PALEO PANCAKES WITH BERRY COMPOTE 
3 Weight Watchers ProPoints per serve
Serves 2 (4 pancakes) 

I LOVE pancakes!! And there are tons of great paleo pancake recipes out there. But this one takes the cake in my opinion. These are modified from my fav paleo foodies site- paleomg.com. If you would like more berry sauce, simple double the amount of ingredients shown below. YUM!! Enjoy!

Ingredients 

Pancakes
2 Bananas
3 Eggs
Vanilla Bean (one whole)
3 Tablespoons Coconut Flour
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
Sprinkle Cinnamon
Crack of Seasalt

Compote
1 cup Berries
2 Tablespoons Honey


Method
1) Place bananas in TMX bowl and mix for 5 seconds on speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

2) Add eggs and mix for 8 seconds on speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

3) Now scrape the beans out of the middle of the pod and add them to the TMX bowl. Add coconut flour, vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix for 10 seconds on speed 5. Scrape the sides and mix last little bits together with spatula.

4) Heat a large frying plan and add some nuttelex (or oil, I use nuttelex as it imparts a nice flavour into the pancakes). Pour batter in to the pan and spread out with spatula. (not too thin or too big as they will break when flipping) Cook the pancakes how you would normal pancakes- once they start to bubble you can flip them.

5) While cooking pancakes you can make the berry compote. Add berries to small saucepan and begin to heat. Once they begin to soften add the honey and stir. Cook until bubbling. Break down the berries and set aside until ready.

6) Plate up your pancakes and pour berry compote over the top. That's it! They are scrumptious!!!!!!!!
