JUMany people don't realize that bleached parchment paper contains harmful perfluorinated compounds that can wreak havoc on your health 😬.
Perfluorinated chemicals are added to many products we purchase to make them stain-resistant, non-stick, grease-proof, and water-resistant.
But thankfully, there is another way to make the clean up a dream: just use unbleached paper! That way, your food is safe, and no chlorine or chlorine derivatives are dumped into our lakes, rivers and streams 🌎.
So here is my Baked Gingerbread Pancakes recipe that I make in a baking dish with unbleached parchment paper for easy cooking and clean up 🥞!
This recipe comes together as fast as a smoothie and comes out of the oven all at once so that everyone around the table can eat at the same time 😃.
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon avocado oil, for greasing the dish
5 large eggs 🥚
¼ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
½ cup unsweetened nut or seed butter
1 cup unsweetened applesauce 🍎
1/4 teaspoon pure monk fruit extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ to 1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg or allspice
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric (optional for colour)
Pinch of unrefined pink salt
1/2 cup raw almond, hazelnut or sunflower seed flour
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish with unbleached parchment paper. Spread the avocado oil evenly across the paper.
2. Combine the eggs, milk, nut butter, applesauce, monk fruit, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and turmeric (if using), and salt in a blender. Blend until well mixed. Add the nut or seed flour and blend again to combine.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Shake to evenly disperse the batter around the dish.
4. Bake for 26 minutes until the top is dry and slightly golden on the edges. Let cool, then cut into 6 to 8 pieces.
Store the pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They freeze well and refresh nicely when toasted.
