Do you love pancakes, but want a healthier, guilt-free version that won't leave you feeling sluggish, bloated and full?

Then you will love this mouth watering, fluffy pancake recipe that is both gluten free, dairy free and sweetened naturally.  I also offer an eggless option that is equally tasty. That is the way I make them and the family loves them.

This healthy, delicious option will sure be a hit at your next weekend family brunch! 

​Serves 1
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 or 2 eggs (how hungry are you?)
¼ cup veggies (grated spinach, sliced mushrooms, diced peppers, chopped broccoli, tomato or any favorite vegetable.  
dash salt, pepper and/or turmeric
 
Add 1/2 tsp coconut oil to a frying pan and melt on low-medium heat (cast-iron pans are preferred).  Saute' the vegetables.

Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl. Stir gently with a fork until well-beaten. Add spices and set aside.

Heat a 6- to 8-inch omelette pan over high heat until very hot (approximately 30 seconds). Add 1/2 tsp coconut oil making sure it coats the bottom of the pan. Slowly pour in the egg mixture

Tilt the pan to spread the egg mixture evenly. Let eggs firm up a little, and after about ten seconds shake the pan a bit and use a spatula to gently direct the mixture away from the sides and into the middle. Allow the remaining liquid to then flow into the space left at the sides of the pan.

Continue cooking for another minute or so until the egg mixture holds together. While the middle is still a little runny, add the vegetable mixture. 

Tilt the pan to one side and use the spatula to fold approximately one third of the omelette over the middle. Shake the pan gently to slide the omelette to the edge of the pan.

Holding the pan above the serving plate, tip it so the omelette rolls off, folding itself onto the plate. The two edges will be tucked underneath. 

Serve & Enjoy!

​Powerhouse Ingredients to start your day right! 

Each of the ingredients in the recipe offer a variety of whole foods based minerals, micronutrients, and macronutrients that will help your body function at its highest capacity. Check out just a sampling of the amazing ways in which these high energy, low-glycemic ingredients support your body’s systems:
​

• Almond flour. This low-carb, gluten-free flour is an excellent source of potassium, which can help to regulate blood sugar.
• Coconut flour. Coconut flour is a great source of medium chain fatty acids, or MCFAs, a type of energy-boosting fat that can speed up your metabolism and stabilize your blood sugar levels.
• Rolled oats. Oats are the only source of a unique type of antioxidants called avenanthramides, which are believed to protect against heart disease. Purchase certified gluten free oats to ensure the oats did not become cross contaminated when grown and manufactured. Gluten-free oats are guaranteed to be grown on fields that aren’t used to grow gluten crops, shipped in gluten-free trucks and processed on gluten-free equipment.  Commercially sold oats can sometimes be contaminated with gluten if they are mixed with grains like wheat, barley and rye during the manufacturing process.
• Cranberries are an amazingly synergistic superfood, known to protect against cancer and a variety of infections.
• Maple syrup. Maple syrup is a mineral-loaded, all natural sweetener that provides 18% of the recommended daily value of zinc, which plays an important role in immune function. It offers so much more nutrition than refined, ‘empty calorie’ sweeteners like white sugar.
• Alternative options. Also listed are dairy free and egg free options.
