Dr. James’s Grain-Free Pancakes

These are heavy-duty pancakes. You may want to eat one in the morning and save one for a snack a little later.

Makes two 5-inch pancakes (1 serving)

1/2 cup almond meal (aka almond flour)

2 eggs

1 to 2 Tablespoons ground flax (and/or chia seed)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 serving whey protein or your preference (James often uses brown rice protein)

Cooking oil spray

Fresh blueberries (small handful) (for the batter and/or to serve, optional)

1 Tablespoon Greek yogurt, jam, or pure maple syrup, to serve (optional)

In a medium bowl, stir or whisk all of the ingredients together until smooth. Ladle one pancake onto a medium-hot griddle lightly coated with cooking oil spray. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat for the second pancake.

Serve warm with a side of Greek yogurt, berries, jam, or just a smidgen of pure maple syrup.
