Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Gum Free, Weird Starch Free PANCAKES!

Okay, these are my new favorite thing. I think everyone should eat these even if you don't have any dietary restrictions. My Mother-in-law gave me the recipe. I don't know where she found it but it is golden.

All the things I hate about most gluten-free pancakes (weird starches, high sugar, xanthan gum,) are eliminated in this recipe. . .and it is dairy free, too!

French Toast Pancakes


1/2 cup almond meal
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 T vanilla
1/4 cup water
2 large eggs
(**the original recipe calls for 1/8 cup sugar. . .I made it this morning without the sugar and did not miss it. . .I liked it better without, actually!)

You can't feel bad about giving your kids almonds and flax in the morning!
My five-year-old (celiac) loves hers topped with powdered sugar and fresh lime juice.
Little Magggie (20 months) prefers a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
I topped mine with wilted spinach, a poached egg and a scoop of cottage cheese. It was delicious!

Thanks, Grandma Susie!  This one is a winner!
