Pancakes for PR's!

COCONUT BACON PANCAKES

Yes, coconut pancakes are delish, but they become awesome when you add BACON! I used bacon strips instead of breaking up the bacon, because you can make them into a "dipping" pancake, which means more maple syrup to bite ratio. Also, kids love using their hands to eat, so why not let them grab something healthy for breakfast! These pancakes are also yummy without the bacon, you can add in cacao nibs instead for something different!

 

Ingredients
6-8 Slices Natural Bacon (Free of nitrates and bad stuff if possible)
4 Eggs, Best if they are almost room temperature (Free-Range if possible)
1 Cup Good Coconut Milk
1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
1 Tablespoon Raw Honey
1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
Coconut Oil for Frying
Cinnamon to taste (Optional) 

Method
Cook your bacon prior to making the pancakes and set aside. I prefer oven-baking that way they are more flat than frying in a pan and sit better in the pancake.

1. In a bowl beat the eggs until they are frothy (they'll have little bubbles in them) and add in the liquid ingredients of coconut milk, vanilla and honey.
2. In another bowl combine the dry ingredients of coconut flour, baking soda and sea salt; ensure they are well combined. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until they are fully incorporated - there should be no lumps.
3. In a non-stick pan or on a griddle over medium-low heat add in the coconut oil. Ladle in an amount of batter that a strip of bacon will fit in, place a bacon strip in the centre and then zig zag a little batter over the bacon in order to hold it in. 
4. Cook pancake for a couple minutes until the bottom is slightly brown - the top of the batter should be slightly drying out. Flip the pancake and finish cooking it off.
5. Continue until you run out of batter or bacon!
6. Serve hot with real maple syrup, a dash of cinnamon (optional) and butter. If you want to do the "dipping" option, just fill a small bowl with good maple syrup and dunk away!
7. Then go lift and hit a PR!
