My New Year’s Day tradition is making blinis with caviar to welcome in the new year. It took many attempts to find the right combo of ingredients and batter consistency for these gluten and grain-free pancakes, but these savory little pancakes are perfection!
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/4 cup almond milk
1 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup almond flour
1/8 tsp salt
2 tbsp coconut oil for the pan
Directions:
Mix all ingredients for batter in a bowl and blend well until a smooth batter forms.
Heat a pan on medium heat. Melt 1/2 tbsp coconut oil in the pan, swirling it around to ensure the whole pan is coated.
Pour a spoonful size of the batter into the pan leaving about an inch between pancakes.
Cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
This amount yields about 25 mini pancakes.
