Coconut Pancakes with Blueberries & Vanilla Cream {S}

I’ve been following trim healthy mama style of eating for a year and a half. Using coconut flour was new to me, until about a year ago. It can be temperamental. It doesn’t follow the normal rules of baking/cooking. But don’t let that scare you – simply follow my easy peasy recipe and you will be nom nom noming on some delicious coconut pancakes for breakfast or lunch. Please note that this recipe doesn’t have a load of protein. You could add half a scoop of Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) if you wanted to… or you could have a Fat Stripping Frappe (FSF) for morning/afternoon tea.

I’ve found that my body functions best when I have {S} breakfasts. If I do have an {E} breakfast, it is usually only a very small serve. E breakfasts seem to affect my blood sugar levels in a way that makes me slightly dizzy, light-headed and feeling spaced out. But a gal can only eat fried eggs, boiled eggs, omelet, scrambled eggs and frittata so many times before it becomes monotonous, eh? Enter… Coconut pancakes!

Coconut Pancakes with Blueberries & Vanilla Cream

Serves 1 (with 2 pancakes)

• 1 egg
• 1 TB coconut oil
• 1 Tsp Natvia or other plan approved sweetener
• pinch of sea salt
• 1 TB coconut flour
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 40ml coconut milk (to cut about 8grams of fat content of this meal you can use unsweetened almond milk instead)
• 1/4 – 1/2 cup blueberries (as many as you like but to keep this as an S do not exceed half a cup)
• 40 – 50 ml cream or Greek Yogurt seasoned with 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract and a pinch of Natvia

1. Mix egg, coconut oil, Natvia, salt, coconut flour and coconut link in a blender, stick blender or magic bullet. Set aside.
2. Gently heat blueberries in a little water until thawed or nice and syrupy. Add a sprinkling of natvia. Set aside.
3. Combine cream, vanilla and another sprinkling of Natvia. Set aside.
4. Heat a non stick fry pan, with a teeny little of coconut oil or butter. You only need a smidgen. Pour in half of the pancake batter and gently cook through. Flip to cook the other side. Repeat with remaining pancake mix.
5. Serve on a plate, topped with syrupy blueberries and vanilla cream.

Easy peasy and yummy in my tummy.

A new, Australian, online store to source all those ingredients!
