Ingredients
FOR THE PANCAKES
  • 4 cups Bob’s Gluten-free all purpose flour
  • 3-4 cups (or more if needed) water
  • 4 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 4 teaspoons agave
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chives, minced
  • 2 cups sweet potato, shredded
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and papper to taste
FOR THE SAUTEED CINNAMON APPLES
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 red apples, washed and sliced
  • pinch salt
  • 2 Tablespoons agave (optional)
FOR THE PESTO
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 cups basil leaves
  • salt to taste
  • ½ Tablespoon nutritional yeast
Instructions
FOR THE PANCAKES
  1. In a blender, mix the gluten free flour, water, coconut oil, agave, garlic powder and salt. Blend until smooth. Stir in the grated sweet potato and chives. Set
  2. Heat a cast iron skillet and heat some coconut oil until very hot. It should shimmer in the pan. Spoon some of the sweet potato pancake batter into the pan and cook 2-3 minutes until crispy, being careful not to burn the edges. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until crispy and cooked through to the center.
FOR THE APPLES
  1. Heat the olive oil in a saute pan on low and add the sliced apples. Cook slowly until the apples start to caramelize, become soft and lightly brown (about 15 minutes). Add the agave in the last 5 minutes of cooking (optional).
FOR THE PESTO
  1. Put all of the pesto ingredients together in a food procesor and run it until smooth. You may need to scrape dewn the sides of the food processor bowl a few times.
  2. * if you don’t have a food processor, you may use a blender. It may take a little bit of water to help everything blend smoothly in this case-just add it little by little.
