PB pancakes

Giving full credit to http://www.sprint2thetable.com/2011/09/pbj-pancakes-gluten-free-and-vegan/ for this amazing recipe. As it is the policy here, I'm putting in her recipe in case, you know, the Internet ever goes away or something. OMG these are good!


PB Pancakes
1 T ground flax
1 T + 1 tsp water
1/4 C peanut flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla
3 T unsweetened almond milk (or other liquid)
Note: I used soy. I would have used almond if I had it.
10 drops NuNaturals Pure Liquid Vanilla Stevia
Note: I used a little Xylitol. I didn't measure, but I would guess 1 tablespoon? I'm thinking, next time, I might mix in some maple pancake syrup. We'll see. Maybe I'll try stevia. I like Stevia in my oatmeal and in my tea, but I haven't liked cooking with it, but perhaps it'll be okay with PB. I dislike stevia with chocolate!

Mix together ground flax and water. Set aside for 2-3 mins, allowing the mix to gel into a flax “egg.”

In small bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Add liquids and flax egg, stirring until just combined.

Spoon on to warm pan (med-high heat), forming 1-2 pancakes. Flip half way through… you guys know how to make pancakes.
Note: This was the thickest pancake batter I've EVER seen. I added some extra soy milk, but I didn't measure. I probably did 1-2 more tablespoons. It was still too thick to pour so I spooned some in the pan and then when I flipped the pancake, I smushed it with my spatula. I had to flip it again so that the first side was down twice, but it all worked out. I did not see any pancake bubbles. WAY too thick for that.

Sprint to the table made a jam for her pancakes...

For the Jam:
1/3 C fresh raspberries
5-6 drops NuNaturals Pure Liquid Vanilla Stevia


Meanwhile, place the berries and stevia in a small bowl. Place in mocriwave ~45 seconds. Remove and stir.

Plate pancakes and top with “jam.” Enjoy!

Notes: Any flour should work here. You can also use a regular egg or 2 egg whites in place of the flax egg.

Makes 1-2 pancakes.


Note: I got 3 pancakes 'cause the batter was so thick. I didn't want to make them huge.
I tried some blueberries on them, but I kind of just liked them without a topping. twoK tried a couple of bites and thought they were pretty good with maple syrup. I'm also thinking about some chocolate chips in these........(then I definitely won't use stevia...oooohh.... one could use banana for sweetness. PB, chocolate, and banana are my favorites!)
