Peace, family,

Today is December 12, 2019. The year has flown by and I’m not exactly sure how to feel about. It seems like we were just in Fredericksburg, sipping all of the wine, and enjoying all of the good food for my 30th birthday. Now here I am knocking on the door of 31, and I can’t believe how much my life has changed. This past year with my not-so-new anymore baby boy has been awe-inspiring.

In my past life, (aka pre-baby life) I was one brunching sister. On any given Sunday you could catch me – husband and friends in tow- enjoying any one of San Antonio’s patio brunch situations, drinks flowing. Things have since changed. Those moments are a little harder to come by when you have a one-year-old and a booked solid schedule, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. These days we enjoy a lot more in-home brunches. The pros of this is that we save a lot of money, don’t have to hire a sitter, and I get tons of practice testing new recipes, that I get to then share with you. Win-win! I also enjoy the intimacy of having friends in our home, where we can be in a comfortable setting to eat, drink, laugh, share, and unwind before a new week of running the rat race begins.

Vanilla Rum Pancakes

You guys, these pancakes are so fluffy, delicious, and comforting. I seriously cannot sing their praises enough. In a stroll down the baking aisle of Central Market, the mood struck me to pick up some rum extract. To me, it’s the perfect addition to recipes where you want to add the nice rum flavor, but don’t want to dip into your home bar or go out and buy an entire bottle, only to use such a small quantity.

Combined with the vanilla and other spices, the rum adds a richness to the pancakes that you will surely appreciate. To me, this recipe is so warm and comforting; I’m certain you’ll agree. Pair with your favorite keto-friendly syrup and toppings, and you’ll be set for breakfast, brunch, or heck – even dinner. Try it out and let me know what you think.

Peace,

Adri

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp.. vanilla extract
• 2 tsp. rum extract
• 1 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 3 tbsp. Swerve sweetener
• salted butter

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and rum together until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder, and Swerve.
3. Add the wet mixture to the dry, and continue whisking until ingredients are well combined, and a smooth batter forms.  
4. On a griddle or skillet, add a small portion of butter and allow to heat on medium for 1-2 minutes.
5. Pour a portion of the batter into the skillet, and allow to cook for 2-2.5 minutes per side. You will know it's time to flip when small bubbles begin to appear on the surface of the uncooked side. 

Notes

For 8 small pancakes, use 1/4 cup of batter for each.
For 4 large pancakes, use 1/2 cup of batter for each.
I opted for small pancakes, and used an egg ring to ensure that they were each the exact same size.
