We have been hit!  With a snowstorm that is.  Yes, don’t we all just love being snowed in, endless hours with our children, getting them bundled, building snowmen and sledding!  I’m lucky to have a husband who is a “big” kid and loves doing all of

I’m going to let you all in on a super secret blend I use on everything. I debated whether or not to keep this to myself, but thought it would be nice to share so others can enjoy. Although I do like traditional 5 spice 

Gluten Free Pancakes

Gluten Free Pancakes

I love pancakes, and making them from scratch is a major money saver.  Sure there are pre-made gf mixes on the market now, but at $3-5 a box, is it really worth the convenience? Not to mention most of them are loaded with unwanted sugar.  This batter is a cinch to throw together and tastes great.  Feel free to fold in your favorite additions:  nuts, blueberries, or chocolate chips!

Gluten Free Pancakes

  • 1/2 cup of butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice: regular, almond, coconut
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond flour, packed
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  1. Whisk together butter and milk.
  2. Add eggs, lemon juice or acv and honey.
  3. Add flours and baking soda.
  4. Heat griddle and grease with butter or coconut oil.
  5. Drop batter and slightly spread and flatten batter.  *batter will be somewhat thick*
  6. Cook on low to medium heat, making sure they hold their shape and are cooked around the edges before attempting to flip ( if you cover them with a lid while cooking they will cook more evenly and quicker)
  7. Serve immediately. Try it with some of my homemade strawberry sauce or Coconut Caramel Sauce, which is my personal favorite :)

So there has been a recent debate in my home with my husband about what kind of syrup to give our kids.  He doesn’t really like to share his special maple syrup that his father brings him from Canada.  And of course I refuse to

So if you haven’t already noticed I’m addicted to chocolate.  I’m not going to try and hide it, but let’s just say I am very glad that it is something I can still eat.  On a side note, I might eat it too much.  With this
