Gluten free pancakes. Packed with taste and nutrition.

Oat meal and almond meal pancakes -- ideal for Sunday brunches. I would recommend Trader Joe's for the almond meal, no funny taste or aroma. For oatmeal all you need to do is powder the oats, steel cut or old fashioned quick oats.

The rest of the process is the same as making any other regular pancakes -- Eggs, oil, water, milk, nuts and fruit if you like that.
