It only makes sense that I spend today’s post discussing mommy dearest. Unfortunately she likely won’t be able to read this as she is currently frolicking the globe and last I heard THM was in Russian…True story!

It’s probably a good thing I made this recipe while she’s away since the Maven Mama hates coffee. Clearly I didn’t inherit that gene. Her planning and organization genes seemed to have skipped my generation too. Sorry ma!

Paleo Mocha Almond Pancakes + Healthy Mother's Day Brunch Ideas // thehealthymaven.comIf you know my Mom, you know she is by far the most competent human-being on the planet. This is a lady who plans her vacations two years in advance, will find you the best deal on just about anything, and shuttled around 4 kids all while whipping up delicious meals. She’s basically the closest thing to superhuman that earth has ever seen.

Though I may have given her a hard time, well, all the time, she really is amazing and I’m grateful to have someone who I can turn to to help me navigate any situation, inspire me in the kitchen and remind me I have a dentist appointment. She is truly one-of-a-kind!

Even though we should tell our moms everyday how awesome they are, Mother’s day is the perfect opportunity to show them how much we care. So myself and my fellow food obsessed bloggers have brought you delicious and healthy brunch recipes that you can quickly whip up for Mom. There’s no better way to say “I love you” than through food amIright?

I brought my Paleo a-game to the table with these Mocha Almond Pancakes. It only took me three tries but they were SO worth it.

I hope you all have a fabulous day celebrating with your Mamas!

  5. Hi Davida! Love your website it is super adorable.

    I was super stoked when I saw your mocha almond pancakes, but I’m having a hard time getting them to work!

    They were falling apart like crazy no matter how much I cooked (or burned) them, so I added some xanthan gum and a little extra coconut flour. That made it too thick, so I added some more coffee. They will now hold together if I really cook them, but then they taste burnt and the insides are still totally uncooked and moist.

    Help! Gluten-free baked goods are hard.

    1. Hi lovely! I know, gluten-free baked goods can be tricky and especially pancakes because of the whole flipping thing 😉 My recommendation would be to turn the oven temp down and cook them for longer on the first side. They usually fall apart if you flip them too soon. So if they’re burning, your stove top is too hot and burning the pancakes before they’re even ready to be flipped! So just turn the oven down slightly, cook them for a bit longer and if you’re struggling at all with flipping, they’re still not ready to be flipped! Hopefully this helps to solve the problem. It’s usually what’s happening if my pancakes are being a little finicky!

    1. Hi Katie! Haven’t tried it myself but it should be fine! You may just need to thin it out with a bit of liquid (water, almond milk, coffee etc..) in the morning. Hope you enjoy 🙂
