1 small sweet potato
3/4 cup raw almond butter
2 eggs
1/4 c water
1/2 very ripe banana
1. Cook sweet potato (I peeled and diced mine then boiled it until knife tender).
2. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until thoroughly combined.
3. Cook on skillet over medium heat. (Flip pancakes when batter begins to darken).
Gravy
2 egg yolks
1/2 c cream
1 c steamed cauliflower
1/2 tsp salt
generous amount of fresh ground pepper (tsp? maybe…I just added enough for my liking)
1/2 lb sausage, cooked
1. Whisk yolks and cream together in a small sauce pan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture can coat the back of a spoon fairly thickly.
2. Pour into blender and add cauliflower and salt. Blend on high until thoroughly combine.
3. Return gravy to saucepan and add sausage.
4. Season with pepper to taste (typical country gravy has a decent amount of gravy).
5. Cook over medium heat until hot.
6. Serve over biscuits.
**I use 1/2 lb sausage and this makes quite a “meaty” gravy. I prefer it that way, plus it ups the protein content a little.
Biscuits (adapted from Elana’s recipe in her Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook)
2 tbsp grapeseed oil
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp vinegar
1/2 tbsp water
1 egg
1 1/4 c almond flour
1/2 scant tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1. Whisk together oil, honey, vinegar, egg and water.
2. Add almond flour, salt and soda. Mix well.
3. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop batter onto pan. Slightly flatten with palm of hand.
4. Bake at 350 for 15 min or until edges start to turn light brown.
Yield: 6
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tbsp honey
pinch of salt
3/4 c coconut milk
Mix cocoa, honey, salt and 2 tbsp coconut milk (you might add some coconut cream to make it richer) together until thoroughly mixed. Add remaining coconut milk and pour into sauce pan. Cook over medium/low heat until steaming. (Or microwave.)
Serves 2
3 eggs
1/4 c grape seed oil
1/4 c honey
1 tbsp vanilla
2 tbsp vinegar
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 c almond flour
2 c diced strawberries
1. In a large bowl whisk eggs.
2. Add oil, honey, vanilla, salt and soda. Whisk well.
3. Add vinegar, mix, and allow to sit for a couple of minutes (this will help activate the baking soda).
4. Stir in almond flour.
5. Fold in strawberries.
6. Place heaping tablespoons into a lined muffin tin.
7. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
*** Alternate version***
Keep everything the same except use only 3 tbsp honey and add 2 tbsp coconut flour. This makes a denser, less moist muffin.
1 can coconut milk
1/2 c almond flour
1/3 c shredded coconut
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of sea salt (optional)
1 tbsp vanilla
5 eggs
Coconut oil
Whisk together all ingredients in a large bowl. Add a little coconut oil to a skillet and cook over medium heat.
**This makes a lot, so I usually save some batter and put it in the fridge.
8 eggs
1/4 onion, diced
1 small zucchini, sliced into moons
Few ounces of cream cheese
1. Sauté onion in a little oil until just starting to turn golden.
2. Toss in zucchini and cook for 3-4 minutes.
3. Add eggs and scramble.
4. When eggs are almost done and in cream cheese.
5. Give it a good stir and then serve! (Season with salt/pepper if desired.)
1 pound ground breakfast sausage or other ground meat
3 turnips, peeled and grated (a food processor works well for this)
4 eggs, beaten
3 scallions, chopped
Instructions: Sauté sausage, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon or spatula, until almost cooked through. Mix the sausage with the rest of the ingredients. Spoon into a 8×8 baking pan. When ready to cook, heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for 45 minutes then cover the pan and bake for 25 minutes more. Let cool 15-20 minutes so the casserole sets before cutting into it.
