I have always loved pancakes as a special treat for breakfast, and who doesn’t? It’s the perfect thing for a slow weekend morning or even an easy comfort food dinner. Pancakes are a simple indulgence to celebrate any occasion or just treat yourself, and I love how easy this recipe is. It has been challenging to find a good pancake recipe while on the AIP, but I am incredibly pleased with this one. Bonus, enjoy with blueberries, strawberries, or even chocolate chips (a reintroduction – use carob chips for AIP).
I adapted this recipe from Michelle Hoover’s waffle recipe in The Autoimmune Protocol Comfort Food Cookbook, which you can find on her blog Unbound Wellness. I highly recommend both!
Pancake Ingredients
- 1 cup cassava flour
- ¼ cup arrowroot flour
- 3 tablespoons tigernut flour
- 2 tbsp collagen
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted (you can substitute olive oil, but it may alter the flavor)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup of coconut milk
- ¼ to 1/3 cup water – start with ¼ cup
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Optional: chocolate chips or carob chips for AIP
- Optional toppings: fresh sliced strawberries or blueberries and maple syrup to taste
Instructions
- Preheat griddle to about 325F
- Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl (cassava flour, arrowroot flour, tigernut flour, collagen, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt)
- Stir in the coconut oil and maple syrup
- Thoroughly mix in the coconut milk, apple cider vinegar, and ¼ cup of water. The batter should be a little thicker than traditional pancake batter but easily pour into a round shape on the griddle. You should only have to spread it slightly with a spoon. Add a little more water if needed, but if you add too much the pancakes will become gummy. The amount of water needed will depend on the flours and coconut milk consistency.
- Using a ¼ cup to help spoon the batter into a round pancake shape on the griddle and repeat as space allows. Optional, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of each pancake. Flip after about 2 minutes, you may or may not see a few bubbles on the pancakes. Cook for about 2 more minutes on the second side. Repeat with the rest of the pancake batter. Enjoy!
- Optional: Add fresh sliced strawberries or blueberries on top.
