Best AIP Pancakes (Paleo, no banana, egg-free)

Best AIP Pancakes have the perfect pancake texture, crispy on the edges, a little cakey in the middle (not gooey!), and you can't tell they're an egg-free recipe. My favorite pancakes! (Also Paleo, Gluten-free and Low FODMAP.)

Equipment

mixing bowl
(handheld) electric mixer optional
pan for frying pancakes
spatula

Ingredients

1 cup tiger nut flour
½ cup tapioca flour
¾ cup tiger nut milk or preferred milk, such as coconut, if tolerated (NOTE: Only use 1/2 cup milk if you choose the applesauce version of the recipe. See note directly below about applesauce option.)
Optional: ½ cup applesauce This ingredient is optional (omit for Low FODMAP). The reason to choose it is if you want the best textured batter: it's a little thicker and makes perfect rounds for pancakes. Without it, the other version of the recipe has lacier edges (which are delicious). Both versions are equally good.

3 Tablespoons avocado oil
4 teaspoons coconut flour Low FODMAP: sub this for tiger nut flour, or if you can't have coconut.
1 Tablespoon gelatin <--This is the best brand, with 3rd party testing for pesticides. Use code BEAUTIFUL10 at checkout for 10% off your entire order.
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (for Low FODMAP)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda sifted
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Combine the dry ingredients in a medium size bowl.
Add and stir in the wet ingredients. (I use electric handheld beaters on low, then medium speed.) Let batter sit and thicken 5 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add oil to coat. Drop pancake batter in rounds onto hot skillet. (I use a 2-ounce scoop.)
Immediately reduce the heat to low, so the pancakes don't get too dark before it's time to flip them. This batter burns more quickly than some pancakes, so be sure to cook the pancakes over low heat, and watch them closely to know when to flip them.
Proceed as with all pancake recipes: When the edges of each cake are slightly dry, a few bubbles show and the bottoms of the first sides are browned nicely, yet not too dark, flip, and cook the second sides. Add a small amount of fat to the pan as needed and between batches.
Serve with toppings or without. These pancakes are sweet on their own because tiger nut flour is naturally sweet + the 1 tablespoon of sweetener in the recipe. To enjoy without syrup, eat plain (they're so good!), or top with coconut oil, homemade applesauce, AIP yogurt, fresh fruit etc.
