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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, tapioca flour, and sea salt.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with ghee or coconut oil.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 8

Serve the blini warm with your favorite Paleo-friendly toppings, such as smoked salmon, avocado, coconut yogurt, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey.
