The Hemsley sisters coconut flour blueberry pancakes

My favourite place to eat in London is definitely the Hemsley + Hemsley cafe at Selfridges. Weird to visit Selfridges only to eat at this place but seriously this food is exactly what I want to it. Unfortunately for me I do not live in London (for now) so I am lucky enough to have their epic cookbooks which I highly recommend. These books Good & Simple and The Art of Eating Well really are my favourite! Why? All recipes are naturally gluten-free, call for minimal amounts of sugars (maple syrup or honey) which I usually omit, and they have wonderful healthy twists on amazing dishes. 

One of my favourite recipes are these protein packed blueberry pancakes that I have had at the cafe as well as made myself and LOVE! I highly recommend them as a breakfast and if you have a kiddy they will love them too. You can easily pack them too and take with you. 

I propose serving them with my favourite tahini cream, nuts, coconut flakes and cacao nibs!

If you are on a quitting sugar protocol omit the maple syrup!

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons of warm water or nut milk
• 2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil or ghee, melted
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons of coconut flour
• 10 drops of stevia or stevia granules. click here for the best one  and it will last you for at least one year so it is worth it. 
• 1 tiny sprinkle of salt
• ¼ teaspoon of baking powder
• ½ teaspoon or more of cinnamon

Method

• Wash the blueberries and allow them to dry.
• Melt the coconut oil or butter, on a low heat
• Meanwhile, beat the eggs, stevia vanilla and salt in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
• Sift in the coconut flour and bicarbonate of soda and blend with the melted coconut oil to make a batter.
• Add water a tablespoon at a time to get the right consistency. It will NOT be runny at all, you need it thick. Let sit for 5 minutes before cooking
• Use a spatula to redistribute any leftover coconut oil in the frying pan and on a medium heat add 2 tablespoons of the batter. Push 5 blueberries into the centre of the pancake and the blueberries will spread slowly as it cooks.
• When bubbles form on top of the pancakes check if you can loosen them easily and carefully turn it over – it may need a little longer.
• After another minute or so the pancake is cooked and ready to serve.
• drizzle with tahini cream, or almond butter and caca nibs and activated nuts!
