Fat Free, Dairy Free, Whole Wheat Pancakes

Sun, Aug 7, 2016

I love this starch-based diet (see Dr. John McDougall’s The Starch Solution)! Whether you’re starch-based, or not, who doesn’t want carbs on a Sunday morning? Here’s a pancake recipe I’ve modified from one I found online.

Note: If you are eating gluten-free, you may wish to substitute your favorite gluten-free flour for the whole-wheat flour.

Fat-Free, Dairy-Free, Whole Wheat Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole-wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or cane syrup

Instructions

• Mix the dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl.

• Combine the water and syrup and stir into the dry ingredients until “just mixed”.

• Let the batter sit for 10 minutes.

• Preheat non-stick skillet while batter is “sitting”.

• Cook in 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup portions over medium heat (test for water droplets to bounce on the pre-heated skillet).

• When bubbles appear in the middle and the pancakes are cooked on the first side, flip to cook on the other side.

• Serve with jam, maple syrup, or cane syrup.

• Makes 6-8 pancakes.
