Delicata Squash Pancakes

SO. Remember when I made Turkey Sliders with sweet potato buns and cranberry aioli? Well, those buns got me thinking. What if I made them with something else equally as delicious as sweet potatoes, but that I could have on the 21DSD? Like…delicata squash? YES. My favorite of alllll the winter squashes.

So a breakfast sandwich was born. Specifically with smoked salmon, spinach, a fried egg, and these delicata squash pancakes. or buns. whatever you want to call them. How about little pillows of deliciousness. Doesn’t seem so bad now, does it? Plus I added my chimichurri sauce on top. Obviously. #addicted.

Have you ever done a sugar detox? the 21DSD? What did you think of it?

21-day sugar detox friendly pancakes! Made from delicata squash.

Dana: Dana

Serves: 6-10 pancakes

Ingredients

• coconut oil for the pan (about 1-2 Tbsp)
• 3 eggs
• 2 tsp coconut flour
• ½ tsp granulated garlic
• 1 tsp dried rosemary or basil
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 3 cups shredded delicata squash (cut it up in large chunks, then put it through the food processor shredder attachment or use a large hand grater)

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut flour, garlic, rosemary, and basil. Mix in the shredded squash until the eggs are evenly distributed.
2. Heat a large cast iron skillet (or pancake griddle) over medium-low heat with coconut oil. Make sure the bottom of the pan is well coated so the cakes don’t stick.
3. Use a ½ cup measure to spoon heaping ½c portions into the pan so they’re shaped like pancakes. Use the bottom of the measuring cup or a spatula to flatten them out a little bit. I can fit about 3 at a time in my cast iron, or more on the pancake griddle.
4. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until the egg is cooked through.
5. Serve warm or at room temperature. You can eat them alone with some extra salt and pepper, with eggs, avocado, or with a breakfast sandwich like mine! They’re also great with chimichurri sauce.
6. Faceplant.
