  Need a pancake recipe for this weekend?
  
  Banana Almond Pancakes
  
  Do you like banana pancakes? Almonds?
  
  Try this pancake recipe that combines the two.
  
  Ingredients
  - 2 cups almond meal (Find this at Trader Joe’s for dirt cheap, Whole Foods for super expensive, or make your own by grinding almonds down in your food processor until it is powdery like flour.)
  - 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  - 1 tsp cinnamon
  - 1 tsp baking powder
  - 1/2 tsp salt
  - 2 ripe bananas (A great way to sweeten recipes. Keep those brown bananas!)
  - 4 eggs
  - 2-3 Tbsp honey
  - 1/2 cup almond milk
  - coconut oil for cooking
  Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt
  2. In a separate bowl, mash the banana, then whisk in the eggs, honey, and milk.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients, but do not over do it. Just until combined, okay?
  4. Heat your pan to medium-low heat, and melt your coconut oil on it.
  5. Spoon your batter into 2-3 inch circles, and cook until the edges lift.
  6. Flip, and cook.
  7. Serve with syrup, peanut butter or yogurt.
  We did all-fruit jelly for a change of pace….no corn syrupy jelly, okay?

- Flourless Carrot Cake Bars

  Is it carrot cake? A cookie? A granola bar? Unsure, but good anyhow.
  
  I love carrot cake, minus the raisins. Love raisins, just not in my cakes, cookies, or any other baked goods. They just do not belong there. Kind of like walnuts do not belong in brownies. Love walnuts, but just don’t mess up a moist brownie with a nut. Just my opinion.
  
  My daughter was freaking out when she saw this pressed into the pan. She said: “Aren’t you going to chop the carrots more???”
  
  Me: “No sweetie, I am not. You will survive…”
  
  End result? Of all the My Foodie Call family members, I think she actually ate the most of these. Probably should add more carrot next time.

  When I get tapped out of breakfast ideas for the kids, I get the creative juices flowing and take a peek in the cupboard. I had some almond meal from Trader Joes that I was almost gone so I figured I would make some sort of baked good with that. Found some frozen blueberries….and a little white whole wheat flour…. Ok, blueberry muffins. Done.
  
  Except when I look a bit further for my cupcake liners I have two left. I can almost hear the wah wah wah in the background.
  
  Shift breakfast idea….Bread. Done. Not banana bread. Kids will kill me. Hence the birth of the:
  
  Blueberry Crumble Breakfast Bread
  
  So not your grandma’s banana bread.
  
  This actually turned out better than I thought they would.
  
  Here is how things went:
  
  First my liquids…fyi, If your coconut oil is solid, you will need to melt it down a bit in the microwave before combining with the rest of your ingredients.
  
  Whisk in your almond flour. Bonus shot of protein. Score.
  
  You have heard of white whole wheat flour, right? Still has the nutrients, but can fool the naysayers.
  
  Keep stirring. It will get thick and dough-like.
  
  Spread into your loaf pan.
  
  Here is where the magic happens.
  
  About 35 minutes give or take. Depends on your oven.
  
  Blueberry Crumble Breakfast Bread
  
  Ingredients:
  
  2 eggs
  1/3 cup honey
  3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  1 teaspoon vanilla
  1 teaspoon baking soda
  1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  1/2 cups almond flour (ground up almonds or Trader Joe’s has a fantastic inexpensive almond meal)
  2 cups white whole wheat flour
  2/3 cup frozen blueberries
  
  Procedure:
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl use either a whisk combine the eggs, honey, butter, vanilla, baking soda, and sea salt.
  3. With a spatula fold in the almond flour and 1/3 cup blueberries.
  4. Batter will be very thick like cookie dough. Stir baby! Spread into loaf pan.
  5. Top with remaining 1/3 cup blueberries.
  6. Bake for 34-38 minutes. Toothpick should come out clean. Let it cool a bit before slicing.
  Breakfast of champs.
  
  Healthy alternative when you are so over banana bread.
