Pancakes
Gluten and Dairy Free, Vegan

Flip 2022 to 2023 with these delicious pancakes!
Pancakes are perfect. Easy and fun to make (kids love to help in the kitchen!),
(My daughter and grandmother in the kitchen in the 80's)
this recipe will suit most diets: no gluten, no dairy, no eggs and no bananas!
You'll need oat flour. (Anthony's is a great brand and it's a large amount. If you prefer a smaller bag, try Bob's Red Mill or Arrowhead Mills.) If this isn't a pantry staple of choice, grind yer oats in a power blender (my Vitamix has a separate dry grains container.) Weigh out the oats first. If you don't have a kitchen scale, get one. Here's an inexpensive one you can buy in the U.S.
I've been digging ground vanilla over extract of vanilla. It's gluten free, authentic and rich. I like this one. Use half the amount of ground vanilla. Or, use extract!
Unsweetened: omit syrup. Keto, sugar free: try some Lakanto monk fruit maple syrup. Low glycemic and lower calorie.
Dress these up with fresh fruit, apple butter, jam, nut butter, sunflower butter, tahini, or old-fashioned, maple syrup.
IMHO, never too many pancakes! Why not double the recipe because these freeze beautifully and you'll have them on hand for pancake panic attacks. Before freezing: cool completely on a rack. Layer between sheets of waxed or parchment paper, wrap in heavy duty foil or in silicone or freezer bags before freezing. Reheat, directly from the freezer in a toaster, a toaster oven, your air fryer or microwave oven.
Simple and simply satisfying. Healthful, too!
MLBH recommends: get your Covid booster! During this holiday season, it's not a bad idea to mask up again.
Hurray for the January 6th Select Committee!
Here's to hope, peace, return of democracy, love, ease and pancakes!
Happy 2023!
peace and love,

Pancakes
Equipment: Blender, Non-stick griddle or large non-stick skillet
Ingredients:
Procedure:
Combine all ingredients in your blender and blend until mixed. Batter will be fairly thick.
Heat non-stick pan (MLBH truc: Test drive with one pancake to get heat and cooking time set.)and, using a pancake pourer (I love mine) or a ladle, pour enough batter (about ¼ to 1/3 cup) onto heated non-stick skillet or flat sauté pan. With the back of a spoon, using q circular motion, smooth into a round pancake.
If batter is too thick, adjust by adding a small amount of milk, a little bit at a time.This is a thick batter, but it should be thin enough that after a few minutes,bubbles appear and the pancake appears to become ‘dry’, when it’s time to flip to the other side to complete cooking. Remember to begin with a single pancake to get your pancake groove on.
