When many people think Gluten Free (GF), they envision a bland life of rice, eggs, chicken and veggies. This is FAR from the truth! I have many friends who are completely GF (including my husband), and none of them eat boring, bland foods. In actuality, they eat delicious, nutritious, colorful and vibrant foods. Better yet, a majority of them have being able to lose weight (although not the reason many of them have chosen a GF lifestyle), have a more balanced digestive system and increased energy levels.
To honor a none bland GF lifestyle, I’m featuring a recipe that’s easy to make and will change your tune about going Gluten Free.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh organic blueberries
- 2 cups Rice or Quinoa flour
- 2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder (Clabber Girl brand is gluten free)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup diced walnuts or almonds
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil
- 2 tablespoon organic honey
- 1-1/2 cups almond milk
Puttin’ It Together:
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together dry ingredients. In another mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients, except blueberries. Pour wet mixture into dry and stir just until combined and most lumps disappear, fold in blueberries.
- Heat a nonstick griddle to 350 degrees, or medium-low heat in a large nonstick skillet, or until a drop of water sizzles when dropped on. Pour in 1/3 cup pancake mix.
- Turn pancakes over when they begin to dry around the edges and are golden on the bottom. If desired, top pancakes with additional blueberries and drizzle with Agave Nectar.
