How my Fluffy Oat Flour Pancakes came to be
There is a massive fad sweeping the country.
Everything is ‘gluten-free’ now.
Heck, they think it’s something great to advertise that bottled WATER is gluten free now.
Uh, no duh?! If there was gluten in it before, we have a much more serious problem than any of us even knows. 😛
Normally I either run from a fad or sniff it out to reveal how faulty it is. However, after 10 months of pure misery nursing my sweet baby boy, I finally figured out that going off of gluten could actually radically help (once we addressed the root cause).
Like, by day 2, the pain was almost entirely gone.
After about a month, I slowly allowed gluten back in, mostly in ancient grain forms like organic spelt and sprouted wheat and had no trouble. I was afraid that after this little one came I might have to go back to gluten-free for a while but I didn’t.
Even now I like to go GF once in a while. When I do I can always go back to this recipe, my breakfast smoothie, or my oat flour pumpkin bread when I’m craving breakfast or a treat.
I love ‘To Your Health‘ flours and found myself with 20 pounds of their organic sprouted oat flour in my little chest freezer. (Don’t judge, when you find a sale on this stuff, you don’t pass it up!). 😉
Now remember, oat is still a grain. It is, however, (in this brand, and other unadulterated brands) gluten free and safe for those who only react to the gluten in wheat/wheat relatives (spelt, einkorn, kamut, etc.).
When I was having issues, I only focused on cutting out gluten. I still had organic sprouted oats/oat flour, sprouted California Blonde rice and millet occasionally.
This Fluffy Oat Flour Pancakes recipe is a modification of my spelt modification of a recipe that was similar to one I grew up with. 😛 We love it! The texture is the same as a normal pancake, only maybe slightly more dense. It’s certainly a hearty pancake that goes great with real maple syrup, eggs and sausage. Mmmmm.
Easy gift idea: Sometimes we mix up the dry ingredients, place in a fancy Ball jar, and make up a cute tag with the rest of the recipe on it. It’s been a real hit, so you’re welcome for the idea. 😉
Please enjoy, and when you make them, let me know how they turn out in the comments below! Again, as with this recipe and every other recipe on my page, all pictures are my own, as I really did (and do!) make these. 😉
