 Mini Cinnamon Pancake Bake

5/27/2016

2 Comments

 
   Hello there!

    I'm sharing a recipe today that was from Paleo Parents, who shared if from Julie Bauer's cookbook "Paleo Cookbook" So much sharing! 

    I like to do a syrup based breakfast for the kids on Saturday mornings - wait, what? You don't know what a "syrup based breakfast", is? Well, it's a food item that gives you an excuse to eat maple syrup!!! :)  I am truly Canadian.

   Anyway, making great paleo pancakes can be difficult, but I've made a few that I liked a lot (like these Chocolate Monkey Pancakes), but I was wanting to try something new, and also something I could make ahead.

    Well, I found this little dream of a recipe, and we loved it!

     I made the mini pancakes on Friday night (and wanted to eat them right then!), then I simply stuck 'em into an airtight container overnight, and got the rest whipped up in no time in the morning! 

    This is so good! If you make the mini pancakes and think "why can't I just eat these like this?". Well, you can if you want to! But, making them into a delightful little pancake bake just makes it seem more like a cozy bread pudding. It seems more filling and satisfying somehow. 

   I also changed the recipe slightly, and swapped out the coconut milk for applesauce in the mixture you make that gets poured over the mini pancakes before being baked. It made these a wonderful, apple cinnamon pancake bake!

    Anywho, it's the bees knees, and I think you should give it a whirl!

Mini Cinnamon Pancake Bake
From Paleo Parents, with some adjustments of my own


The Mini Pancakes

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 Cup coconut flour 
  • 1/2 Cup tapioca flour
  • 1 Tsp baking soda
  • 1 Tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch o' salt
  • 3 Large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 Cup almond or coconut milk
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tsp maple syrup or honey
  • Grease for the pan (ghee, coconut oil or butter)


Method:
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt
  2. In a small measureing cup, mix the milk with the tablespoon of acid (lemon juice or applecider vinegar) and allow to sit for a moment.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup or honey, then add in the milk mixture
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. and blend until nice and smooth
  5. Grease a large frying pan with your grease of choice, and place it over medium heat
  6. Scoop about 1 1/2 tbsp  (use a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop if you've got one-it'll make this easier!), pour the batter onto the warmed pan, cooking three or four pancakes at a time
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles begin to form in the batter, then flip and cook  the other side for another 2-3 minutes until the pancakes are fluffy and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside, then repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve the pancakes topped with maple syrup. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two days or in the freezer for one week and thaw them before reheating in the pan......or, make 'em into the lovely mini pancake bake! 


The Mini Cinnamon Pancake Bake

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp grease for the baking pan (ghee, coconut oil or butter)
  • 1 batch Mini Cinnamon Pancakes
  • 1  Cup unsweetened applesauce (you can also use 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, as the original recipe has)
  • 3 Large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 Tsp cinnamon

For the topping:

  • 1/4 Cup ghee, coconut oil or butter, softened
  • 2 Tbsp maple sugar (the delicious granulated maple sugar)
  • 1 Tsp  Cinnamon
  • ​Maple syrup


Instructions
  1. Grease a an  8x8-inch baking dish or 9x5-inch small loaf pan with your choice of grease, and  stand the pancakes up in rows in the pant (as shown in the photo below)
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  3. Whisk together the applesauce, eggs and cinnamon, and pour the mixture over the pancakes, then press the pancakes down into the mixture to help them soak up the liquid
  4. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the egg mixture has completely set in the middle and it doesn't look "wiggly" anymore
  5. ***While the pancake mixture is baking, make the topping***
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the ghee, coconut oil, or butter - whichever you have chosen, with the maple sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Use a knife or spoon to spread the topping mixture on top of the pancake bake when it comes out of the oven. If the pancake bake is still nice and warm, the topping mixture will melt. If it doesn't melt, place the pan back in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes until the topping mixture has melted.
  8. Serve with fruit, fruit syrups, coconut whipped cream, or maple syrup....um, or all of the items mentioned :)

    I have a very (VERY!) wiggly 6 year old on my lap while I'm writing this and when she saw the pictures she said, "Oooooohhhh! I looooove these french toasts!!!" : )

    So, I think that sums this up nicely!

    Have a wonderful weekend!

I made this for a Sunday morning brunch, and it was a hit! I was the only one in the group who eats Paleo, but there were a few gluten-free people, and a few who have no dietary restrictions, and everyone enjoyed it! So, thanks for sharing!
