Servings: persons

1 1/3 cups unsweetened coconut milk
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup spelt flour whole
1/2 cup spelt flour light
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch sea salt
1 teaspoon coffee extract or 1 tbsp finely ground coffee
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 pinch ground cloves
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1
Combine the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar in a liquid measuring cup. Stir lightly and set aside to curdle for at least 5 minutes.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground coffee, cinnamon, ground ginger, cardamom, nutmeg and cloves. Stir to combine. Add the curdled non-dairy milk, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine, taking care not to over mix.
3
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush the pan with melted coconut oil. Drop 1/3 cup measures of the pancake batter into the pan. Allow the first side to cook for 1 to 11/2 minutes, or until bubbles pop on the surface and the edges appear dry and lightly browned. Flip the pancakes over and cook for another minute. Remove pancakes and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.

Serve pancakes with cranberry compote spooned over the top and extra maple syrup if you like.
