is bubbly and cooked around the edges. Flip the crepe and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes more, or until done.

Fill the crepes with the berries, and if you wish a light dusting of coconut flour.

Makes about 6 crepes.

Coconut Flour Tortillas

1 tablespoon coconut flour
1/16 teaspoon baking powder
2 egg whites (or, 3 tablespoons egg whites)
2 tablespoons water or coconut milk
coconut oil

Mix the coconut flour and baking powder with the water (or milk) and egg whites. Whisk or blend until all lumps disappear (I usually mix, then wait a couple of minutes and mix again).

Pour all the batter on a heated pan greased with coconut oil (grease well). Pour batter in center of pan. Tilt the pan around to spread the batter into a large circle, almost covering the entire bottom of the pan.

Be very careful with this part: wait until the edges are brown on the side of the tortilla, or carefully circle spatula around the bottom of tortilla until safe to flip. Once safe, flip the tortilla and cook for about 30 seconds on the other side.

Fill with berries, enchilada filling - anything you like!

These are thin and delicate. Use them for enchiladas, sandwich wraps, or anything you can think of!

Doughnuts

About 2-3 cups almond flour
2 eggs
1 banana
1/8 cup of coconut oil

Mix all ingredients, using just 1 cup almond flour, in a food processor. Place in a bowl and continue adding almond flour, stirring frequently, until the dough has reached a consistency that you can shape it into 1-1/4 inch balls. Deep fry in coconut oil until golden brown. Watch them, they burn quickly. Roll in topping (honey, chopped nuts, cinnamon, toasted coconut) and eat as soon as cool enough, or the next day (somehow they are not as good in that in-between time). Enjoy with spiced cider.
