Flourless Pancakes With Berry Compote Food

1-BOWL GRAIN-FREE PANCAKES

Steps:

• To a mixing bowl, add melted vegan butter, nut butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup and whisk well to combine. Add dairy-free milk and eggs and whisk once more to combine.
• Add baking powder and whisk to combine. Then add almond flour, starting with the lesser amount and whisking to combine. You're going for a cake batter texture - not too runny, but not too gloppy or thick (see photo). Add more almond flour until the right texture is achieved. If it gets too thick, thin with more dairy-free milk.
• Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat. Once hot, grease the surface with a little oil or your butter of choice. Wait 1 minute. Then add batter 1/4 cup at a time, giving your pancakes room to spread. They're ready to flip when they puff up slightly, the edges are dry, and the surface appears shiny - about 3 minutes.
• Carefully flip and cook on the other side until golden brown and cooked all the way through - about 2 minutes. Continue until all batter is cooked (as recipe is written, ~10 pancakes).
• Serve immediately with desired toppings. We enjoyed with a bit of vegan butter, berry compote, and maple syrup. These would also go well with nut butter, honey, bananas, or another fruit of choice.
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer up to 1 month. To freeze, lay in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. To reheat, either microwave or heat in a toaster or 350-degree F (176 C) oven until warm.

WHOLE-WHEAT PANCAKES WITH BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Make the pancakes: Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Whisk together flour, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk in buttermilk, oil, and eggs. Let stand 10 minutes (if batter thickens, stir in 1 tablespoon water).
• Make the compote: Heat blueberries, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until berries begin to burst, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in sugar. Simmer, stirring often, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and stir in blackberries.
• Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. Spoon in 1 tablespoon batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear. Flip, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Keep warm in oven while you cook remaining batter. Serve with compote.

WARM BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• In a large, nonreactive saute pan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup water & 1/2 cup sugar & bring to boil, stirring to dissolve sugar.
• Cook 2 minutes, then add berries, lemon juice & salt.
• Return to boil, then add butter & swirl mixture around in the pan until butter melts.
• Spoon berries along with the sauce onto warmed dessert placts &, if desired, place a small scoop of vanilla ice cream (or yogurt) in center of each plate.
• Serve immediately & enjoy!
