Paleo Gingerbread Protein Pancakes

Well well well. The festive flair was bound to kick in sooner or later, and along with discovering a 'rubbish free' mincemeat so I can soon invent paleo mince pies, I made THESE!
Sometimes I have to pat myself on the back haha! (if you want to make these for kids, just omit the hemp protein and add a little more coconut flour.)

For the Pancakes.
- 2 eggs
- 1 heaped tsp natural blackstrap molasses
- 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour (Ground Almonds)
- 2 tbsp Coconut Flour
- 1 scoop Unflavoured Hemp Protein
- 2 heaped tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

For the Topping
- 1 Tbsp Creamed Coconut Melted
- 1 Tbsp Cashew Butter
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- a drop of Vanilla
- 1 heaped tsp Raw Chocolate Tropical Nut Spread (or similar)
- Handful of Pecans
- Sprinkle of Raw Cacao Nibs

* Heat a good non stick pan on low.
* Mix eggs and molasses well in a bowl. the molasses will take a while to mix well, if you're struggling, add your almond flour now.
* Add almond flour, coconut flour, protein, ginger, cinnamon and sugar and mix.
* Now add your almond milk slowly until you get a thick cakey mixture.
* Spread your pancakes into whatever shape you wish (grab a gingerbread man cookie cutter and add it to your frying pan to make your pancakes fun for your kids!)
* Allow to cook slowly until bubbles appear across the top, then flip.

* While your pancakes are cooking, mix together your melted creamed coconut and cashew butter, cinnamon and vanilla until smooth.

* Once all your pancakes are cooked, pile them up, scoop your chocolate spread on, pour over your cashew cream mixture and sprinkle over your pecans and cacao nibs...

Most importantly, ENJOY! These guys may be my favourite invention yet. PERFECT for Christmas! And taking out the protein they are perfect for all the family for Christmas morning!
