Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit Compote: In a saucepan, combine mixed berries, sugar, water, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries soften and release their juices, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. Prepare the Gluten Free Pancakes: In a large bowl, whisk together gluten free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. Cook the Pancakes: Preheat a non stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are set, then flip with a spatula and cook until golden brown on the other side. Repeat for all pancakes. Prepare the Creamy Avocado Spread: In a bowl, combine mashed avocados, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Chef’s Insight

Experiment with different fruits in the compote, such as apples, pears, or cherries, to enhance the seasonal flavors and create variety.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados for the creamiest texture in the spread.
