Brown Rice Flour Chocolate Pancakes

I recently discovered that there is such a thing as brown rice flour, so now I'm excited to start making cookies and pancakes that work with my diet!

These were super good; I've been craving chocolate, coconut, and pancakes, so this fulfilled all three cravings at once!

Note: If you don't want them to be chocolatey, don't add the cacao powder or cacao nibs. The pancakes in the photo were actually made without cacao powder; they turn out dark brown if you add that in.


Recipe:

(Creates 2 Servings) 

3 Large Eggs

½ Cup Almond Milk

1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil

1 Cup Brown Rice Flour

¼ Cup Salted Almonds

¼ Cup Raw Unsweetened Cacao Nibs

1 Tablespoon Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
2 1/2 Tablespoons Raw Unsweetened Cacao Powder

1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

1 Tablespoon Xylitol

1 Teaspoon Salt

Directions:

Beat the eggs, milk, oil, cacao powder, and flour in a bowl until there are no lumps of flour. Then mix in almonds, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, cinnamon, xylitol, and salt. 

Grease a large pan with butter and coconut oil (or just butter). Use 2 large spoonfuls of the mixture for each pancake. When small bubbles start to appear in the middle and the edges seem to be kind of hardened, flip the pancakes over and brown on the other side. 

Serve with a cup of almond milk, and sprinkle salt, xylitol, and cinnamon onto each individual pancake. 

Cheater additions: I filled 1/3 of my cup with organic cow milk, and 2/3 with almond milk. I also couldn't help but put a few drops of maple flavored agave sweetener on each pancake, which tasted magically amazing. But if you want to follow the diet super strictly, don't do that, haha. However, if you don't mind cheating, I'd recommend putting blueberries into the pancake mixture as well.
