A gluten free pancake recipe for Pancake Day

A gluten free pancake recipe for Pancake Day

If you are avoiding gluten don't worry, you can still have your pancakes on pancake day, a.k.a. Shrove Tuesday on 13th February. 

This recipe is free from gluten and also also contains some added gut friendly ingredients in the form of apples. You may not be aware of it but apples contain a natural fibre called pectin which helps feed the probiotic friendly bacteria in your gut. 

If you need a sweetener (and you may not, the cinnamon, banana and apple keep these naturally sweet) use natural maple syrup – sparingly.

This makes 6 pancakes, one serving is 2-3.

Enjoy!

Apple and cinnamon pancakes

  • 90g gluten-free oats
  • 55g almonds
  • 250ml almond milk
  • 1 medium banana
  • 2 apples cut into chunks
  • Drizzle of maple syrup
