Your P-nut butter dislike is rooted in the same source as my extreme
prejudice against bologna. The dreaded overdose.

As I don't take anything in my coffee. And only lemon (very occasionally) in

Title: Blueberry-Orange Pancakes
Categories: Breads, Dairy, Citrus, Fruits
Yield: 9 Pancakes
1 c Almond milk greek yogurt *
2 lg Eggs; whisked
Zest of 2 oranges
3 tb Orange juice
2 tb Maple syrup or sorghum
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 c Tapioca flour
1 c Almond flour
1 ts Baking powder
pn Salt
1 c Blueberries; more as garnish
Whisk together yogurt, eggs, zest, orange juice, syrup,
and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
Mix in tapioca flour, almond flour, baking powder and
salt. Fold in blueberries.
Place pan over medium heat, grease pan, then use an ice
cream scoop to scoop the batter onto pan. Cook on each
side for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles begin to show in the
batter, then flip.
Top pancakes with blueberries and syrup.
* I have used standard Chobani Greek Yoghurt if making
from "scratch" as well as self-rising flour in place
of the non-wheat flour(s). I've never made these with
maple syrup since I don't care for that old tradition.
