I really am going to try to be better at blogging (i.e., more than once a year) as I have so many new recipes to share. My husband and I have been in the Microbiome Diet for about 8 weeks and we feel great. So much so, it is now our food plan, not a diet per se. More on that in another blog.
I do get a hankering for bread, brownies or pancakes every now and again. I especially like pancakes while enjoying the Sunday Morning show. I am experimenting with gluten free options and I tried this recipe today. I was quite pleased!
I wish I had taken photos along the way, but I didn't think about blogging until now. Honestly, the recipe is so easy that you don't need pics. 😉
Try them out and let me know how you like them!
Gluten Free Blueberry Pancakes
(Makes about 12 4" pancakes)
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (I used King Arthur brand)
- ¼ cup gluten free oatmeal (I used Red Mill)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon roasted flaxseed (optional, I used Trader Joe's)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons REAL maple syrup (or Lakanto Monkfruit sweetner or honey.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla f
- ¼ cup unsweetened apple butter (I happened to have some but you can also use unsweetened applesauce. You could even add Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup coconut milk (I used Silk brand; or you can use almond or cashew milk)
- 1/2 banana mashed with a fork
- Maine Blueberries (about 1/2 cup, or to your liking. If you aren't lucky enough to have Maine bloobs, you can add any others)
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle pan over medium heat on the stovetop.
- Preheat oven to 150 -200 (just to keep the plates and pancakes warm)
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and flaxseed.
- Add the maple syrup, vanilla, apple butter, banana and milk. Whisk about 15 seconds just to get the large lumps combined. Gently stir in blueberries.
- Spray griddle with canola oil or grease with a little coconut oil. Add about ¼ cup of the batter for each pancake.
- Cook for about 2 minutes ( or until you start to see a few bubbles) and flip. Cook for another 1 - 2 minutes.
- Remove from the griddle, and keep warm or serve up directly on your preheated plates!
Top with a little organic butter, a few more blueberries and a little more real Maple syrup. (Promise me you will away from the other stuff that is full of high fructose corn syrup).
Enjoy!
