Almond Meal Pancakes

Almond Meal Pancakes

Ingredients

1 cup

2 eggs

1/4 cup water (for puffier pancakes, you can use sparkling water)

2 T coconut oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

½  tsp stevia

Directions

1. Mix ingredients together and cook as you would other pancakes.

2. I like to use a nonstick pan with a little oil. The only real difference is that they won’t “bubble” on top the same way as regular pancakes.

3. Flip them when the underside is brown.

4. Serve with mixed berries and organic yogurt.
