So put your chef hat on and surprise mom with this healthy breakfast meal.

Ingredients

1 egg

1 tbsp coconut flour

1 tsp sweetener (honey, stevia equivalent, coco sugar, brown sugar or Muscovado)

1/8 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp vinegar (add and mix before cooking)

Coconut oil

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg until frothy. Add flour, sweetener, salt, and baking soda. Mix until well blended.
2. Add the vinegar into the mixture right before cooking. The chemical reaction of vinegar to the baking soda in the mixture will make the pancakes fluffy.
3. Preheat pan and coat with a little bit of oil. Scoop 1 tablespoon of batter into the pan to form 2" mini pancakes. Let pancakes cook until bubbles form before flipping.
4. Cook other side until golden brown.
5. Serve with butter and syrup (maple, coco nectar, honey) or serve with fruits like banana, orange and berries
6. Eat with peanut butter or nut butter of choice.
7. Enjoy!
