Low Carb Flax and Coconut Personal Pancake
So I was wanting something both high fiber and high protein for breakfast. I pulled the ingredients out that I was interested in using and mixed them together. My daughter walked in while it was cooking and asked, "What's that?" To which I replied, "I don't know!" Well, once it was done and I tasted it, I decided it was definitely a pancake. I spread some all-fruit spread on it and enjoyed it as such. I hope this helps someone else along their way :)
Low Carb Flax and Coconut Personal Pancake
Serves 1
In a bowl mix well:
2 eggs
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Add and mix well:
1/4 cup ground flax seed meal (use almond flour for SCD)
2 tablespoons shredded coconut -- mine was pretty finely shredded, not the big chunks that are called shredded, but neither was it finely ground. I'd say, "medium grind."
2 packets Stevia based sweetener* (or 1 tablespoon honey for SCD)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pre-heat a small frying pan with 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Pour the batter into the pan as soon as the oil melts. Cover it and cook it over medium low heat for about 3 minutes or until the top of the pancake can be touched and it's no longer sticky. It can be flipped if a browned appearance on both sides is desired.
Place the pancake onto a plate and top as desired: Sugar free syrup, peanut butter and jam, jelly, etc. (Not for SCD -- for SCD, peanut butter and honey would be great!)
*Note: This would be good without toppings, too. Use an additional 2 packets stevia sweetener, (or another tablespoon of honey for SCD), and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon in the batter.
As I said, I put all-fruit spread on mine. Enjoy!
