I was looking forward to making pancakes all week. I have been waiting to try out my new flour mixture, and I was so excited to finally test it out. I was also super pumped to food prep all weekend.
I put off going to the grocery store all weekend, although knowing it was supposed to snow Saturday night. I assumed the forecast would again be flawed and I would wake up to a dusting of snow. Boy, was I wrong.
By the time I woke up, there was already about 6 inches of snow on the ground. And it just kept snowing. Like literally, all day.
Luckily, it didn't amount to much more, and I convinced Marc to clean off the cars so we could venture out in this mess and get groceries!
We made it to the store and back home, with no accidents and a trunk full of groceries, new Tupperware, and a veggeti (makes veggie noddles)! Oh, the little things!
After prepping some delicious Italian meatballs, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potato mash- all thanks to Stupid Easy Paleo, I took on my next challenge: Blueberry Lemon Pancakes!
Normally, this wouldn't be a challenge at all, but I despise working with coconut flour. I swear, I can never get the consistency right, and my batter always coagulates before going onto the griddle. Ugh!
After being completely unsatisfied with my first batch of batter, dropping the entire bowl on the floor, and my griddle going ca-poot, I was not a happy camper.
But I started over, from step one, and adjusted my wet ingredients a tad. Adding a couple more eggs and a splash of milk.
My batter still is by no means perfect, but the final product did get a two thumbs up from Marc! (Although, he may be slightly biased, and love everything)
I topped these Blueberry Lemon Pancakes with a Blueberry Maple Syrup sauce...heavenly. It is the perfect addition to this cake!
Blueberry Maple Sauce:
2 ingredients, one simple step.
1/2 C frozen blueberries
1/4 C pure maple syrup
Combine both ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat. When syrup starts to bubble, reduce heat. Mash blueberries into sauce. Serve hot.
Enjoy!
Oink, oink! Haylea.
