Approximately 0 Sugar Calories without Chocolate

Pancake Ingredients
  • 4 Eggs - 2 Whole Eggs & 2 Egg Whites
  • 1 Cup - Unsweetened Coconut Milk
  • 1/2 Cup - Coconut Flour
  • 1 Tbs - Stevia in the Raw
  • 1 Tsp - Baking Soda
  • 2 Tbs - Flaxseed Pureed
  • 4 Tbs - Unsweetened Sunflower Spread or Unsweetened Peanut Butter
Whipped Topping Ingredients
  • 1 Cup - Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 Tbs - Unsweetened Sunflower Spread or Unsweetened Peanut Butter
  • 1 Tsp - Stevia in the Raw 
Sunbutter Glaze Ingredients
  • 1 Tbs - Unsweetened Sunflower Spread
  • About 3 Tbs - Heavy Whipping Cream
Other Ingredients
  • 2 Squares - Lindt Chocolate 90% Cocoa refrigerated (24 Sugar Calories)
  • Coconut Oil Spray

Directions for Pancakes
  1. Whisk together dry ingredients. 
  2. Add the remaining ingredients. Whisk together until well combined. Let sit for a few minutes so the batter can thicken. 
  3. Spray pan with coconut oil. Heat pan to medium low. Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop batter onto pan to create a pancake 3" in diameter.
  4. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Let cool, then top with glaze, whipped topping, then melted chocolate. 
Directions for Glaze
  1. Place sunbutter in a microwaveable bowl.
  2. Heat for 45 seconds or until soft
  3. Then mix whipping cream until sunbutter becomes a little runny so it can be drizzled onto each pancake. 
Directions for Whip Cream
  1. Put all ingredients into a medium size bowl. 
  2. Using a handheld mixer; on medium setting, mix together until milk becomes thick... it takes a long time. 
Directions for Chocolate
  1. Place chocolate into piping bag or sandwich bag.
  2. Heat for about 90 seconds or until chocolate has melted. I keep my chocolate in refrigerator. 
  3. Snip the corner or end. 
  4. Drizzle over whipped topping. 
Note: The pancakes will be green after cooked because the sunbutter is reacting to the baking soda. Great for St. Patty's Day! :-) 


Enjoy!

  2. Whisk together dry ingredients
  3. Add eggs, butter, milk, & vanilla extract. Whisk till well combined. Let sit for a few to let the batter thicken.
  4. Using a fork add dried cherries and chopped pecans. Batter will be thick. 
  5. Place parchment paper on large cookie sheet. Make a 2" size ball and place onto parchment paper. Use a fork to flatten because the batter will not flatten on it's own. 
  6. Bake for 22 minutes

Note: The cookies are crispy on the bottom the first day. After that they become soft like the rest of the cookies.
