Brandy Cherry Compote on Almond Flour Pancakes

So happy its cherry season! And there is no better way to celebrate than to make some Brandy Cherry Compote! This compote has a beautiful dark hue and the brandy adds a touch of luxury. This compote is so delicious and easy to make and is the perfect topping on pancakes. Now you may be surprised to find that I used frozen cherries for this recipe, let me explain. When you thaw frozen cherries this beautiful burgundy cherry juice drains from them. I wanted this juice for the compote and frozen cherries were the simplest means of getting it. You put two cups of frozen cherries in a strainer and place it over a bowl. Once thawed retain the juice collected in the bowl, you will use it later for simmering.

I have been eating a lot of these almond flour pancakes since seeing the recipe in my latest “Sift” magazine. I eat a lot of floured goodies, as you know, so when I can lighten up on the gluten in my daily eating I do. What I really love about these pancakes is the texture the almond flour lends, its almost like a corn meal texture, which I love. The batter is slightly thicker and has a grainy texture due to the almond flour, they cook up beautifully.

My favorite way to dress pancakes is with whipped cream. And in this case the cool whipped cream really balances nicely with the rich flavors of the Brandy Cherry Compote. The perfect combination!

Ring in cherry season with some Brandy Cherry Compote and don’t forget to make these wonderful almond flour pancakes to accompany it, or does the compote accompany the pancakes? Either way, you can’t go wrong.

Enjoy!

    OMG, SO MUCH YESSSSS going on here! I have a moderate to severe obsession with adding brandy to fruit, so I am loooooving that compote!!! I could eat just the compote with a shovel! But then you went and put it on some fluffy pancakes! Drool!!! Breakfast of champions right here! Cheers, friend!

      Hi Cheyanne! This is definitely shovel worthy and I snuck a few plump cherries before putting them on top of the pancakes myself! So glad you like these. Take care.

    These pancakes sound amazing! I have some almond flour open at the moment I’m keen to use. Do you think the pancakes would also work with buttermilk instead of normal milk? I’m excited to try them out either way!
