My yum vegan, gluten-free pancakes! :)



If you're trying to wean yourself off that pesky bread... then let me show you a brill – and yummy – pancake that will satisfy all those cravings for stodge. This is super easy and quick to make.

Recipe:
Millet/Rice/Fava bean flour (your choice – just anything gluten-free).
Rice milk (quinoa milk or nut milk will do fine too – but rice milk will satisfy that sweet tooth).
Flax seeds (to replace eggs as the binding agent... and make your skin baby smooth! :)
Coconut oil for cooking (not only does coconut oil make the pancakes taste sweeter but it's also the only oil that doesn't become a carcinogenic trans fat when heated).

Steps:
Put the flour into a bowl - as much as you like! :)
Add two tablespoons of ground flax seeds.
Add rice milk until the mixture becomes liquidy.
Add a spoon of coconut oil to the pan.
Pour in the mixture and cook on both sides until golden brown! :)

Et voila!! :) An extremely yum bread-replacement.

Sweet topping:
Blend together your choice of fruit... banana, mangoes or berries will be truly delicious. Add a squirt of lemon juice and it's yummy to the tummy! :) (I used a banana, goji berries and pumpkin seeds in the picture above).

Savoury topping:
Slice an avocado, add grated carrots, chopped herbs and sprinkle with sprouts and a dash of salt... or just add your usual bread topping like Marmite... Mmmmm :)

Tips:
Millet flour will be sweeter but if you want something more savoury, use fava bean flour.

This is a great recipe to use if you're transitioning to a raw food diet... Once you wean yourself off the bread and transition to food like this, your body will soon give you the signal to cut out the pancakes altogether and stick to the yum fruit and veggy toppings! :)

Happy eating! :)
