This has been heavy on the rotation of quick breakfast prep pre-hospital this month! It takes less than 5 minutes to blend up and throw in a pan while getting ready for work. Pair it with some chicken apple sausages and it has been the perfect high protein breakfast to enjoy when I sit down to chart mid-morning! If convenience wasn’t the goal, you could make multiple smaller pancakes for a more aesthetic plated brunch look 🙂 I tend to use my 12 inch sauté pan for the ‘giant’ pancake and end up folding it in half then again once more to-go. I am using tapioca flour which does give it a slightly chewy texture, but you can substitute any flour of your choice if you aren’t aiming for gluten free. The texture and the fold-to-go reminds me a little bit of lefsa…a Norwegian like crepe I remember having growing up. Very easy to find year ’round in the grocery stores back home. For an extra fall effect sauté some apples, cinnamon, and clove in your maple syrup to top. Added flavor and fiber, win-win. Bon appetit 💃

Notes

Tapioca flour does give this a little bit of a chewy texture!  I enjoy this, it reminds me of lefse, a Norwegian staple found grocery stores back home in Wisconsin year round!  If you do not need a gluten free option, feel free to use any flour of your choice!  This recipe is high protein and celiac friendly.
