Welcome to Bootcamp 26, NGPT newbies and vets! Each week I’ll be posting a recipe that fits our current nutrition level to encourage you to mix it up and avoid boredom with the plan. This week is a twist on pancakes using coconut flour which I’ve begun using coconut flour fairly recently. Give this a whirl for a hearty, coconutty breakfast…or dinner!
Coconut Flour Pancakes http://honeyvillefarms.blogspot.com/2014/01/coconut-flour-pancakes-recipe.html#.VPhsl010yJA
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp sugar-free syrup
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- Coconut oil or spray for frying
Mix all but oil well without blending completely for a fluffier result. Preheat a skillet on medium. Melt a small amount of oil or use nonstick spray. Drop in 2 tbsp batter at a time and cook on each side until browned. Try adding extracts and spices to change up the flavor: Vanilla? Almond? Maple? Cinnamon? Ginger?
While checking the recipe’s link, it seems the company has removed this recipe but they have a waffle recipe posted with the exact same ingredients (I halved what’s online). So feel free to try this on a waffle iron as well. Details:

Get your coconut on! ¼ cup coconut flour counts as 1 carb serving. On Level 1’s food plan, you can top this with 2 tbsp nut butter (maybe warm it slightly so it pours!). Serve with a couple Omega-3 eggs cooked to order to round out your Meal #1. Keep your eyes on my blog each week for new ideas to keep you feasting friendly. Feast on pancakes, feast on waffles, and as always…FEAST ON!!!
