Clean Eating Fluffy Pancakes



My family loves pancakes and when we decided to make the switch to eating clean a couple of years ago I had to come up with something different. My old recipe included things like white processed flour, fluorescent colored eggs, vegetable oil, homogenized milk, not to mention the tons of syrup we would soak them in which contained untold amounts of high fructose corn syrup.  I have had to make many batches to come up with something that taste as good as the old crap we used to shovel down and I believe I finally have them perfected!

You will need:
3 Cups Organic Whole Wheat Pastry Flour(I buy mine in the bulk section so its almost as cheap as Gold Medal give you diseases flour)
2 1/2 Tablespoons of Baking Powder
1 1/2 Teaspoons of Salt
2 Tablespoons Coconut sugar
2 3/4 Cups Milk
2 Farm Fresh Eggs (I get mine from a lovely farmer who is good to his chickens and lets them eat bugs)
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
2 Tablespoons melted Coconut Oil

Here are the brands I buy....well I put my salt and soda in different jars but I just buy those at natural grocers.

Here are the directions. Easy Peasy.
1. Mix dry ingredients
  2. Add Wet ingredients
                                     3. Stir with a whisk until everything is mixed up



4. Scoop about 1/4 cup out and put on hot griddle.  I use an ice cream scoop and kinda swirl it out with the back of the scoop so that it makes a thinner pancake.

Kinda like this:

5. Each side takes about 1 minute.  Just watch for the air bubbles to pop and the holes to stay.  Thats how you know its ready to flip!

6.  I put a very SMALL amount of butter on them and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar( I keep this made up) and then do a drizzle of maple flavored Agave Nectar.


Let me just tell you one thing.  THESE ARE SOOO INCREDIBLE.  Just so you know, because these do contain a small amount of sugar I don't recommend eating these every day. These are perfect for those lazy hazy days when you just want a good pancake!
