Almond Flour Flapjack Recipe<\/h3>\n

serves 10 – 20 flapjacks depending on how thick you make them<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 1\/2 cups\u00a0blanched almond flour\"\"<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 tsp baking soda<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 tsp sea salt<\/li>\n
  • 3 large pastured eggs, room temperature<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup\u00a0pure coconut milk<\/li>\n
  • 1 tbsp Flora margarine<\/li>\n
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)<\/li>\n
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 tsp apple cider vinegar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. In a small bowl combine the blanched almond flour, baking soda and salt.<\/li>\n
    2. Next, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a medium bowl; set aside.<\/li>\n
    3. Place the egg yolks in a large bowl and whisk in the melted Flora margarine. Next, whisk in the milk, maple syrup, vanilla and apple cider vinegar.<\/li>\n
    4. Then, add the dry mixture to the egg yolk mixture, whisking well to thoroughly combine, making sure there are no lumps in the batter.<\/li>\n
    5. Using a clean large wire whisk, whisk the egg whites rapidly until very foamy (about two minutes).<\/li>\n
    6. Then, use the whisk to fold the whipped egg whites into the batter; by gently turning the batter over and over again, until well combined.<\/li>\n
    7. Grease preheated griddle with Flora margarine.<\/li>\n
    8. Ladle a spoonful of batter onto the griddle to form a small circle.<\/li>\n
    9. Cook for a few minutes, until pancakes begin to dry out at edges and the bottoms are a golden brown. It\u2019s important to keep a careful eye on them as almond flour pancakes burn easily.<\/li>\n
    10. Carefully flip and cook another few minutes until done, but not over-browned.<\/li>\n
    11. Serve hot off the griddle with cultured butter, pure maple syrup and a medley of fresh berries.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
