Thyroid Nutrition Foods: Almond Flour Zucchini Apple Pancakes

Fun Recipe with Important Thyroid Nutrition Foods

This recipe is a little playful as it uses the unusual combination of savory thyme and zucchini with sweet apple and honey. I hope you find them as complementary and joyful as I do. I dedicate this recipe  to all my clients who are staying off grains and/ or are following the Thyroid-GAPS diet (important thyroid nutrition foods) and who thought they would never have another pancake. There is life without grains! Try this and you will love it. These pancakes will also keep your blood levels even till md-day, unlike pancakes made of grain flours. What a perfect way to start the weekend!

The Ingredients

• 1 small zucchini, grated
• 1 small apple, grated
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (skip if you are doing GAPS)
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 2-3 tablespoons almond butter (you can use any nut butter, really)
• 3 sprigs of fresh thyme, chopped
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon honey (raw, unheated) or maple syrup (use honey if you are doing GAPS)
• 2 tablespoons of coconut oil

The Making

1. Combine apples, zucchini, thyme, honey and almond butter in one bowl
2. Combine flour, salt and baking powder in another bowl
3. Beat the eggs, just slightly
4. Combine all ingredients
5. Heat up the coconut oil and fry pancakes, about 5 minutes per side, without burning.

You can serve them with yoghurt and fresh fruit or your favorite jam.

These were lovely, thank you for the recipe! I did not have fresh thyme, so I used a pinch of dried thyme. I loved the flavor both plain and with homemade jam (made with honey instead of sugar). My children did not care for them plain, but were willing to eat them with a bit of raw honey. I would definitely say that the thyme adds a more adult friendly flavor though. Thank you for the recipe!
