Vanilla Pancakes

 
We have made these pancakes with slight modifications twice this fall, and each time they came out great. A few things we took note of for those struggling with this recipe…
 
1. Coconut flour tends to be dry. That is why the use of so many eggs is needed. They are not conventional pancakes, they aren’t going to have the same consistency of conventional pancakes.
 
2. It helps to cook them in a non stick frying pan. We have made them in a cast iron, but it really helps to use the non stick. Our favorite non stick frying pan is non toxic by Healthy Earth. It is wonderful and we actually got it for an awesome price at Marshalls.
 
3. Use lots of butter or coconut oil to cook them. This makes them super yummy as well as help with the cooking.
 
We really enjoyed these pancakes. They are a nice grain free treat breakfast to have every once in a while.
 
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • A pinch of salt
 
Process:
  1. In a medium sized mixing bowl, blend eggs, vanilla, water, salt, and baking soda with a hand mixer.
  2. Pour coconut flour into mixture and continue to blend until batter is smooth.
  3. In a non stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon grass fed butter over medium heat.
  4. Pour batter into skillet using a large soup spoon.
  5. Let pancakes cook for 1-2 minutes, flip, and cook for a remaining 1-2 minutes. Pancakes will be ready to flip with the batter is firms up slightly. If the pancakes are still too runny, allow them to cook a bit longer before flipping.
  6. Serve with your choice of topping.

Passion

Passion

by | Feb 20, 2012 | Athlete Of The Month


Passion..(1) any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling as love or hate (2) strong amorous feeling or desire; love; ardor (3) strong sexual desire; lust (4) an instance or experience of strong love or sexual desire (5) A person toward whom one feels strong love or sexual desire.

When most think about passion, something like this comes to mind:

Yes, this is passion but what is YOUR passion; above is just a definition. If you are getting through the day by just going through the movements then you don’t have passion. If your actions occur just because it is part of a routine, then you don’t have passion.

My passion for helping people create the life they desire, “helps me to inspire to move people to the next level”. On a personal level, passion makes me “violently want to pursue her vision and dreams as an assassin would”. What does your “passion” do for you? Do you have passion in your work or do you have J.O.B (Just Over Broke)?
