One of my favorite features of Facebook are groups. You can join a group for just about anything. Right now I'm in a great challenge group where we are trying to eat paleo, or paleo(ish) to be more precise. A few exceptions are made to make the menu a little more palatable. In addition to having people to hold you accountable it is a great place to go for recipes. Last weeks recipe was courtesy of a fellow group member, as is this one. With just a few tweaks to match the recipe to what was in my pantry I made another attempt at grain-free pancakes.
These pancakes turned out to taste very good. My 2 year old taste tester scarfed one down. The only tweak I made to the recipe was that I added a little more flour in because the blueberries were a little wet. That being said this is a solid contender for a good grain free pancake. The original recipe calls for hazelnut flour which I think would be fantastic. When I track some down I will definitely try them again. Before the whole family tries these out they may call for a few more options but this recipe is a solid contender for my go to pancake recipe.
