Ingredients
Honey Maca Pancakes

  • (For a vegan version, substitute the honey with your sweetener of choice)
  • 2 cups cashews — soaked overnight
  • 1/2 cup Irish moss — thoroughly rinsed and soaked in hot water for at least 10 minutes
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup raw honey
  • 2 tablespoons maca powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sprouted pecan butter or other nut butter/oil
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds — optional
  • 2 tablespoons ground almonds
  • 3/4 cup ground flax seeds

Yogurt Cream

  • 1/2 cup macadamia nuts- soaked overnight
  • 1/2 cup cashews — soaked overnight
  • 1 tablespoon light agave syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutritional yeast
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons Bio-k acidophilus
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower lecithin — optional, really good for you

Honey-glazed Apricots

  • Slice apricots, drizzle with raw honey mixed with small amount of coconut oil. Dehydrate at 115F for 1-2 hours.

Instructions


Honey Maca Pancakes

In a high speed blender mix together all but the last three ingredients until very smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the ground almonds, poppy and flax seeds, mix thoroughly. Spread to a desired thickness onto Teflex covered dehydrator trays. Dehydrate at 105F for about 6 hours, then flip over and dehydrate for another couple of hours until the pancakes are dry enough and ready to be cut into circles. We cut out the circles by using a bowl as a template.

Yogurt Cream

In a high speed blender, combine all of the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Assembly
Spread the yogurt cream on each pancake, top with fruits of your choice, sprinkle with poppy seeds (optional) and enjoy. You can keep all the components separately, or in the form of a cake, like we did. Either way, it tastes great and holds well.
