Ingredients
Pancake Ingredients
  • 4 cups almond flour
  • 1 ½ cup potato starch
  • 2 Tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 2 ½ cups water or plain and unsweetened non-dairy milk

Instructions
Pancake Instructions
  1. Get a griddle heating to LOW – MEDIUM-LOW heat (I use a setting of 2.8 out of 9).

  2. In a large bowl, wisk together the dry ingredients. Wisk the wet ingredients in a separate bowl and add to the dry. Wisk together until smooth.

  3. Spread 1 teaspoon of coconut oil around the griddle and wait 1 minute to let the oil get hot. Drop batter onto the griddle by the ½ cup. The batter will be slightly thicker than typical pancake batter, so use the back of the measuring cup to spread it a little. Let it cook for a few minutes, or until the top starts to look dry around the edges and the bottom is slightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the other side is slightly browned, as well.
  4. Remove from heat and let set for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy with Maple Butter Sauce (recipe below).

Maple Butter Sauce Instructions

  2. low-medium heat. Once it’s at a simmer, remove it from the heat and wisk while adding the
  3. butter or vegan butter, a couple of tablespoons at a time. Add cinnamon and wisk well.
  4. Drizzle over pancakes and enjoy!
