Key ingredients and substitutions:

• Almond flour – almond flour is one of my favourite grain free flours that you could easily swap for cashew flour if you are allergic to almonds. Almond flour is high in fiber, healthy fats and higher in protein than most other flours. You can find almond flour in the gluten free section of most grocery stores, or online. Just be sure to use blanched almond flour and not almond meal.
• Tapioca flour – tapioca flour or tapioca starch is used to help give these pancakes the most light and fluffy texture. Do not try swapping this for another flour and note that tapioca flour and cassava flour are not the same thing, so don't confuse the two!
• Coconut flour – coconut flour combined with the other flours in this recipe give these pancakes the best texture. 
• Eggs – to help make these pancakes so light and fluffy. I don not recommend trying to make these pancakes egg free.
• Coconut milk – to add some moisture to the pancake batter and some healthy fats. You can swap this for another dairy free milk such as cashew milk or almond milk. 
• Honey or maple syrup – either of these two natural sweeteners work to sweeten these pancakes and keep them refined sugar free.
• Apple cider vinegar – this is needed to combine with the baking soda to help these pancakes rise. You can swap this for lemon juice instead. 
• Blueberries – one of my favourite fruits that helps add natural sweetness and flavour to these pancakes.

How to make this recipe:

Step one:

First, preheat your electric griddle to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step two:

Next, in a bowl combine the dry and wet ingredients (except for the blueberries) and stir until the batter is smooth.

Step three:

Now gently stir in the blueberries.

Step four:

Then drop 2-3 tablespoon of batter at a time onto the pre-heated skillet and cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Step five:

Repeat until you use all the batter. Then serve and enjoy!

Chef's tips:

• Using room temperature eggs will help the pancakes turn out fluffier.
• If you don't have an electric griddle, use a skillet on low heat on the stove instead. Just add 1-2tbsp of oil (such as coconut oil) to the pan first so the pancakes don't stick.
• These pancakes freeze really well so feel free to make a double or triple batch and freeze some for later.
• If you don't have apple cider vinegar substitute with a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice or other vinegar of choice.
• If you don't have coconut milk substitute with another dairy-free milk such as almond milk or cashew milk.
• If you don't tolerate almonds I would use cashew flour instead of almond flour.

Topping ideas:

• I love topping my pancakes with maple syrup or honey.
• If you tolerate dairy, butter is always a great idea (you can also substitute with ghee or coconut oil).
• Nut butters such as almond butter, pumpkin seed butter, cashew butter or macadamia nut butter.
• My Berry Sauce would be so good on these pancakes!
• My Blueberry Chia Seed Jam or Plum Chia Seed Jam would both be great options.

How to store:

Store any leftover pancakes in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
