Gluten Free Pancake

Ever notice that you really want something after being told you can't have it?  I never was a fan of pancakes because I always got a tummyache after eating them.  Since finding out that I'm gluten sensitive what do I crave? You got it - Pancakes!

After trying some ok and some really terrible gluten free pancakes, I found one that is wheat free, sugar free, filling, satisfying, great tasting and fast.  I can have this on the table in 2 minutes.  Literally.

How? The microwave!  Yep, you bake this in the microwave.

The Ingredients

My BFF ground flaxseed takes center stage in this recipe.  I add a little GF flour to give it a better texture, but you can leave it out.  This time I used brown rice flour, other flours also work. I don't recommend soy flour, messes with the flavor.

Spray a microwaveable pie plate with non stick, add the wet ingredients and whisk. 

Combine the dry ingredients in another bowl.

Add them to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. 

Sprinkle with walnuts.

Microwave 1 minute 30 seconds on high.

Enjoy with some sugar free pancake syrup.
