*SERVES 4 TO 6

Ingredients
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons raw honey
1 tablespoon water
1 ½ cups almond flour
¼ to ½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
Coconut oil for cooking
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Method
WHISK THE EGGS TOGETHER in a large bowl. Add in the honey and water. Mix until smooth. Next, add the almond flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and a batter forms. Melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over low to medium heat. Once heated, place approximately 2 tablespoons of the batter at a time into the skillet, leaving enough space in between pancakes to flip. Cook until small bubbles form. Flip each pancake. Repeat with the remaining batter and add fresh oil as necessary. Sprinkle with the cinnamon and serve with fresh fruit. Yum!
