Air Fryer Pancakes

Air Fryer Pancakes

This morning I woke up and felt like pancakes, but I couldn’t be bothered with frying pans or flipping them, so I had an idea. An idea that turned out to be genius! Why not make them in the air fryer? Here is the result. An easy way to make pancakes. Happy days!

Ingredients

One lot of pancake mix (any is fine)

 

Method

  1. Make your pancake mix according to instructions
  2. Grease your air fryer safe dish/es with butter or your choice of oil
  3. Pour enough batter in to cover the base of the dish
  4. Set temp to 180C and cook for 5 minutes, checking progress as it cooks
  5. Once cooked (there is no need to flip the pancakes) remove and put on a plate
  6. Re-grease the dish and pour another lot of batter in.
  7. Repeat until all are cooked.

 

Notes

Healthy Pancakes

Healthy Pancakes

We we eat pancakes a lot, at least a couple of times a week. I’ve tried heaps of different recipes and while there are a few good ones, I find this to be the best! These are gluten free, dairy free, sugar free and lower in carbs than traditional pancakes, although not as ‘low carbs’ as some other of my recipes (that contain dairy).
They are fluffy and ‘flippable’ which I love … OK, I love watching Chris flip them! He’s pretty good at it, and I love his facial expressions before, during after. Lol.

RECIPE

  • 250g blanched almond flour (the lighter coloured one)
  • 250g tapioca flour (arrowroot flour)
  • 3/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 5 eggs
  • 500-700 g coconut milk (or milk of choice, or even water) Add more for thinner pancakes and less for thicker
  • Optional sweetener of choice (we don’t use one)

Method:

  1. Combine all ingredients really well (I use my thermomix and give it a really good blitz).
  2. Cook one side in a preheated pan over medium heat until bubbles form and then flip (give it a go!) to cook the other side.

  2. Let sit for 5 or so minutes or until thickened.
  3. Preheat a non-stick fryingpan over low-medium heat and melt butter/oil.
  4. Pour smallish sized rounds into the pan (don’t make them too big or they will break when you try to flip them!)
  5. Fry each pancake for 3–4 minutes on each side.
  6. Serve with double cream or extra butter and berries of your choice
     

Tips!
