Ingredients
For the Hazelnut Pancakes
- 1 cup hazelnut flour aka hazelnut meal
- ½ cup brown rice flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup optional
- 2 egg
- ¾ cup coconut milk full-fat, canned
For the Chocolate Coconut Cream:
- 1 (14-oz) can coconut milk full-fat
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup to taste
Instructions
To Prepare the chocolate coconut cream:
- In a medium sized pot, add all ingredients for the chocolate topping and bring it to a full boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle boil and cook until thickened and smooth, stirring consistently, about 25 to 30 minutes.
To Make the Pancakes:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the hazelnut meal, brown rice flour, salt, cinnamon, and stir together well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, and coconut milk.
- Pour the dry mixture in with the wet and mix until combined. Allow the batter to sit 5 to 10 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle to medium heat and add just enough oil to lightly coat the surface.
- Measure out a heaping 1/8 cup of pancake batter and pour it on the hot skillet. You will likely need to spread the batter into a circle shape using a spatula or fork. Allow pancake to cook on the first side about 2 to 3 minutes, until the sides set up. Flip and cook another couple of minutes until cooked through.
- Serve pancakes with desired amount of chocolate topping and hazelnuts.
