You'll Thank Me Later (blueberry coconut pancakes)

My husband just got home from a week long business trip.  I'm shocked by the fact that I really did survive.  I think I got like 10 hours of sleep last week, total, and my eyelids are propped open with toothpicks this morning, but I'm alive.  So in celebration of my grand accomplishment, I made myself pancakes this morning.  Seriously, GO ME!


*Oh, and um, Jenny's birthday is on Saturday.  She's going to be 28.  She thinks she's old.  And to that I say "bahhhh."

Blueberry Coconut Pancakes


1 cup 100% whole wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons sea salt
2 tablespoons coconut shreds
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg or egg replacer
1 cup almond milk (vanilla or regular)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 - 1 cup blueberries


Mix wet ingredients in a medium bowl.  Mix dry ingredients in a larger bowl.  Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix well until consistency is smooth.


Pour a scoop of batter (1/4 cup at a time) onto preheated pan at medium heat.  Sprinkle fresh blueberries on top.  Flip over when batter begins to bubble.


You don't even need syrup.  Just throw a few extra blueberries on top and serve with a side of sliced bananas or kiwi.


*I've only made these once but next time just for the sake of omegas, I think I'll add some ground up flax seed or chia seed.

Is whole wheat pastry flour the same as whole wheat flour? Can I grind my wheat berries into flour and use it?

hey there,
was thinking of the two of you when I found this link for Babycakes NYC - gluten free, sugar free, additive free baking, plus they have a cookbook that might be great for making sweet treats for your kids :)
