Jump to Recipe

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last,
“what’s the first thing you say to yourself?”
“What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?”
“I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully. “It’s the same thing,” he said.”

Happy New Year!

Are you starting the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol today? Otherwise known as the AIP? Two years ago on January 1, 2013, I started the AIP and it transformed my health. There’s something about the “fresh start” feeling of a new year that helps a lot of us jumpstart a big change. I have good news for all of you who are doing that today: a cookbook to make that change much easier. For those of you who are AIP veterans, this cookbook is here to spruce up your mornings and bust through breakfast boredom.

What On Earth Can I Eat For Breakfast?

With grains, dairy and eggs removed from your diet, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed with one question flashing through your mind: “What will I eat for breakfast?” This e-cookbook answers that question 85 delicious ways. Two years ago, I scoured the web to locate AIP breakfast ideas for myself, and the pickings were slim. Times have changed, my friends! More and more people have embraced this protocol as a way to reverse their autoimmune disease, and they’re creating some delicious recipes. This cookbook is my baby, but I asked 25 other AIP bloggers to contribute their best recipes, and here are the results:

Oven Baked Pumpkin Spiced Pancakes (Paleo, AIP)

Print Recipe

• Author: Jaime Hartman
• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 25 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Yield: 6 pancakes
• Category: Treats
• Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons gelatin
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 4 dried dates, pits removed
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 2/3 cup sweet potato flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Topping: maple syrup, honey, and/or whipped coconut cream, optional

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Dissolve the gelatin in the hot water and mix well.
3. In a food processor or high speed blender, puree dates, pumpkin, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and the gelatin and water mixture until smooth.
4. Add sweet potato flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Puree again until all ingredients are well combined (the batter will be thick – more like a cake than a traditional pancake).
5. Make six roughly equal size pancakes on the cookie sheet – spreading them out so that each one is about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they hold together when you gently slide a spatula under them and try to move them.
7. Serve with desired topping or eat plain.
