Almond Pancake Toppings

Paleo Sauce:

Absolutely nothing is more boring than pancakes with no toppings. Has anybody in ever eaten a pancake with no syrup or fruit or something on top? Doubt it.

Almond Pancake Toppings

Here are some preferred almond pancake toppings of mine:

Butter

This really is very first on my list mainly because its important to every thing else. None of your toppings will taste to their complete potential without a healthful smathering of butter all over your almond pancakes. As my mom used to say: "Butter would make everything taste far better!"

Almond Butter

Just like peanut butter - almond butter is just ground up nuts. It's very best to not buy the brands with additives. It's odd that you need to acquire the much more high priced brands to avoid additives like sugar, guar gum and so forth. All you'll need is plain old crushed up almonds, possibly with some added salt.

It might seem weird to top almond pancakes with almond butter - and also weirder when you substitute cow's milk with almond milk within the actual pancake recipe as I do. But due to the fact the pale/primal eating plan is what brought me to almond-based dishes in the very first spot, its a all-natural topping for me. And considering that peanuts don't fit with the primal/paleo diet, I don't advocate peanut butter - though it won't kill ya

Honey

Honey is pure sugar - correct. But as opposed to that more popular topping - maple syrup - honey has several well being benefits when you consume the raw stuff.

Raw honey - the sort that is definitely unheated, unfiltered and un-everything - is so healthful that raw manuka flower honey - essentially the most potent variety from New Zealand - has killed MRSA bacteria in laboratory tests. Its because of anti-bacterial properties of particular kinds of pollen inside the honey.

Anyway - honey could be the way to go for a sweet and comparatively healthful almond pancake topping.

Fruit

On the subject of fruit and almond pancakes (or any kind of pancakes) - fresh is really not better. Frozen fruit - particularly berries - are truly much better for the reason that when thawed the juices ooze out of them and soak the pancakes. Fresh cut strawberries or peaches for instance - just don't have the goopy, gooey consistency that make a fantastic almond pancake topping.

So:

1. Thaw a cup of frozen mixed berries inside the microwave
2. Dump the berries and juice all on the top of your almond pancakes
3. If that ain't sweet enough, drizzle some honey on leading, as well

Chocolate

Chocolate sauce - or melted hunks of chocolate - is entirely yummy but not for everyone because it tends to make for a thick, sticky pancake. If you want the antioxidant and low-sugar rewards then stick with dark or semi-sweet chocolate, not milk chocolate.

Syrup

I do not need to explain this one particular do? Just make sure to pre-spread the pancakes with a lot of butter!

Simple Paleo Ice Cream Recipe

Paleo Sauce:

It's the festive season and watching relatives and friends gorge themselves on ice cream and tasty sweets can be painful when you're trying to stay healthy and stick to a rigid nutrition plan. I know as a follower of the paleo diet the hardest thing for me to adjust to was the lack of desserts and sweets for the paleo follower. However there is hope, by replacing regular milk with coconut milk and swapping the ultra heavy chocolate and sugar filling for natural fruits and nuts we can create gorgeous and equally delicious recipes for the paleo diet follower.

Simple Paleo Ice Cream Recipe

I got creative earlier and here's a simple tried and tested ice cream recipe to sate the sweet tooth of the Paleolithic patron. The trick with this is preparation and smoothness, as it's tricky at first to stop the eggs from scrambling, which completely ruins the dish. Make sure the temperature is warm enough to melt the ingredients but not too hot to make them curdle and boil, once you've got this right though you will never look back.

Ingredients:
* 400ml coconut milk
* 2 large eggs
* 3 tbsp honey
* 1/4 cup blueberries
* 1/2 cup processed strawberries
* 2 tsp cinnamon

How to make:
1. Place a heat proof bowl over a simmering pot of water. Make sure the bowl is wider than the pot so it sits on top comfortably and there is enough space under the bowl to ensure no part of it comes in direct contact with the water.

2. Place the strawberry, blueberry and honey into the bowl and heat until it's warmed through but ensure heat is low enough to prevent boiling.

3. Separately whisk the eggs. When they are thoroughly whisked slowly mix in a quarter of the wet mixture with a mixing spoon, slowly and delicately. Ensure the eggs don't scramble by maintaining a warm but not boiling temperature and constantly stirring with your spoon. Continue until all of the wet mix is mixed in and a thick creamy sauce is created.

4. Let the mixture cool off before placing into the fridge.

5. Place the mixture in a container and place in the freezer. Remove every 25 minutes for 2 and a half hours until you have a creamy ice cream.

This is a recipe that I love but it is easily customisable. Try varying the fruits in the mix and garnishing with nuts, cinnamon or any other flavours you fancy. Even sweeteners to help bring out the sharpness and taste.
