I love making pancakes with a pecan base. I find that they generally hold together better than using just coconut flour plus the pecans give them a nice flavor.

These pancakes are extra awesome because you can make them all in the blender for added ease.
Like many grain-free pancakes, these remain more moist than traditional flour pancakes which you may find you enjoy more. 

For some flavor variety feel free to sub out the applesauce for 1 ripe banana.

INGREDIENTS

Pancakes

• 1 cup pecans
• 1 cup applesauce
• 4 eggs
• 2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted 
• 4 Tbsp coconut flour
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp baking soda

Cinnamon Apples

• 2 Tbsp coconut oil
• 4 honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored and cubed
• 2 Tbsp honey
• 1 tsp cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat a large griddle for 275 degrees.
2. In a powerful blender, process the pecans for about 10 seconds or until they are fine and crumbly. Add the remaining ingredients to the blender and mix until combined and smooth.
3. Pour the batter into 3-inch circles, making 6 equal pancakes.
4. Cook for about 7 minutes on the first side or until pancakes are solid enough to flip with a spatula. Cook an additional 3 minutes on the second side. Repeat for the remaining batter.
5. Serve hot and garnish with warm honey, pure maple syrup, chopped nuts or fresh fruit. 
6. For the Cinnamon Apples, melt the oil in a medium-sized pan over medium-high heat. Add in the apples, honey and cinnamon. Saute for 5 minutes or until the apples are cooked to desired tenderness.

• Makes 12-3 inch pancakes.
