SCD Apple Pancakes

Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) leans hard on eggs. Eggs are great, but not everyone can eat them, let alone every day in quantity for breakfast. Here’s an option that minimizes the daily eggs-for-breakfast habit while giving some helpful SCD-legal carbohydrates too. Plus, who doesn’t love pancakes? Enjoy plain or drop in fruits as your child’s progression in the SCD stages allows. Or, top with soft cooked diced apples! If egg is an issue, double the applesauce and omit the egg entirely. Pancakes will be more dense but still work.

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons applesauce homemade per SCD or storebought SCD legal
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 Tablespoons coconut milk whole, from can (without gums for SCD legal)
• 1 egg
• 1 Tablespoon coconut flour
• 3 Tablespoons almond flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• ghee or coconut oil for skillet

Servings: 3-4" pancakes

Instructions

1. Mix the wet ingredients (first five ingredients - applesauce, honey, vanilla, coconut milk, and egg) evenly in a bowl.
2. Mix dry ingredients evenly in a separate bowl (the flours, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon).
3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients by adding the dry to the wet. Stir to mix evenly.
4. Melt ghee or coconut oil in skillet and heat on medium heat. Drop generous spoonfuls of batter onto skillet once the fat is hot/melted. Skillet should be hot enough so batter quickly sets, but doesn't burn. After a few moments, slide a spatula under the pancakes to make sure they aren't sticking. If they are, add a bit more ghee or coconut oil and let it flow under and around pancakes.
5. If you like, this is when to add fruit: Drop blueberries, raspberries, or thin banana slices into the pancake as it starts cooking.
6. Cook til bubbles just appear in the pancakes. Flip the pancakes to cook other side. Cook for about a minute or two, then remove from skillet. If there is enough fat/oil in skillet, they will cook without sticking. Add more if need be, and lift edges of pancakes with skillet to allow fat/oil to flow under them so they won't stick.
