When doing the true GAPS diet from start to end, the first baked good allowed/suggested is nut pancakes (in stage 3). Why I haven't made them yet? Who knows :P Maybe because the GAPS book doesn't actually give a recipe...just the ingredients (no amounts). But I did a little searching and found a few versions. I made a small batch yesterday to try. So easy!! And very good. I used some leftover roasted summer squash in mine. It wasn't totally pureed and still had some seeds...and they still turned out great. Rebecca and I both liked them (Justin hasn't tried them yet). They only take a few minutes to make. Great snack to have on hand when I need something more solid/filling. And they work well in place of bread/buns. I used one last night for an open face sandwich (with
cashew avocado chicken salad). So good. I'm anxious to try them as hamburger buns. And just as regular pancakes too. I like how simple they are...and you don't have to add sweetener. I'll be making these often now. I'll have to make a bigger batch and freeze them to have on hand.
GAPS Pancakes (nut butter pancakes)
makes 8 - 10 small pancakes
2 - 3 Tbsp. squash or zucchini, deseeded, pureed
2 - 3 Tbsp. nut butter
2 eggs
Mix all ingredients together. Fry in butter or ghee on hot skillet.
I have made nut butter pancakes once. They were yummy. The "recipe" I saw suggested beating the egg white and then adding in the yolk and nut butter. Your's look plenty fluffy, though. Good idea to put the zucchini in them!
