Servings: 4
Calories: 440

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Almond butter (runny)
  • 1/3 cup Maple syrup (organic, divided)
  • 3 tsp Cinnamon (divided)
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Oat flour
  • 3 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the almond butter, half the maple syrup, and 3/4 of the cinnamon. Transfer to a plastic squeeze bottle or a plastic bag with the tip snipped for piping.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, vanilla, and the remaining maple syrup. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining cinnamon. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Some lumps are ok.
  3. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease the pan. Scoop approximately 1/3 of a cup of batter at a time into the pan. Squeeze the almond butter mixture into the pancake batter in a spiral. Once bubbles form, flip the pancake and cook for another one to two minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  4. Divide the pancakes evenly onto plates and enjoy!

Notes

This will become your family's favorite breakfast.  Make them as a family to increase the enjoyment!  Top with maple syrup, fresh berries, or diced apples for greater variety.  Perhaps dust with a light layer of powdered sugar and strawberries - yum!
You can refrigerate leftovers (if there are any!) in an airtight container for up to 3 days.  They can also be frozen to make them last longer and reheated in a pan or toaster.
However, you serve these, they will be a big hit!
