Best Blanched Almond Recipes

I am a BIG-TIME brunch gal. I love hosting and putting out a nice big spread for family and friends. These pancakes are always included in that spread. They are the real deal, I promise you that. They’ve become not only a staple in our home, but also in the homes of our friends and family. In fact, I devised a pancake mix based on these pancakes and it has become my most requested holiday gift! Dairy-Free option: use coconut oil for the pan and serve with maple syrup only. Paleo-Friendly option: use ghee or coconut oil for the pan and serve with maple syrup only.Recipe courtesy of Lexi's Clean Kitchen, click here to purchase her cookbook, Lexi's Clean Kitchen: 150 Delicious Paleo-Friendly Recipes to Nourish Your Life.

It is also Paleo, meaning ancestral-- meats, seafood, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. It is important to rotate your foods and if you are living a REAL FOOD life, your body might be some animal fat every once in a while. A family of 4-6 people should need no more than 1-2 chicken breats. Pair with a plate of alkaline vegetable like broccoli or kale and you'll have balanced bodies!
