A trio of pancakes topped with scrambled eggs, pomegranate molasses and za’atar. Salmon and cooked prawns with avocado and baby rocket.

Pancake filed with frozen berries and fresh mangoes and bananas, then drizzled with pure maple syrup.

I have been trying for a while now to create a crepe and pancake batter that is totally gluten, dairy, sugar and yeast free that tastes delicious. I finally succeeded in making one that tastes so good, is pliable and not dry. The children loved it, it was a hit. I ended up making it twice this week for both breakfast and brunch. My ingredients were all organic and I promise that the end result was tastier and more filling than a white flour pancake.

You can thin it to create crepes, or make it a bit thicker for pancakes. Top it up with your favourite toppings, and serve it either sweet or savoury.The options are limitless, I have filled them with fresh fruits, and also fetta, mozzarela and coriander, while still in pan until the cheese has melted. (picture below).

If you want your pancakes for sweets, add an extra 1/4 cup coconut flour and 1 teaspoon of your favourite natural sugar, such as coconut sugar or agave syrup.
