Bananaless Paleo Pancakes

1 cup almond flour

¼ hemp seed

½ cup almond milk

2 Tbs gelatin (I used Vital Proteins’ Beef Gelatin)

4 large eggs

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

DIRECTIONS

Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth

Cover and let the batter sit overnight in the fridge- this makes the pancakes thick fluffy

Cook on low heat in a fry pan greased with coconut oil- should take 2-3 minutes per side

Top with coconut yogurt, mulberry jam or anything else you would like! I added bee pollen, fresh berries  and almond butter to mine!

If NYC is lacking anything it is not coffee shops. You seriously cannot walk a block without passing one, two or ten shops, each of them offering something special. My latest journey through SOHO led me to a little gem called maman which may have snuck its way to the top of my list. The ambiance was a breath of fresh air, I felt like I was in a greenhouse and at the same time I felt like I was browsing through an antique shop. It was perfect! I ordered a matcha latte and a smoked salmon croissant both of which were delicious! If you’re looking for a quaint cafe with great food, a homey feel and a great space to get work done then head on over to maman.
