Gluten free chocolate chip pancakes


Our Saturday tradition has become making pancakes. Today Emily and I decided to try using ground almond to make them and they turned out so much better than we could have ever hoped! They hold their shape so well and taste almost cakey. The addition of lemon and cinnamon to the batter just completes them. I cannot WAIT to make them again! 

 To make 8 gluten free chocolate chip pancakes you will need:
100g ground almonds
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon 
Pinch of salt 
3 eggs
3 tbsp milk
2 tbsp honey
Squeeze of 1/2 a lemon 
Shake of chocolate chips
Little butter for the pan 
Blueberries to serve
Chocolate coconut oil drizzle (see my pancakes from a fortnight ago for quantities)

 Pour the ground almonds, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into a bowl. In a separate jug whisk the eggs, milk, honey and lemon together and pour this into the dry ingredients, gently whisking to combine. Add the chocolate chips at this point.

 Warm the frying pan, melt a drop of butter and cook the pancakes one at a time, popping between two plates to keep warm between cooking.

 Make the coconut oil by melting some coconut oil in a frying pan and adding to it a squeeze of agave syrup and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. 

 Serve the pancakes by piling up on the plate, throwing some blueberries around them and drizzling the chocolate coconut sauce over the top. Divine.

Elderflower and white chocolate shortbread

Anyone that knows me will know how obsessed I am with elderflower cordial. For that reason I thought it was about time I started incorporating it into my baking. I found a lovely recipe on Wallflower Girl's blog and decided to give it a go. It was originally going to be a white chocolate and elderflower combination but there was a lonely lemon that I thought would make these even more of a springtime treat.  I managed 2 cake tins worth of shortbread, which equated to 16 slices. To make elderflower and white chocolate shortbread you will need: 250g butter 100g caster sugar 2 tbsp elderflower cordial 1/2 tsp vanilla extract The rind of 1 lemon 300g plain flour 100g chopped white chocolate Preheat your oven to 180C and prepare your baking tins. I went for 2 silicon cake tins to get the classic shortbread eighths but you're welcome to go for a square tin and create fingers...cut out rounds...whatever you fancy! You'll just need to increase the cooking time ...

Frozen yogurt breakfast bowl

I feel as if Instagram and Pinterest are awash with photos of breakfast bowls containing ingredients I just can't get my hands on in Wales (mail order acai berries anyone?) I did want to jump on the trend bandwagon however and so have been enjoying frozen yogurt breakfast bowls instead (sprinkled with some  homemade granola of course - this batch has cashews rather than ginger in though).  I make this in my smoothie maker - anything with the ability to blitz frozen fruit will do. I can thoroughly recommend this as a breakfast to get you kick-started in spring! To make 1 portion of frozen yogurt breakfast bowl you will need: A handful of frozen berries - the major supermarkets do this really well 1 banana 1 tablespoon of greek yogurt A splash of milk From experience of multiple attempts at this, you need to order the ingredients in the blender so that the banana and yogurt are nearest the blade (to create a kind of paste) with the frozen berries ...

Beetroot soda bread

This is a super-simple loaf to make when you don't want to wait hours for it to prove. I love the pink-hue you get from adding beetroot to this loaf. It is a good loaf to make to use up the dregs of bags of flour.  Beetroot soda bread Makes 1 loaf 300g beetroot (I used vacuum packed) 1 tsp fennel seeds 100ml plain full-fat yogurt 400g flour (I used 300g plain white and 100g wholemeal flour) 1 tsp sea salt 2 tsp baking powder 50g seeds (I used sesame) Preheat the oven to 220C. Puree the beetroot with the fennel and yogurt in a food processor until smooth. Mix the flour with the sea salt, baking powder and seeds. Fold the liquid beetroot mixture through this. As it comes together you can form into a ball with your hands but do not work too much or the finished loaf will be tough. Scatter some flour on a baking tray and place your ball of dough on top. You can add some more seeds to the top. Dust with flour and cut a deep cross into the top of...
