CRICKET FLOUR PANCAKES AND WAFFLES

The goal is to reduce one's carbon footprint, not by going vegan or vegetarian, (because our bodies are obviously omnivorous by design), but by eating insects.

CRICKET FLOUR PANCAKES AND WAFFLES

Cricket Flour Pancakes batter can be used for pancakes or waffles. They are good by themselves, very substantial for a meal, and also excellent with any traditional toppings. I am partial to having them with maple syrup and butter, since I grew up with buckwheat pancakes with maple syrup; and these are quite similar. High protein.

Equipment

blender
frying pan or griddle

Ingredients

6 whole eggs pasture-raised preferred
1/2 cup chia seeds If you can't have chia seeds, try substituting in coconut flour for the seeds. (I haven't done this recently, but I have a note from the past; it may work. Let us know in the Comments.)
1/4 cup cricket flour
2 Tablespoons coconut oil , butter or fat of choice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Place all the ingredients in a blender.
Blend on medium speed for 30 seconds, or until you have a mostly smooth batter.
Allow the batter to set up and thicken for 10 to 15 minutes. The chia seeds will perform this action. Give the batter a stir.
Heat a griddle or frying pan with 1 Tablespoon preferred fat and fry up the pancakes, adding more fat as needed. They will cook as traditional pancakes do.
