Ingredients
Units
- 1 cups (237 ml) blanched almond flour
- 1 cups (237 ml) tapioca flour
- 2 apple pie spice
- 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 cups (237 ml) North Coast Organic (Unsweetened Applesauce)
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cups (59 ml) coconut sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 medium honeycrisp apple
- ghee or avocado oil
- 1 large apple
- 1 Tbsp ghee
- Small pinch cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- Sliced nuts
- Maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- Combine blanched almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, sea salt, and spices in a small bowl, breaking up any chunks of almond flour with a fork.
- Stir in vanilla, applesauce, eggs, and sugar until all ingredients are combined, but be careful not to over-mix.
- Allow the batter to sit for a few minutes while you prepare the apple topping.
For the apple topping
- Melt 1 Tbsp ghee in a small skillet.
- Add apple chunks, a pinch of cinnamon and sea salt.
- Cook for about 10 minutes over medium-low heat, until the apples are soft, stirring often.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp of ghee or avocado oil.
- Once hot, add the pancakes using a 1/4 – 1/2 cup scoop.
- Cook for about 3 minutes per side, until tiny bubbles appear on the first side and the pancakes are golden brown.
- Serve immediately with the apple topping, sliced nuts, and maple syrup (optional).
Notes
- For a sweeter pancake, increase the coconut sugar to ? cup.
- If you don’t have honeycrisp apples, any firm, tart apple will work well in the topping.
- To make ahead, prepare the pancake batter and apple topping separately and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
