Baby blue arsenal leads to pancakes..recipe!

Today was the second day of the BC rotating teacher's strike in our region, so Becca was home from school, which was such a relief as i'm recovering from stomach flu/food poisoning so I didn't want to get up and rush out the door as per our usual routine. I have been too busy to do any baking or elaborate breakfasts (doing it butter-coffee-in-mug-out-the-door-sleep-zombie-girl-STYLE) for weeks...months maybe. However this morning I was inspired by Beccas baby blues and pouty lips, mummy can you pleeeeeeeaaaaseeee make pancakes. I could not say no, despite my tornado like kitchen (lasts nights dinner dishes still on my dining room table. ) They were super good, my littlest even at 3! Which is pretty much a miracle because she NEVER eats (unless its cheese:)



Blueberry Cinnamon Paleo Pancakes
local/organic ingredients whenever possible
Serves 4 


Ingredients:
5 eggs
3/4 cup coconut milk (or other dairy free milk alternative)
1/2 cup coconut flour (+ maybe 1tbs or two if it needs to be thicker, it takes a minute or two to 'fluff up' -patience:)
-1/4 cup coconut milk or grassfed butter (melted)
-1tsp baking soda
-1tsp cinnamon
-1tbs honey (optional)
-1/2 cup fresh blueberries

The Method:
Preheat pan to medium-low heat. Melt coconut oil or butter. While oil is melting, beat eggs and milk with a hand or electric mixer, then add the melted oil/butter. Mix coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and honey into the wet egg mixture. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken. Fold in blueberries. pour in 1/4 cup diameter and cook 2-3 minutes per side, again, patience!

I served mine with some grass fed butter, and a drizzle of real Canadian maple syrup! Enjoy:)
