Blueberry Pancakes With Coconut Flour

I got some coconut flour to review. I've had problems replacing all recipes with it. Some food just turn out too dense. I love that when I use it, less sweetener is needed for the foods to taste good. Coconut has natural sweetener in it. What to do to make foods less dense? I just use part all purpose or whole wheat flour and the other part coconut flour. This works great! 1 Organic Coconut Flour - 2.2 lbs.


This morning I made Blueberry Pancakes. A basic recipe of Crepes worked great. Than I added my own modifications. *Remember Coconut Flour makes recipes more dense.

In a bowl combine 2 beaten eggs, 1 1/2 cups almond milk, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup coconut flour, 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well! Then I spooned it onto a cooking platter and plopped in some blueberries. My kids and I loved them! I always add blueberries separate from the batter because my husband likes his pancakes plain. He liked his to! 32-oz. - Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil - 1 quart



If you order either of the things above, through the links provided you can get a free coconut oil recipe book with your order!

Blueberry Banana Tofu Smoothies

Maybe it's bad, but I didn't tell my husband that Tofu was in his smoothie until he tried it. He doesn't usually like tofu. This time he liked it, so I told him. I wanted something that had a lot of good things in it because our son Isaak has been on a feeding, drinking strike. He's had a slight fever for two days and has been pretty moody.

Ingredients:
 
 
**I thought about adding probiotics to Isaak's smoothie since he's been under the weather. I didn't because he hasn't been drinking much. I thought that he may not finish his. As it turns out, he didn't finish it. I'm going to add that usually Isaak's a good eater. He really just doesn't feel good.

Preparation:

  • Drain the soft tofu to remove excess water.
  • You can use fresh fruit, but it will make the smoothie more runny.
  • Blend the banana, tofu and milk for 30 seconds. 
  • Add the frozen blueberries, honey and ice cubes and process until smooth. 
Enjoy!
