Tune in and cook your pancakes with me!
Just waking up from a delicious sleep? I am. And the first thing that popped into my mind was pancakes! Fluffy, delicious, nutritious, SUGAR-FREE, pancakes...
Nutritious?!?
Sugar-Free???
Yes, nutritious. In fact, even though I am maintaining a grain-free diet these days it's still possible to eat fluffy, yummy pancakes - it just requires a little creativity.
Yes, sugar-free. If you want to sweeten these fluffy cakes a little more you can add a few large scoops of baked pumpkin, squash or sweet potato to the batter and blend in the food processor (see instructions below). Add 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice and you've got Fall on your plate!
