These days, I'm on the hunt for wheat free and refined sugar free recipes. Our family has had to change up the way we eat a little bit, and it's been a challenge, but it's also been fun. Some food we have just given up completely, but for others, I've just replaced the ingredients so we are still able to eat some of our favorites. Pancakes are definitely a favorite that we didn't want to give up at our house. I found a recipe that I was able to modify, and whip up in about ten minutes. These pancakes are wheat free and sweetened with maple syrup or honey. They were delicious served with just butter, but would be tasty with a little syrup or sauteed apples on top too.
Oatmeal Pancakes
2 cups whole oats
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/4 cup real maple syrup or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup diced dried apples (optional)
Place oats in blender and pulse a few times to make oat flour. Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse until mixed thoroughly. Add the apples if you are using them and pulse just to mix. Pour onto a greased griddle or pan and enjoy! This recipe makes about 12 small to medium sized pancakes.
