Do you enjoy pancakes and eggs? Do you have your old sandwich maker lying around? If the answer is yes, you’re in for a real treat! This Grain-Free Pancake Pocket recipe is simple to make and extremely fun to eat!!! If you can prepare pancake batter and scrambled eggs, you can make this amazing breakfast/brunch dish! (And you can even hide some veggies inside where your kids can’t see them! 😉)

These Grain-Free Pancake Pockets can even be made ahead and warmed up later for an awesome on-the-go meal or snack anytime!

How can they be grainless??? Through the magic of cassava flour. 🙌 It’s the perfect wheat/grain substitute! Cassava flour tastes just like wheat flour, but is not inflammatory to the gut, and is approved for paleo, autoimmune (AIP) and Whole30 diets! It’s yummy as well as supports gut health and stable blood sugar!!! It’s a win-win!!!

Pancake Batter Ingredients:

-1/2 cup Ottos Cassava Flour

-Optional: Organic maple syrup for dipping.

Making Grain-free Pancake Pockets!

Instructions for Pancake Pockets:

-Heat sandwich maker. 

-Once heated, open lid and apply a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.

-Spoon a thin layer of batter (divided) to fully cover the bottom of sandwich maker. (A thin layer is required to make sure there is enough room for the egg filling.)

-Spoon scrambled egg mixture on top of pancake batter, within the confines of the pocket of the sandwich maker.

-Spoon a top layer of pancake batter, just enough to cover egg mixture.

-Close the lid of sandwich maker and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes.

-Lift lid. Pancake Pockets are fully cooked when the batter turns slightly brown. (See picture above)

-Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later.

-Serve by themselves or with syrup, if greater sweetness is desired. I love them plain!
