Shrove Tuesday, which heralds the start of Lent in the Christian calendar, is not far off…… This year it falls on February 17th. Traditionally, it is the day when Christians indulge in rich foods and use up the contents of their larders in preparation for the fasting and religious observations of the weeks leading up to Easter. It is now commonly known as ‘Pancake Day’ and is celebrated with all things pancake, whether Christian or not!

Although we mainly make, flip and eat pancakes, we also seem to have a thing for ‘racing’ with them. This involves attempting to out-run fellow pancake racers whilst holding a pancake in a frying pan and trying not to drop it. Pancake races are held across the country in schools and towns, both for fun and to raise money for charity.

As for traditional pancake flipping, I confess that I am no good at all…..  My past incompetence has only lead to disastrous breakages, sticky ceilings and pancake carpets, so I tend to stick to turning them with a spatula…… less fun I admit, but it saves a lot of grief!

Gluten free pancakes are actually pretty easy to make and can be knocked up with a whole variety of flours alternative to wheat. This particular batter is made with home-ground oat flour which if you can tolerate it (some coeliacs can be sensitive to the protein Avenin found in oats), makes for a really healthy pancake.

If you are Coeliac and can eat oats (we are lucky enough to be able to), make absolutely sure your oats are certified gluten free to avoid cross-contamination issues. You can buy oat flour ready ground, but to be honest it is so easy to make (and far cheaper), that I always home-grind and store a stash in an airtight container.

Oat pancakes have a lovely wholesome texture and go well with both sweet and savoury fillings. I am a big fan of savoury pancakes……… they are fantastically versatile on the filling front and can be stuffed with all your favourite ingredients. Mine were filled with sliced baby leek and button mushrooms which had been gently fried until golden, mixed with warm Tuna and topped with a sprinkling of salty Parmesan cheese.

Best of all, these pancakes are a really fun way to get kids to eat a healthy meal. We ate them as a DIY pancake night! My daughter loved the simplicity of making the batter (which only contains good stuff) and really enjoyed cooking them with me, then filling her own pancakes with her favourite sausage, cheese and sweetcorn.

I am sharing my pancakes as my third and final offering to January’s Family Foodies challenge with Lou at Eat Your Veg and Vanesther at Bangers & Mash. These pancakes are very nutritious and make the perfect canvas for your healthy kids to fill with lots more good stuff.

Oat Pancakes (makes 6 pancakes)

Ingredients

75g finely ground oat flour (make as in this post)
pinch fine sea salt
2 large eggs
170 ml milk
vegetable/corn/groundnut oil for frying

Method

  1. Blend or whisk together the flour, salt, eggs and milk until airy and smooth. Blending in a blender gets best results.
  2. Leave to stand for about 45 minutes.
  3. Blend or whisk again for 10 to 20 seconds and pour into a jug.
  4. Drizzle a tiny amount of oil into a pancake pan/small frying pan and wipe off any excess with kitchen towel. Heat the pan over a medium-high heat allowing to get good and hot.
  5. Pour a little pancake batter into the pan and tilt the pan to swirl it round so that it covers the base.
  6. Cook for a couple of minutes and when the underside is golden, turn the pancake over using a silicone spatula (or if you are really clever, flip it!).
  7. Cook the other side for a couple of minutes and then either eat straight away or transfer to a heat proof plate. Cover with another plate to keep warm or cover and place in the oven on a low heat setting until you are ready to eat.

    Resurrected in time for this years Pancake day….can the milk be substituted for Almond milk for our 7yr old daughter who is Milk and Wheat intolerant? Thanks!

      Sorry Gary. Only found this comment today (have been away for a few days) I am sure almond milk would work fine in this recipe…… I hope you tried it anyway, despite my slow response and had a good pancake day feast….. I generally find that non-dairy milks work well in most recipes. For sweeter recipes, coconut milk is also fab!

      Thanks Jac. Pleased to have inspired you! I use Oat flour all the time and grind down a batch of oats probably once a week!

    I've not thought of making pancakes with oat flour, but I can only guess they have a wonderful flavour and texture. Savoury pancakes are so often over-looked on pancake day, but always get my vote! Thanks for linking to Family Foodies 'Healthy Kids' event.

    I have never made pancakes with oats. What a fab idea especially if you are gluten intolerant. Another friend of mine has the same problem and now that she is in her 40s she cannot take much wheat.
    They have said to her that's possibly the result of years of restaurant food on a daily basis. Too rich and too refined. I will send her your recipe, it looks delicious! x

It’s the best gluten free carrot cake I’ve ever had... and it’s certainly up there with the best of the gluten versions too. So if you love carrot cake... this one’s for you 😘.
You know me... If it’s not as good as I can possibly get, it doesn’t leave my kitchen xx

Are Hot Cross Buns without fruit allowed? I think Are Hot Cross Buns without fruit allowed?
I think the answer may just be YES! Even when you’re gluten free 😆. And for all those who asked whether my Incredible Hot Cross Bun recipe could be made with Chocolate Chips instead of fruit? The evidence is undeniable. 
LOOK at these babies! Big... fat... glorious... chocolate chip Hot Cross Buns 😊😘😋👏😁
Yes or no???

Have you ever tried a Goose Egg? 🥚 They are tot Have you ever tried a Goose Egg? 🥚
They are totally yummy with monster yolks that are super-rich and creamy. Each egg is equivalent to 3 to 4 hens eggs. And they make the most incredible Goose Egg Scotch Eggs 😍
They have a really short season from about the end of February to June. And the geese have just started laying. 
We’re really lucky to get our eggs from a wonderful free-range supplier and they always let us know when goose eggs are available. You can use them for usual baking too... I totally recommend them for brownies.
I’ve put a recipe for making Goose Egg Scotch Eggs on the blog... If you see any eggs..: grab them while you can 😘

The ULTIMATE gluten free Hot Cross Buns... When wa The ULTIMATE gluten free Hot Cross Buns... When was the last time you had a perfect Hot Cross Bun? Easter all wrapped up in  a delicious fluffy, spiced, doughy ball, stuffed full of juicy fruit. Best buns ever! No one will ever know these babies are gluten free 😁
I am super proud of this recipe. I honestly didn’t think it was possible to create a gluten free bun with such an incredible texture... and I really didn’t think it was possible to create a Hot Cross Bun that would stay fresh enough to eat 48+ hours after baking... No toaster needed. 😊
But I’ve done it. I’ve pulled it out of the bag. Amazing 👏👏👏
Heads up... When I first started on developing this recipe, I truly wanted to make a simple one-bowl job. But that wasn’t possible. Texture and flavour were the absolute priority and this ultimately meant the recipe had to be carefully crafted  to make this happen. If you want the best, you sometimes have to work a little bit harder. 
But no word of a lie... these are SO worth the effort. 
Even better, I’ve worked out the dough can be frozen part way through the process... which means you can split the batch ready to bake up fresh with little effort later ☑️
Who wants the recipe? It’s now written up and on the blog... link in my profile (click lnk.bio)  #hotcrossbuns #easter #glutenfreehotcrossbuns #glutenfreerecipecreator #glutenfreeuk #glutenfreeeaster #glutenfreefoodporn #perfectbuns #singluten #glutenfrei #senzagluten #coeliacsafe #coeliacuk #feedfeed #feedfeedglutenfree #easterbuns #thebakefeed #huffposttaste #glutenfreealchemist #foodblogger #eeeeeats #bakersofinstagram #glutenfreebaking #foodblogfeed #bakersgonnabake #f52grams #instafood #glutenfreeeats #britainsbesthomecooks_ #worldsgreatesthomecooks

Have you ever tried porridge made with Millet Flak Have you ever tried porridge made with Millet Flakes? I really like it. It makes a nice change from oats and is a great alternative for anyone who can’t eat oats too.
It’s got a nice earthy bite and pairs perfectly with fruit and nuts. I always sprinkle a few cacao nibs on my porridge too. It’s funny how we have ‘must haves’ to go with some foods. 
Have you got a favourite porridge topping?  #porridge #glutenfreeporridge #milletporridge #porridgebowl #porridgewithfruits #cookedtoperfection #porridgewithoutoats #glutenfreeuk #breakfastideas #cookblogshare #coeliacsafe #coeliacuk #porridgeporn #forkyeah #tastemademedoit #eeeeats #instafood #foodporn #foodphotography #healthyfood #healthybowl #porridgepassion #foodblogger
