Mother’s Day is the one day of the year where most of us stop, even if only briefly, to recognise the AMAZING job that Mothers do in this world.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure the word \u201cjob\u201d should actually be in flashing lights because it is a 24\/7, all\u00a0consuming lifetime commitment.<\/p>\n

I am extremely blessed to have an\u00a0incredible Mum.\u00a0 One who has always been there to guide and support me while also letting me learn from my own\u00a0mistakes.\u00a0 She taught me that I can do anything I set my mind on, to strive for my goals and dreams and, to this day she makes sure I know how proud she is of me.<\/p>\n

When I was a child she would put up with my individualism and stubborn, strong will which included constant demands for different fashion items that (she made herself and) were a one of that no-one else would ever have.<\/p>\n

She also had the patience of a saint when it came to my cooking.\u00a0 I remember her\u00a0teaching me many recipes as a young child, allowing me to make the typical childhood mess.\u00a0 And as a teenager, me taking over the kitchen and putting my own twist on what I\u2019d learnt to cook it for her and my family.\u00a0 Mostly successful, although I’m sure she was more than pleasantly surprised sometimes at how well things actually turned out.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately we live in different states now.\u00a0 So although my spirit will be with her on Mother’s Day I won\u2019t be making her a delicious breakfast like I may have done in years past.\u00a0 If I was with her I would make sure that she didn\u2019t lift a finger and had the best breakfast in bed.\u00a0 Freshly brewed coffee and healthy pancakes.\u00a0 What could be better!\u00a0 I wonder in my fur child can make these for me on Mother’s Day, LOL.<\/p>\n

What are you making your Mum for Mother\u2019s Day breakfast??<\/p>\n

(paleo) pancakes \u2013\u00a0makes 12 x 20cm pancakes (recipe by Fiona at Food 4 Thought).<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/span>
\n200g whole almonds (skin on)
\n1 – 2 tablespoons\u00a0honey (depending how sweet you like it)
\n2 tablespoons coconut oil
\n200g tapioca (arrowroot) flour
\n250g homemade almond milk
\n8\u00a0eggs
\n1 1\/2 teaspoons bicarb soda
\n3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
\n2 teaspoons\u00a0ground cinnamon
\npinch of salt<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/span>
\nPreheat a\u00a0small pan over a medium heat.<\/p>\n

Place almonds into TM bowl and\u00a0chop\u00a0for\u00a012 seconds <\/strong>on speed 8.\u00a0 <\/strong>Remove and set aside.<\/p>\n

Add coconut oil and honey to TM bowl and heat on 70\u00b0C<\/strong> for\u00a02 minutes<\/strong>\u00a0at speed 2 <\/strong>or until completely melted.\u00a0 Add all remaining ingredients along with reserved ground almonds.\u00a0 Mix for\u00a020 seconds <\/strong>on speed 4.\u00a0 <\/strong>Scrape\u00a0around\u00a0sides of bowl,\u00a0and mix for further\u00a020 seconds <\/strong>on speed 4, <\/strong>or until well combined.*\u00a0 Place a small amount of butter into the pan.\u00a0 Pour enough mixture into the pan to cover the base and cook until you see bubbles starting to form on the surface of the pancake.\u00a0 Flip over and cook on the other side until golden brown.\u00a0 Remove each pancake from the pan and keep warm until ready to serve.<\/p>\n

Serve with fresh fruit and maple syrup.<\/p>\n

My tips:<\/span> *This is quite a wet mixture, not thick like\u00a0some pancake batters.\u00a0 This makes it easier to pour and to cover the base of the pan.\u00a0 *Don’t be tempted to turn the heat up too high and cook them quickly.\u00a0 They will burn and not cook all the way through.\u00a0 Leave them on a medium heat and wait until you see the bubbles forming.\u00a0 *I found these really filling and only needed two for my breakfast.\u00a0 *Use any spice that you like in place of cinnamon.\u00a0 *These will keep in the fridge really well once cooked.\u00a0 They can also be frozen.<\/p>\n

ease: 8.5\/10.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Easy enough to do on Mother’s Day!
\nprep time:\u00a010 minutes<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>
\ncooking time:\u00a020 minutes\u00a0<\/strong>
\ntotal:\u00a030 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

taste: 8\/10<\/strong>\u00a0From G, given he isn’t strict paleo and loves traditional flour pancakes that is a\u00a0really good score!\u00a0 Personally I would say 9\/10\u00a0<\/strong>from me.\u00a0 I loved these.\u00a0 I felt they had so much more flavour than other pancakes I’ve eaten.<\/p>\n

would I make it again:\u00a0 Every weekend, <\/strong>if I had time \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
