Healthy Pancake Parfait
Who doesn’t love pancakes? Best. Breakfast. Ever! I’m not going to lie, there were times when I was younger that I would eat them for like a week straight. My mom can attest to this. Pancake binges y’all!
When you’re trying to keep it healthy it’s definitely a tough cake to make taste good and fluffy. Now, you could use some of those Paleo and gluten free mixes out there and get a decent result, but I typically notice an after taste in those, or don’t really care for some of the added ingredients in them.
I just needed to make my own damn healthy pancakes if it killed me. After much experimentation with different flour combos, I have done it. And since I love my husband so darn much and his favorite way to eat pancakes is parfait style, I dedicate this recipe to him. He also may have earned it because he ate pancake after pancake until the recipe was right.
Healthy Pancake Parfait
Ingredients
- ¾ cup oat flour
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 + ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 + ¼ cups almond milk, or milk of choice
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (about 1/2 of a lemon)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Dairy-free vanilla yogurt
- Berries of choice – strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries are my fav
- Toasted coconut or granola, optional, but adds a nice crunchy element
Instructions
- In a medium bowl sift in flours, baking powder, salt, and sweetener.
- Add in the milk, egg, and lemon juice. Mix until combined, but do not over mix.
- Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to thicken.
- Heat coconut oil in the pan or griddle over medium-high until hot but not smoking.
- Use about ¼ cup batter for each pancake, cook 2-3 minutes until it starts bubbling then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
- Top pancake with about 2-3 tablespoons of yogurt and top with berries. Repeat with as many pancakes as you’d like. Add some toasted coconut or granola if desired.
