Gluten free pumpkin spice pancakes
For a nutritious start to Halloween, whip up these gluten-free pancakes for breakfast with coconut flour and homemade pumpkin spice.
Ingredients
- 8 eggs, beaten
- 120ml milk
- 6 tbsp melted butter, plus 1 tbsp for cooking
- 70g coconut flour
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 tsp pumpkin spice (alternatively 1 tsp ground ginger and 1 tsp cinnamon)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 50ml maple syrup
- 1 banana, sliced
- 100g blueberries
Method
- In a jug, combine the eggs and milk.
- In a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, sugar, pumpkin spice, baking powder and sea salt. Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Finish by whisking in the melted butter until the mix is all combined.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of butter in a large frying pan. Spoon coaster-sized amounts of pancake mixture into the frying pan, well spread apart (you will need to do the pancakes in batches).
- Allow the pancakes to cook on a low heat for 4-5 minutes or until the base is firm, then flip the pancakes onto the other side and cook for a further 2-3 minutes or until risen and firm.
- Keep the cooked pancakes warm while you finish using up all the mixture.
- To serve, pile them up and top with sliced banana, blueberries and maple syrup
