Ingredients
3 large eggs
1/3 cup almond milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup raisins
2 tbsp raw walnuts (optional)
1 large apple, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp water
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine chopped apples, water, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
Cover and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until softened.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and maple syrup.
Fold in the coconut flour, baking soda, and cinnamon until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Stir in the raisins and chopped walnuts.
Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Pour small portions of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the edges, then flip carefully.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Serve immediately topped with the warm spiced apple mixture.
Notes
Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to prevent the coconut oil from solidifying upon contact. Do not pack the coconut flour into your measuring cup, as it absorbs liquid aggressively; use a spoon to fill the cup and level it off. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
