Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the pear slices in the lemon juice and set aside.
  • Now, in a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric hand mixer or in a standing mixer until they become frothy. Add the coconut milk, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and lemon zest and mix on a low speed until well combined. Sift in the almond flour and continue mixing on low speed until combined.
  • Now, you can use several mini cast iron pans (1-2 big ones) or whatever you have handy! Heat the pan or pan(s) over medium heat until hot, about 2 minutes. Now, add the ghee, and when it begins to foam, add the pear slices, quickly turning them to coat them in the mixture, and arranging them in a single layer across the bottom of the pan(s).
  • Then, pour the batter evenly over the pears and transfer the skillet to the oven.
  • Bake until the pancake has set in the middle (check with a toothpick!), the sides have risen, and the bottom is nicely browned, about 20-25 minutes.

Notes

You can serve these pancakes with a dollop of butter for breakfast or turn them into dessert by adding some ice cream and caramel sauce!
