1/3 cup coconut flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup coconut sugar (also known as coconut crystals or coconut palm sugar)
1/4 tsp. baking soda
4 eggs
4 slices of bacon (from pastured pigs, without nitrites and nitrates)
grease from 4 slices of cooked bacon (about a 1/4 cup)
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup coconut sugar (also known as coconut crystals or coconut palm sugar)
1/4 tsp. baking soda
4 eggs
4 slices of bacon (from pastured pigs, without nitrites and nitrates)
grease from 4 slices of cooked bacon (about a 1/4 cup)
- Fry the bacon until crispy. Reserve the bacon grease after cooking.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a food processor.
- Add the eggs and the bacon grease. If the bacon grease is still hot, drizzle it in as the food processor is running.
- Mix everything well in the food processor. I usually have to stop it once to use a rubber spatula to wipe all the flour into the middle so it gets well incorporated.
- Chop the bacon into smallish pieces - I like them about half an inch square but it could be smaller if you want the bacon to be less obvious (although that would kind of defeat the purpose)
- The batter is pretty thick, but it cooks up really nicely. In the same pan in which you cooked the bacon, cook the pancakes. I made 4 large pancakes with this recipe. You could make more if you made each one smaller, but I figured I was going for big flavor, why not make the pancake big too :)
- For each large pancake: spoon or scoop about 1/4 of the batter/dough onto the pan and spread it around until it's about 5 inches across and maybe 1/2 an inch thick. Sprinkle 1/4 of your chopped bacon onto the pancake.
- This recipe doesn't really get bubbly like flour pancakes, so you have to watch it to know when to flip. Because of the chocolate it's a little hard to tell when it's browned, but you don't want it to burn.
- Flip and the bacon gets incorporated into the pancake.
- Serve with lots of butter. You can drizzle a little honey or maple syrup on top, but it's not necessary. They have a nice sweetness all by themselves. Especially if you like dark chocolate, like I do.
