Today's recipe is gluten free and low in sugar. Even if you are not gluten intolerant, it can still be a good idea to reduce the gluten in your diet. Gluten can cause inflamation, leading to a host of physical symptoms such as fatigue, pain, digestive issues, weight issues, red or itchy skin and even autoimmune conditions.
I got today's recipe from the Dr. Axe web site. He has lots of great recipes and information on nutrition.
Blueberry Pumpkin Pancakes
1 cup gluten free baking mix (I got mine on Amazon)
2 eggs
1/2 cup coconut milk.
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons coconut oil
Combine the eggs, coconut milk and extract in a bowl.
Add together the baking mix, flour and blueberries.
Whisk together. Thin with a little coconut milk if the batter seems too thick. I thinned mine with a couple of tablespoons of coconut milk.
Heat one tablespoon of coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.
Pour 1/3 cup batter to form pancakes on the pan.
Cook until bubbles form on top of the batter and begin to pop. Flip and repeat.
Add the 2nd tablespoon to the pan if needed to finish the pancakes.
Serve warm with a bit of maple syrup.
Makes 6 small pancakes
