Truly Low Carb Pancakes

Submitted by MNLisaB

"Real pancakes, no pork rinds or soy flour- made with almond flour, baking powder, eggs, etc. I experimented with a combo of recipes and came up with a winner. I added pecan pieces to the batter, you could add blueberries or anything to make your favorite pancakes."

These were good. I have made both these and the "pork rind" ones. They both were enjoyable. I make these more like crepes. I make the other's in my "pro waring" waffle iron. We love crepes as there are so many uses for them. The second time I forgot the vital wheat gluten. Found out that it is "vitally" important. It is great to find so many good and different recipes for the "low carb" diet. I am diabetic and it makes all the difference in stabalizing and controlling my blood sugars. Thank you.
