Breakfast of Champions

In honor of Music City Marathon day...








I decided to retire my running shoes...










and create a Breakfast of Champions...
What would I eat if I were running a marathon?

Teff Almond Carrot Pancakes. Or Almond Teff Carrot or Almond Carrot Teff Pancakes. Whichever way you look at them, they are gluten free, vegan and sweet enough to satisfy the runner in us all to have the best day ever. You may not be running a marathon today, but in celebration of the day, may we all honor ourselves and never give up on our dreams!

Carrot Almond Teff Pancakes
Serves 3 or 1-2 marathon runners
1 cup teff flour
1 cup shredded carrots
2/3 cup blanched almond
2 t baking soda
1 t cinammon
1/2 t sea salt
2+ T Maple Syrup
1 T olive oil
1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon in a bowl. Add carrots, 1/2 cup crushed almonds, and 1 T maple syrup. Combine.
Heat pan with oil. Add batter and cook 3 minutes on each side.
Top with almonds, cinnamon and maple syrup.

Just in time for a marathon of a day!
