Grain-Free pumpkin Pancakes

February 1, 2019 by Michelle

These are absolutely AMAZING and a happy accident of my recent experience with arthritis-like symptoms that left me grasping for dietary solutions. After reading several opposing views on anti-inflammatory protocols, I opted for a juice-cleanse followed by an elimination diet and the results were really fantastic, (for those of you interested in the salty details of that, I’ll be posting a blog a little later).

So, during my foray into grain-free living, I discovered two incredible “flours”: green banana flour, very high in resistant starch, and cassava flour. Both are wonderful alternatives to grain-based flours. Banana flour is quite fine and a little darker in color. The taste is quite mild, and it blends really well without imparting any kind of chalky texture. Yummy! Even my 200-lbs bodybuilding husband loves cooking with it. The cassava flour is a little heavier I find, and I prefer to use it in yeast-leavened breads and tortillas. It also has a very mild flavour and is very easy to work with.

Serves: 5
Ingredients
  • I
  • 140 g pumpkin purée (unsweetened)
  • 51 g egg whites
  • 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 120 ml coconut milk
  • 50 g green banana flour
  • 10 g Caramel Explosion
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 g cinnamon
  • 4 drops stevia
Instructions
  1. Blend everything in a small food prep briefly, scraping down the sides if necessary. I like to get 2 small non-stick pans warmed up in medium heat to speed up the process. Just a quick spray of coconut oil and then ladle ⅕th of the batter into each pan. Swirl into perfect circles with the back of a large spoon. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the Hotcakes slide easily in the pan. Flip them over and cook for another minute on the other side.
  2. The recipe makes 5 fluffy cakes. I like them served with my Sweet Icing whisked with a teaspoon of milk so it becomes a glaze. Enjoy!!
