Christmas Morning Pancakes

I’ve been trying the last few years to find or create THE recipe that will be part of our Christmas morning for years to come. This year, I finally figured it out . . . and it’s a good one. I was searching around for a good egg-free pancake recipe. The kind that melt in your mouth, but are oh-so fluffy.

These are IT, guys.

I took the photo with my phone because I’m still in the stage of needing to eat ASAP or I’ll get sick. But progress, right?! Recipes = progress . . . .

CHRISTMAS MORNING KEFIR PANCAKES

Based on this Egg-Free Buttermilk Pancakes recipe.

What you’ll need . . . 

• 2 cups flour (I used a mix of all purpose and wheat pastry)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder 
• 1 teaspoon baking soda 
• Pinch salt
• 2 cups kefir 
• 2 tablespoons coconut milk (or water)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 cup frozen or fresh berries, rinsed well*
• Mini chocolate chips (optional)

* I used a frozen berry mix with blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

Method . . . 

1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Then add the kefir, coconut milk, and oil.
3. Mix until everything is moistened, but it can still be lumpy. Don’t over-mix.
4. After you rinse your berries (until the water runs clear for the frozen ones!) pat them dry with a tea towel or paper towel. Then gently fold them into the batter.
5. Cook heaping half cups on medium-high (or so) heat until golden on both sides. Before you flip, sprinkle the mini chocolate chips onto the uncooked side. 
6. Serve with pure maple syrup.
