Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • ½ cup polenta
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk from a carton
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ounce white cheddar shredded
  • ½ avocado
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter softened, plus additional for the pan
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Maple syrup for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, polenta, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a measuring cup, mix together the milk and egg. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Stir in the cheese. Let sit 10 minutes.
  • While the batter rests, make the avocado butter by mixing together the avocado and butter until smooth. Season with salt and refrigerate until ready to serve.
