Hi hi, I am believing that you're doing well this Saturday. How about comforting you with these healthy, sweet brown rice+lentil gluten free pancakes!

My biggest challenge when I boarded a gluten-free wagon, was to find something healthy to eat.  Gluten-free breads and biscuits are made with ingredients that are very high in the Glycemic Index. Such as potato starch, tapioca, and arrowroot.

Did you know that most people who embrace gluten free diet end up with weight gain? This is because of these commercial food that are void of Nutrients!

I had, therefore, to look for a way to substitute wheat flour yet feeding my lovely kids a healthy diet. As well as to help my Rheumatoid Arthritis

If you're are like me and you do go crazy with pancakes; well I do happen to cook pancakes 3 times a day lol! You'll obviously love these brown rice+lentil pancakes. By the way, who said pancakes are only for breakfast lol?

They're healthy and deliciously sweet. 

Did I say they're simple to make? 

Here's the deal, you soak your brown rice and orange lentils after washing them for at least 12hours.. this is easy, just soak them at night! And in a big bowl please, for these guys swell and they'll feel in your small bowl! Make sure to add a lot of water to soak! 

You rinse them thoroughly, before blending them. 

These brown rice+lentil pancakes comes as a whole dish! loaded with fiber and Nutrients.

Did you know that lentils are high in proteins, vitamins, minerals such as Iron and fiber

Notes

These pancakes I made in a bunch for breakfast and lunch. they yeild 12 pancakes.

Depending with your blender, serving spoon and cooking temperature; your pancakes might not result as mine. 

High speed blender gives a very soft running batter!

I've tried these Brown rice+lentil pancakes with plain water and they were as good as with milk.
