Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 cup Tapioca flour
- 1.25 cups Almond milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Ghee or coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, tapioca flour, and sea salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and honey (if using), and whisk well to combine.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to form a smooth, thin batter. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb some of the liquid.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with ghee or coconut oil.
Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter into the center of the pan and swirl it around to form a thin, even layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
Carefully flip the blini with a spatula and cook the other side for another 30-60 seconds until golden. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve the blini warm with your favorite Paleo-friendly toppings, such as smoked salmon, avocado, coconut yogurt, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey.
