Wheat Free Apple Cinnamon Pancakes



I seriously need a hearty breakfast to get me through the morning...or at least until 10 AM when I'm starving again. These healthy and hearty pancakes do the trick. They contain protein, good fat (from the almond flour), whole grains and fruit - everything you need for a proper breakfast!

Ingredients:
yields 6 small pancakes

1 cup egg whites
1/4 cup almond flour
2/3 cup whole rolled oats
2 small organic apples, grated
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
Coconut oil for the pan
Maple Syrup for drizzling

Instructions:

1. Heat your frying pan on medium heat.
2. Grate your apples. I did this by just rotating the apple on the box grater until I got close to the core. Once your apples are grated, squeeze 80% of the juice out of the apple before adding to a bowl. You can drink the apple juice if you want!
2. Mix all of the ingredients above into a bowl, except for the coconut oil and maple syrup.
3. Add about a tsp of coconut oil to your pan, let it melt, then drop your pancakes into the pan.
4. Cook each side for approximately 3 minutes until golden brown like the below picture.
5. Serve with maple syrup and butter if you like. You don't need much syrup, the apples provide a nice level of sweetness.
