Absolutely nothing is more boring than pancakes with no toppings. Has anybody in ever eaten a pancake with no syrup or fruit or something on top? Doubt it.
Here are some preferred almond pancake toppings of mine:
Butter
This really is very first on my list mainly because its important to every thing else. None of your toppings will taste to their complete potential without a healthful smathering of butter all over your almond pancakes. As my mom used to say: "Butter would make everything taste far better!"
Almond Butter
Just like peanut butter - almond butter is just ground up nuts. It's very best to not buy the brands with additives. It's odd that you need to acquire the much more high priced brands to avoid additives like sugar, guar gum and so forth. All you'll need is plain old crushed up almonds, possibly with some added salt.
It might seem weird to top almond pancakes with almond butter - and also weirder when you substitute cow's milk with almond milk within the actual pancake recipe as I do. But due to the fact the pale/primal eating plan is what brought me to almond-based dishes in the very first spot, its a all-natural topping for me. And considering that peanuts don't fit with the primal/paleo diet, I don't advocate peanut butter - though it won't kill ya
Honey
Honey is pure sugar - correct. But as opposed to that more popular topping - maple syrup - honey has several well being benefits when you consume the raw stuff.
Raw honey - the sort that is definitely unheated, unfiltered and un-everything - is so healthful that raw manuka flower honey - essentially the most potent variety from New Zealand - has killed MRSA bacteria in laboratory tests. Its because of anti-bacterial properties of particular kinds of pollen inside the honey.
Anyway - honey could be the way to go for a sweet and comparatively healthful almond pancake topping.
Fruit
On the subject of fruit and almond pancakes (or any kind of pancakes) - fresh is really not better. Frozen fruit - particularly berries - are truly much better for the reason that when thawed the juices ooze out of them and soak the pancakes. Fresh cut strawberries or peaches for instance - just don't have the goopy, gooey consistency that make a fantastic almond pancake topping.
So:
- Thaw a cup of frozen mixed berries inside the microwave
- Dump the berries and juice all on the top of your almond pancakes
- If that ain't sweet enough, drizzle some honey on leading, as well
Chocolate
Chocolate sauce - or melted hunks of chocolate - is entirely yummy but not for everyone because it tends to make for a thick, sticky pancake. If you want the antioxidant and low-sugar rewards then stick with dark or semi-sweet chocolate, not milk chocolate.
Syrup
I do not need to explain this one particular do? Just make sure to pre-spread the pancakes with a lot of butter!
