Instructions
To Make Mixes
- Open as many sandwich bags as you’ll need for making mixes. The recipe is for 1 bag, each bag serves 2 people.
- One ingredient at a time, measure each dry ingredient into each of the bags. I’ll do the almond flour first, in each bag, then the protein powder, etc - assembly line!
- Once all of the ingredients are measured into the bags, push all of the excess air out of a bag and seal it. Repeat with remaining bags.
- Store mix in a cool, dry, dark place until use.
- Should be used by the earliest expiry date of all the ingredients you use.
To Use Pancake Mix (Makes 6 Pancakes):
- Heat a large nonstick skillet, griddle, or other flat cooking surface over medium heat, spray with nonstick spray.
- Empty a bag of pancake mix into a small mixing bowl.
- Add milk, eggs, and oil - if using, use a fork to stir until well combined and smooth.
- Use a ¼ cup measure to pour batter out into 3 small pancakes. (You can do all 6 at once, if using a larger surface, like my Cuisinart Griddler.)
- Allow to cook until the underside is nicely golden brown, and small bubbles are breaking at the surface.
- Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown on the second side, and JUST cooked through.Note: Overcooking can lead to dry pancakes!
- If you only did the 3 pancakes to start, use the ¼ cup measure to pour the remaining batter into another 3 pancakes, repeat the cooking process.
- Serve the gingerbread pancakes with your favourite toppings - butter, maple syrup, sugar free syrup, whipped cream, etc - or just plain.
Notes
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple days, but these are definitely better when served fresh.
