Resist the urge to be plain – especially when it comes to your breakfast. Variations and toppings are always welcome, and this gluten-free pancakes recipe takes the (pan)cake with the addition of dried and fresh cranberries and orange zest. Traditional maple syrup is a good fallback topping, but you might also love them smothered in almond butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Or, make a dessert of your cranberry pancakes and top them with whipped coconut cream. However you serve them, they’re a (flap)jackpot!

3 chia-flax eggs
1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond or cashew milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla

1/3 cup fresh cranberries
Orange zest
Pinch sea salt, optional

Directions

  1. In large bowl or blender, whip or blend “eggs,” milk and vanilla. Then add flour into the batter. Gently stir in cranberries and orange zest. Add pinches of salt or stevia, if desired.
  2. In griddle or skillet or medium-high heat, add coconut oil. Once heated, spoon desired batter amount into pan. Flip once edges begin to bubble.
