Paleo Pancakes and Waffles

Paleo Coconut Flour Pancakes and Waffles. These are delicious! Teresa and I tweaked the recipe a bit. We also double the recipe so we can have some leftovers. The base recipe is from www.primal-palate.com

INGREDIENTS:
-1/2 cup coconut flour
-8 eggs
-2 tbsp coconut milk
-1/2 tsp cinnamon
-1/2 tsp nutmeg
-1/2 baking soda
-2 tsp agave nectar
-1 tbsp of almond or coconut oil

PANCAKES:
1. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine all ingredients with a whisk or hand mixer.
2. Heat a small amount of coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan or griddle to medium heat.
3. Pour 1/8 cup of batter into the pan or griddle.
4. Cook for 2 minutes, flip, cook for 2 more minutes and repeat with the rest of the batter.

WAFFLES:
1. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine all ingredients with a whisk or hand mixer.
2. Heat a waffle iron to medium to medium/high heat.
3. Pour 1/8 cup of batter into center of the waffle iron.
4. Waffles are done when they easily separate from the waffle iron, typically 3-5 minutes.

One waffle or one pancake is approximately 1 block of protein and 1/2 block of carbohydrates.
