Paleo Pancakes with Lemon & Coconut Sugar

These crepe style pancakes are grain & gluten free and will taste delicious with any topping (but we went for classic lemon & sugar and a sprinkling of our favourite granola…!) - try with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey or nut butter and cacao nibs.

They will make a nutritious breakfast, snack or dessert, not just on Pancake Day, but all year round!

Makes 6 pancakes (Serves 3)

Ingredients

• 4 eggs

• 100ml coconut milk

• 100ml almond milk

• Pinch of salt

• 1 1/4 tbsp psyllium husk powder

• 4 tbsp ground almonds 

• 30g coconut oil

To Serve

• Lemon wedges

• Coconut yoghurt

• Honey & Pecan granola

• Coconut sugar

Method

1. In a bowl, mix together the eggs, almond milk, coconut milk and salt with a balloon whisk.

2. Slowly whisk in the psyllium husk and ground almonds until you get a smooth batter. Place to one side to thicken for about 15 minutes.

3. Using a non stick pan, fry 1 small ladle of paleo pancake batter in coconut oil pan on a medium-heat. Ensure there is enough coconut oil to generously coat the pan to avoid any sticking. Don’t rush, wait until the top is almost cooked before carefully turning. Cooking time approximately 1.5 minutes for the first side and 1 minute for the second.

4. Serve with coconut yoghurt, coconut sugar, lemon and a sprinkling of Honey & Pecan granola!

Cooking Tips

Make sure you use psyllium husk powder and not whole psyllium. If you can’t find psyllium husk powder, buy whole psyllium and blitz it in a high speed blender until fine. 

Different brands and even egg sizes can affect how your pancakes turn out. If the batter thickens too much you can thin it with a little more almond milk. If the opposite happens and it’s too thin, add a little more psyllium!

Paleo Mince Pies

Let’s get festive with these deliciously comforting Mince Pies made with all natural ingredients, no refined sugar, and no grains or gluten! The perfect treat for Christmas, to share with family and friends (these will go pretty quick..!)

Makes 10 Mince Pies

Ingredients

• 150g of almond flour (ground almonds)

• 75g of coconut flour

• 1 tbsp of coconut sugar

• 1/2 tsp of baking powder

• 1/2 tsp of salt

• Zest of an orange

• 115g of butter, frozen. Plus a little extra for greasing

• 1 egg, beaten

• Approx 350g homemade mincemeat, or if you want to buy the mincemeat we recommend a more natural brand such as Meridian

Method

1. Sieve the ground almonds, coconut flour, sugar, baking soda and salt into a bowl and stir in the orange zest.

2. Grate the frozen/cold butter into the flour and mix together with your fingers until crumbs form.

3. Stir in the egg and bring together with your hands until a dough is formed.

4. Divide the dough in half, wrap each in cling film, and place in the fridge for at least one hour.

5. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees and grease the moulds of a muffin / cake tin.

6. Remove the dough from the fridge and place between two sheets of baking paper. Roll out the dough and using a cookie cutter, cut out circles and press into the moulds; patience is required as being gluten free means the pastry will be a little more crumbly - it’s fine to use your fingers to squish together any cracks!

7. Fill each pastry mould with mincemeat, then using the remainder of the dough, cut out enough stars to top each pie with.

8. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until turning golden. Leave to cool in the tin before gently easing out (this is important or they may fall apart!)

9. Enjoy on their own or serve with coconut yogurt, delicious!

Fudgy Paleo Brownies

Dreamy, fudgy, gluten and wheat free brownies that are deliciously indulgent (and more-ish!) and easy to make! Perfect with a cold glass of our almond milk. 

Makes 12-15 brownies

Ingredients

- 70g grass-fed butter

- 60g virgin coconut oil

- 160g of maple syrup

- 80g of cocoa powder

- ½ teaspoon of rock sea salt

- 2 medium eggs (room temperature)

- 70g of almond flour

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees and line an 8x8 inch baking tin with grease proof paper.

2. Add the butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, cocoa powder and salt to a heatproof bowl and melt over a pot of boiling water. Heat until all butter and coconut oil has melted and the mixture is well incorporated. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly (about 2 mins).

3. Now add the eggs one at a time (ensure these are at room temperature!). Stir the mixture well after adding each egg ensuring they are evenly mixed.

4. Add almond flour to the mixture, stirring vigorously until fully blended. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan.

5. Bake for 15-25 minutes or until the centre has just set (this varies dependingon oven type). The best way to check if it's ready is to insert a tooth pick into the centre; it should come out almost clean and slightly moist. Be careful not to overcook it as it will dry out and lose its lovely fudgy texture!

6. Allow to cool completely (you can place in the freezer for 10mins to speed upcooling time and reduce drooling time!). Cut brownies to desired size and enjoy right away with a nice cold glass of Paleo Foods Co. Almond Milk and fresh strawberries! (These brownies are best kept refrigerated)

Vegan Chickpea Pancakes

Happy Pancake Day!

Give these vegan pancakes a try made with our thick, creamy almond milk and drizzled with maple syrup.

Makes a stack of 7­-8 pancakes

Ingredients

• 125g chickpea flour
• 1 ½ tsp of baking powder
• 100 ml of The Paleo Foods Co. 9% almond milk
• 1 large ripe banana, mashed
• 1 tbsp of maple syrup
• Coconut oil (for frying)
• Optional: pinch of salt, ½ tsp of cinnamon, 1 tsp of vanilla

Method

1. In a large bowl sift together the chickpea flour and baking powder.

2. Place the banana, maple syrup, almond milk and the optional ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk together to create a smooth batter. If the batter seems to thick add a little extra almond milk gradually, or if it seems too wet add a little extra flour (you want a slightly thicker than traditional pancake recipe).

4. Place a small frying pan on a medium heat adding one teaspoon of coconut oil. Once the pan is hot and the oil has melted reduce the heat a little.

5. Scoop up a full ladle of the pancake batter and pour onto the pan, after 1 minute or so, or when the top starts to bubble, flip and cook on the other side. (It’s useful to peak underneath the pancake before you flip to check it has got colour!). 

6. Continue with the rest of the batter until all pancakes are made and then serve with coconut yogurt, extra maple syrup, berries and a sprinkling of freshly toasted pecans (or our grain-free granola!)

Enjoy!
