1 Single Serve Recipe that Makes 3 to 4 Pancakes

Ingredients

1 large eggs
1/3 cup TH Baking Blend
1 tsp TH Super Sweet Blend
1/3 cup unsweetened nut milk (unsweetened almond or cashew milk, plus more as needed)
1/2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
1 dash TH Natural Burst Vanilla Extract
2 tsp extra virgin coconut oil (melted; or butter, optional but delightful)
2 Tbs on plan chocolate chips
coconut oil cooking spray (or butter for cooking)
extra virgin coconut oil (or butter for serving)
Basic Pancake Syrup (recipe p.516)
Handy Chocolate Syrup (recipe p. 371)

Instructions

1
Mix together the egg, Baking Blend, sweetener, nut milk, baking powder, vanilla (if using), and coconut oil (if using) in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk or fork. Add a couple more tablespoons nut milk if needed to get the perfect batter consistency. Add the chocolate chips and stir again. Let sit for a few minutes while you heat the griddle.
2
Turn an electric griddle to medium heat. Once hot, coat with coconut oil cooking spray or a smear of butter. Ladle on the pancake batter to make 3 or 4 pancakes. Cook on one side for about 3 minutes, then flip to brown the other side for a couple minutes.
3
Top with a dollop of extra butter (or coconut oil if dairy-free) and pancake syrup or chocolate syrup.

Note

NOTE: If you are a Drive-Thru Sue, find a store-bought sugarfree syrup as close to plan as possible. An erythritol/steviasweetened syrup would be optimum but harder to find in stores (until we release our own brand . . . hopefully soon!), but you can get away with some sorbitol-sweetened syrup here and there. Avoid maltitol if you can.
