Author Notes: I have recently been practicing breakfast recipes for holiday family get togethers. This one is adapted from an excellent cook I know and I am so happy to share it. It is healthy, indulgent, and incredibly crowd pleasing all in one! Chocolate, blueberries, zucchini, coconut ..may I say more? —Dee
Makes: 8-10 pancakes
Ingredients
-
1
tablespoon ground flax seeds
-
1
cup full-fat, unsweetened coconut milk
-
1/3
cup oat flakes (quinoa flakes are a great gluten-free option)
-
1/3
cup millet flour
-
1/3
cup buckwheat flour
-
pinch
sea salt
-
1
egg
-
1.5
tablespoons maple syrup
-
1
tablespoon coconut oil warmed to liquid, (plus more for the pan)
-
1
medium zucchini, finely shredded
-
1
cup fresh/frozen blueberries
Directions
- In a bowl, mix coconut milk and flax seeds well. Set aside
- In a large bowl, combine flours, oats, salt, and chocolate.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg with maple syrup until creamy and doubled in volume. Pour the milk and chia mixture into the large bowl with flours. Mix well.
- On medium heat, warm a skillet with a small amount of coconut oil. Ladle 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan to form 4 inch pancakes.
- Scatter blueberries on top of each pancake and gently press into the batter with a spatula. Cook until bubbles form ( about 1 minute). Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute, or until golden.
- Serve with maple syrup, berries, yogurt, or coconut whip cream (see other recipe)
