I find that gluten free pancake mixes can taste a little gritty. This prompted my search for a simple, better tasting, better ingredient, homemade pancake recipe. We love these pancakes in our house. The syrup is already baked in! I make a batch of these, and then reheat them in the toaster oven throughout the week :)
Mix the dry ingredients then add in the wet ingredients. Add the chocolate chips last. In a medium high heat non-stick pan, pour in the mix as you would regular pancakes. These take a little longer to cook, and do not bubble up on the top. I like to shake the pan a little to see if the tops are set. When they are set, then flip carefully!
I've been reading a lot about how gluten free products aren't always a great alternative for those wanting to remove gluten from their diets AND consume foods with a low glycemic index. Gluten free products typically contain rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, etc, which have high GI values. So, I was cautiously excited when I found a recipe for flax wraps. Flaxseed has a super low GI value. I was hoping it would be a good alternative to gluten free sandwich bread. I was beyond excited with the results! The wrap is soft and delicious and I would almost call it a cross between a wrap and flatbread. I love making my almond butter and jelly sandwiches with it. I've made several wraps at a time and they keep very well in the fridge. I've also made a wrap with hummus, hard-boiled egg, avocado, roasted red peppers and kalamata olives, which was to die for.
The original recipe is from the book Wheat Belly. I've modified it slightly to make it a little less savory.
Mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, then combine. On medium high heat, spray a non-stick pan with cooking spray (I use TJs coconut oil spray). Spread the batter around the pan all the way to the edges. Let it cook about 5 minutes, then carefully flip and finish cooking the other side. One note, when making more than one it's best to combine the wet and dry ingredients right before you're ready to pour them into the pan. When flaxseed is mixed with wet ingredients and sits for a few minutes, it becomes very sticky and glue-like and it's harder to spread around the pan. Enjoy!
