Key ingredients

This recipe combines a powerful mix of ingredients that not only taste great, but also deliver a host of health benefits:

  • Paleo flour: A gluten-free flour blend typically made from almond, coconut or cassava flour. It’s rich in healthy fats, fiber and protein, making it an excellent substitute for conventional wheat flour while supporting blood sugar balance and digestive health.
  • Eggs: A complete protein source, eggs provide essential nutrients like choline, vitamin B12 and selenium. They help bind the ingredients together and contribute to a fluffy texture in the pancakes.
  • Coconut milk: A dairy-free alternative that adds creaminess and healthy fats to the batter. Coconut milk is rich in medium-chain triglycerides, which are quickly metabolized for energy and support brain function.
  • Pumpkin puree: Loaded with beta-carotene, fiber and antioxidants, pumpkin puree gives these pancakes a rich, earthy flavor while boosting their nutritional profile. It’s also a great source of vitamin A and potassium.
  • Blueberries: These tiny berries are a powerhouse of antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which support heart health, cognitive function and inflammation reduction. They also add natural sweetness and a burst of color.
  • Cinnamon: More than just a warm spice, cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar levels and adds depth to the flavor profile. It also has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Vanilla extract: Enhances the flavor with its natural sweetness and aromatic qualities. Vanilla is also known for its antioxidant properties.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the Paleo flour to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined and a thick batter forms.

Cook for three to four minutes on one side or until bubbles form and the edges begin to firm. Flip, and cook an additional two to three minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve warm, optionally topped with extra blueberries, a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of coconut yogurt.
