Cinnamon & Coconut Pancakes

Wow!

These were so good. We usually make them a bit different but lately I’m obsessing over ‘Nora Cooks’ and this is one of her recipes that we tweaked a little bit.

As soon as I put the camera down, Lincoln & I demolished this plate like little piggy’s. 🐷🐷

Then we made more. 😋

And then there was one more left and we ate that too! Then we felt unwell and had to walk it off so we took Pepe for a walk.

Sorry this is so late. We’re headed to the beach and I’m typing in the car.

Enjoy these delicious pancakes!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups of plain gluten free flour (Regular flour will work fine).

1 tbsp baking powder

2 tspn cinnamon

1/2 tspn salt

1 cup coconut milk

1/2 cup water

2 tbsp canola oil

Method

In a medium sized bowl combine the dry ingredients & mix.

Add the wet ingredients & combine gently with a spoon being careful not to overmix or they won’t come out as fluffy.

Put a pan on medium to high heat and add some vegan butter.

Add around 1/3 cup of mix to the pan. I swirled the pan a little, to thin it out. The first one we didn’t swirl was a little thick and was slightly undercooked. The ones we swirled in the pan were crispy on the outside and perfect in the middle.

Leave to cook until the surface begins to dry out and bubbles appear, then flip.

Cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side and then serve with fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Lincoln’s second serve, on his Minecraft plate made in kindy. It’s a bit cute.

The Challenge: Home school for 1 year while not losing sanity or love for children and/or husband.
Contenders: Mila 8yrs, Lincoln 10 yrs, Me (Mum), Liam (Dad), Pepe (dog)

This blog was inspired by the film Julie & Julia, starring Meryl Streep & Amy Adams.

Julie decides she will take her love of cooking to the next level by cooking every recipe in Julia Childs French cookbook, in one year! 500 & something fancy, technical recipes!! While working full time!

Julie writes a daily blog about her time in the kitchen for herself & other amateur cooks who may, or may not be, reading along. You gotta watch it (http://thehomeschoolyear.com/about/).  Or read it here. (http://thehomeschoolyear.com/book)

I loved that she wrote every day. I loved hearing about her small everyday frustrations, with the recipes & with life. It really inspired me to throw myself into something.

The timing was perfect as we have just decided to homeschool our children as a lifestyle choice and I thought…Cool! A daily blog will be perfect!

There must be other families out there wondering if there’s another way to live? Another way to do ‘family life’?

If you’re here, then hello & welcome aboard! Please feel free to sit back & watch it all unfold. Put the kettle on & check in with us each night to see what went down and how we all got over the line. I’m sure we’ll find our rhythm, right?

Are you a homeschool family? If you’re watching the wheels fall off this thing, I’m open to your emails or comments any time. I would love them! I am very friendly, & I could use the help.

Ok, come hell or high water….I’m in. A daily blog, for 12 months. I’ll be right, here.

Kindly, Lisa x

Can we be friends?!
