My Kids Will Always Eat A...

Dutch Baby.
I have altered, surprise, the yummy, baked pancake that my mom used to make for my brother and I. This is a delicious, protein packed breakfast and can easily be made savory for dinner.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Heat a medium skillet, cast iron preferably, while the oven is warming up
Melt a bit of butter in the bottom of the skillet as it warms.
Slice an apple and place the slices around the skillet.

In a blender...
add 4 eggs, blend for the count of 30,
add 1/2 cup milk, I use rice, blend again
add 1/2 cup flour, I have been using a mix of coconut, rice, spelt, etc. and blend once again
I also add in ground flax meal, a bit of honey, vanilla, cinnamon and whatever else strikes my fancy;
grated coconut, fresh ginger, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds/almonds/walnuts...
Pour mixture, it will be like a smooth pancake batter, into heated pan, over the apples, and bake until it is golden brown and puffy.

The apple on the bottom is not necessary and sliced peaches, nectarines or berries sprinkled on top once the batter is in the pan is also great. My girls like this with yogurt, I used to like it with fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar. Whatever your fancy, it is quick and simple and usually a breakfast hit.
