Cinnamon Nut Pancakes

I like pancakes.  

They are quick, and easy to make, and you can double the recipe to have leftovers to freeze, which makes for a quick breakfast down the road.  Just pop one in the toaster, and you are good to go.   

I particularly like this recipe because it reminded me of IHOP’s Harvest Grain and Nut Pancakes; something different from the plain pancakes out there.

Dry ingredients
  1. 1-1/2 cups rolled oats, gluten free (works with regular as well)
  2. 3/4 cup sorghum flour
  3. 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
  4. 6 tablespoons potato starch
  5. 3/4 t xanthum gum
  6. 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  7. 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  8. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  9. 1/2 cup pecans
  10. 1/2 cup walnuts
  11. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet ingredients
  1. 2 cups coconut milk (I use So Delicious unsweetened)
  2. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  3. 1/2 cup oil
  4. 1 tablespoon ground flax seed mixed with 1/4 cup hot water
  5. 1/2 cup honey
  6. optional: 1/2 cup frozen huckleberries, dried currants, or mini chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Place oats in a blender and blend until like flour; put in large bowl. Place nuts in blender until very finely chopped. Combine with remaining dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Pour coconut milk a quart-sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until slightly warm (this makes whisking in the honey easier). Whisk in remaining wet ingredients until combined.
  3. Pour wet ingredients over dry and stir until combined.
  4. Ladle 1/3 cup amounts onto preheated griddle and cook for 2-4 minutes per side.
Notes
  1. I have also made this nut free by substituting 3/4 cup of pumpkin seeds for the nuts.
  2. Something that I like to do in the fall is substitute canned pumpkin for the oil, and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon. Amazing with mini chocolate chips mixed in.

Cornmeal Pancakes, GF/EF/DF

When I first began cooking gluten-free, I was sorely disappointed with the pancake recipes out there.  Pancakes were always so nice for a quick dinner, but the gluten-free recipes I tried were either bland, gummy, or both.  The gumminess was the most disheartening; no matter how long I cooked them, it was as if they never cooked through.

That is where this recipe comes in.  Cornmeal pancakes, or Johnny cakes, offer a great alternative because of the smaller amount of flour.   The result: flavorful and gummi-less pancakes at last!  In fact, I would say these are downright fluffy.

Ingredients
  1. 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  2. 1-3/4 cup So Delicious Coconut Milk, unsweetened
  3. 1-1/4 cup cornmeal
  4. 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  5. 6 tablespoons sorghum flour
  6. 5 tablespoons potato starch
  7. 1/8 teaspoon xanthum gum
  8. 2 tablespoons sugar
  9. 2 teaspoons baking powder
  10. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  11. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  12. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place cooling rack on baking sheet and place in oven (to keep pancakes warm).
  2. Whisk coconut milk and lemon juice together. In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix 1-1/4 cup of the lemon juice/coconut mixture, cornmeal, and coconut oil. Cover and microwave for 90 seconds. Set aside for 5 minutes, keeping it covered. Get griddle preheating on medium-low heat.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together sorghum flour, potato starch, xanthum gum, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Whisk remaining lemon juice/coconut mixture into cornmeal mixture. Mix in dry ingredients. Set aside for 3 minutes.
  5. Spray griddle with non-stick spray or lightly brush with oil. Place 1/4-cup amounts of batter on griddle. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly golden brown.
  6. Serve. My favorite way is with strawberries and honey.

Microwaving the cornmeal softens the grains quite a bit.  Combining lemon juice with So Delicious Coconut milk provides the necessary acid to react with the baking soda to provide lift.

This is a new favorite recipe for me because I have all of these ingredients on hand all the time.  It’s one that can be done quickly too.  So quickly that I am entering it in the So Delicious Fast and Fresh Dairy-Free Time Trials Contest in the 15-minute category.
