I know Paleo pancakes are totally candy cigarettes but once in a while, I feel like making a stack for weekend brunch! Plus, they're delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons full fat coconut milk
- ½ mashed ripe banana (about 2 tablespoons)
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ tablespoons of Bob’s Red Mill organic coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 small pinch of salt
- ghee or coconut oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs, coconut milk, mashed banana, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until well combined.
- Then, in a separate bowl, mix together the coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Whisk together the dry and wet ingredients just before cooking.
- Heat a tablespoon of ghee over medium heat in a small cast iron skillet and add a tablespoon of batter to the pan.
- As soon as bubbles formed on the surface (about 1½ minutes), flip the flapjack over and let it cook for another 30 seconds or so on the other side.
- Repeat until done with the batter and enjoy!
Sriracha “GET:kk
1½ pounds fresh red jalapeño peppers, stemmed, seeded, and roughly chopped
8 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons honey (see note below)
2 tablespoons Paleo-friendly fish sauce
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
“THIS:
Throw the peppers, garlic, vinegar, tomato paste, honey, fish sauce, and salt into a high-speed blender. Purée until smooth.
Pour the purée into a saucepan and bring it to a boil over high heat. Don’t worry about the froth on top—it’ll cook off.
As soon as the sauce boils, turn down the heat to low and maintain a simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the foam subsides, the sauce should be a vibrant red color, and you shouldn’t be able to detect any raw vegetable smell. Taste and adjust for salt if necessary.
Transfer the sriracha to a jar (or three) and cool it. You can keep it in the fridge, covered, for up to a week. Behold: Paleo Sriracha!
PRO TIPS:
burning hands and stinging eyes not your idea of fun? Then be smart: use gloves when handling the peppers.
Also, if you prefer extra-fiery sriracha, leave in some of the jalapeños' ribs and seeds, and/or use hotter peppers (like serranos or even super-spicy Lumbre peppers).CINNAMON AND
