Organic Apple Cider Pancakes

With the cool crisp chilly air of fall comes the need to fill our bellies with something warm to start our day. If you are like me, you are constantly trying to find something to eat besides oatmeal, but the traditional American breakfast keeps packing on the pounds. Here is an incredible recipe I found for Organic Apple Cider Pancakes (grain free). If this doesn't start your day off right, then I don't know what will!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup coconut flour (I prefer Bob’s Red Mill)
6 tablespoons tapioca flour
2 teaspoons apple pie spice
1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
8 large eggs
1/2 cup plain whole yogurt (you can use a coconut or almond milk yogurt for a dairy-free option)
6 tablespoons butter, melted (or 5 tablespoons coconut oil)
1/3 cup reduced apple cider*
1/2 cup raw honey

Ghee or coconut oil for frying
Maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions

Place the coconut flour, tapioca flour, apple pie spice, sea salt and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the mixture until blended. In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, butter, apple cider and honey. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes.

Heat a large frying pan over medium-low heat for 2 minutes until hot. Add 1 tablespoon ghee, melt and swirl to coat. Spoon a small portion of batter onto the pan to make a 4-5” pancake. Cook until bottom side is golden brown. Using a spatula, flip the pancake and cook until the second side is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

*To reduce the apple cider: Place 1 cup of apple cider in a saucepan and bring to a low simmer over low heat. Continue to simmer until reduced by over half.
