Pancakes for breakfast are a staple in many people’s households! They are a sweet treat we enjoy throughout childhood, and even us adults can enjoy them as well.

While traditional pancakes may not be all that healthy, you can easily make a traditionally unhealthy pancake recipe into a healthier treat that tastes just as good as the real thing.

This recipe uses coconut flour instead of wheat-based flour making them friendly for those who follow a gluten-free diet. They are also lower in carbs than traditional pancakes and contain maca to help support overall hormone balance.

Here’s what you need

• 2 Tbsp. coconut flour
• 2 Tbsp. almond flour
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbsp. unsweetened almond milk
• 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp. maca powder
• ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• Coconut oil for cooking

Directions:

1.  Start by preheating a large skillet over medium heat with the coconut oil.

2.  Mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl whisking until no clumps remain.

4.  Serve with an extra drizzle of pure maple syrup, and enjoy.
