Cinnamon Bun Pancakes

Yes, they are Paleo, with a few minor details.  Honey and maple syrup are questionable but they are in small amounts.  You have to be careful with Baking Powder as it often contains cornstarch and can not be guaranteed gluten free.  You can make your own by mixing 1/4 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup cream of tartar - just mix together well and store in an airtight container until needed.

My boys loved these, especially the coconut milk topping - they said it tasted like vanilla pudding.




Ingredients:

Batter:
1 cup coconut flour
2 tsp baking powder (or your own mix as mentioned above)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp maple syrup
5 eggs beaten
1 cup almond milk
2 tbsp grape seed oil

Cinnamon "filling":
3 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup honey
2 tsp cinnamon

How to:

In a mixing bowl whisk flour, baking powder and salt.  In another bowl combine egg, almond milk, oil and syrup.  Add to flour mixture all at once.  Stir until just blended but still slightly lumpy. 
Mix the coconut oil, honey and cinnamon together and pour into a Ziploc bag.  Cut off a small corner and set aside.
Grease a medium hot griddle or heavy skillet with a light coating of coconut oil.  Pour about 1/4 c batter onto the griddle or skillet and immediately swirl some of the cinnamon mixture onto each pancake, resembling a cinnamon bun.  When small bubbles form on top of the pancakes and begin to pop, flip them over.  Watch carefully and keep the heat on the lower side as the cinnamon mixture will burn if the pan is too hot.  Repeat with remaining batter.  Makes 8-10 standard size pancakes. 

Optional:  Mix 1/2 can coconut milk with 1 Tbsp maple syrup and 1/2 tsp vanilla and serve as a topping.  Or just drizzle a bit of coconut milk on top, also very good.

    Looking forward to trying these! I was looking up IHOP's cinn-a-stack pancakes, and realizing that there HAD to be something in the paleo world that replicates them.

Cheeseburger Pie Continuing Evolution

Image
Almost a year ago   I posted The Evolution of A Recipe showing how I have changed the recipe for Impossible Cheeseburger Pie over the years so that my family could continue to enjoy it even though our eating habits have changed.  I have made yet another change to that delicious recipe and want to share it with all of you.  Below is my recipe from a year ago with a couple changes.  Most of it will stay the same, the change is to the biscuit mix.  I have hi-lited the changes by changing the text colour to red.  Happy Cooking! My NEW Paleo Version Impossible Cheeseless Burger Pie Ingredients: 1 lb. extra lean ground grass fed beef 1 med. yellow onion chopped 1/4 tsp sea salt 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper 2 fresh chopped Jalapenos (I remove the seeds so they aren't quite as hot) 2 cloves garlic smashed and chopped 2 tsp chili powder 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp paprika 1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne 1 1/2 c. Almond or coconut milk 1/4 C Coconut Flour 3/4 ...

First of all, sorry I have been on a bit of a hiatus lately.  It has been a very busy summer and a lot of my free time has been spend training to finish the last couple things I need for my AKC 2. It has paid off though, summer isn't over yet and I can already do 2 pull ups!  Anyway, I came up with a delicious recipe the other day that I just had to share with everyone.  This took a bit of trial and error but it was worth it.  The boys love these and they are paleo, nut free and safe for school.  I know it is still a few weeks away but it's coming quickly! Ingredients: 1 500g jar of sunflower seed butter or tahini (unsalted) (I prefer the tahini as it has a bit of a stronger, more peanut flavour) 2 Omega 3 eggs 1 cup maple syrup 1 TBSP pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup pure cocoa powder 1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt 1 tsp baking soda "Peanut Butter" Swirl ingredients: 1/8 cup tahini 1 TBSP maple syrup pinch Celtic sea salt How To: 1.

Red Thai Curry with Shrimp This is probably my favourite food.  You can easily substitute cooked, sliced chicken for the shrimp but is just so easy with shrimp and very tasty.  My version is packed with veggie goodness just to add to the health benefits.  I usually serve this over brown jasmine rice but it would work equally as well over riced cauliflower.  I was cooking for 5 people and a toddler so I made quite a bit.  I will half the ingredients in this recipe but know that it doubles well.  I only had 1 can of coconut cream so I just added a bit more broth and curry paste and it was good so it's a pretty versatile and forgiving recipe. Recipe: Ingredients: 1 Bag frozen raw shrimp, peeled, tails off 2 green onions Thumb sized piece of ginger grated 2 garlic cloves minced 1/2 red bell pepper sliced thin 1/2 yellow or orange bell pepper sliced thin 1 small zucchini sliced 1 small carrot grated 1 can coconut milk/cream 1/4 to 1/2 c...
