If you have been looking for a gluten-free pancake recipe I encourage you to try this one. I am not going to lie, they are not light and fluffy but they are super tasty and super handy if there are any celiacs or gluten-sensitive folks among your friends and family members.
It uses ingredients you are likely to have in your pantry, takes very little effort (provided you remember to soak the grains overnight) and the result is delicious, protein-rich pancakes.
Freeze a bunch and have them on weekday mornings when you need extra help getting your family members out of bed. Serve with your favourite nut butter and maple syrup or jam.
