This delicious recipe is easy to make and ideal for breakfast (or perfect at any time!) The delicious taste of raspberries is hard to beat and chia seeds are a powerhouse of natural nutrition.

Yield: Makes 6 Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs (Organic/Free Range)
  • 100g ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon nature sweet sugar substitute
  • 1/2 cup Raspberry's, fresh or frozen
  • coconut oil or ghee to grease pan

Directions:

  1. Whisk all ingredients, except raspberries, together thoroughly.
  2. Gently stir through raspberries.
  3. Pre-heat pan on medium heat. Grease lightly with ghee or coconut oil.
  4. Put 1/4 cup batter on pan, flatten out to about 1cm thick. Brown on both sides.
  5. The pancake is ready when it's crispy on the outside but still a bit runny on the inside. Allow the middle to be slightly liquid, this way, the essential Omega 3 oil in the chia seeds will still remain mostly intact and the absorbent quality of the chia seeds will dry up the inside in a few minutes.
  6. Serve with slices of fresh fruit
