Grain Free Pancakes

This is really about getting back to what we are designed to eat.  Grains are not a part of the natural diet of our ancestors, our bodies find it very hard to digest and cause inflammation in the body especially gluten containing grains. If you do choose to eat grains eat in moderation and prepare properly. Sprouted, soaked  and fermented grains and legumes are best digested and will reduce weight, gas and bloating. Rice, quinoa, millet, amaranth and buckwheat are all gluten free grains that can be eaten without much disturbance to the digestive system although don't over do it. These pancakes have no grains and use coconut flour instead. They are great for breakfast as they will not spike your blood sugar levels and are perfect for a little snack.
