We love pancakes around here! We have collected, created and made so many variety of pancakes and syrups that I thought I needed to start sharing some of our favorites. These nutty pancakes are my absolute favorite, they are packed with protein from all the nut flours and I love the texture and flavor. They go well with any kind of syrup but we love berry syrups best. I hope you will experiment, tweak and change this around to make it one of your favorites as well, I have included other options in the recipe below.

You can make any kind of nut meal by filling a coffee grinder with the nut and grinding until the desired consistency. Some nuts have more oils in them than others, such as pecans and walnuts, these will produce a more clumpy texture that will eventually turn into a nut butter. You can see what my pecan meal looks like in these pictures. I like the texture the "oily" nuts give to these pancakes but you can choose any nut meal you like.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. You can add berries, fruit, nuts, etc. if you desire. They are now ready to be cooked over your griddle and topped with a yummy syrup of your choice.
Mixed Berry Syrup
1 part mixed berries (I just use the frozen mixed berries from Costco)
1 part pure maple syrup
Warm together over very low until heated through. I like to pour it on as is but the kiddos like it blended up which creates a thicker texture more like a rich syrup.
I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
