Ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats (blended into flour)
- 1 small firm pear, peeled and finely chopped (use ½ cup max for low-FODMAP serving)
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-FODMAP dairy-free milk)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Coconut oil or olive oil spray (for cooking)
How to Make It:
- Blend oats into a fine flour using a blender.
- In a bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the egg, almond milk, vanilla, and maple syrup.
- Stir the wet ingredients in the dry until smooth, then fold in the chopped pear.
- Heat a non-stick pan with a little coconut oil. Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake.
- Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and set in the middle.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a spoonful of lactose-free coconut yogurt.
Quick Tips
- Keep the pear serving at ½ cup total to stay gut-friendly.
- Make a batch ahead of time for post-workout snacks. Simply reheat and enjoy your meal.
- Let the pancakes cool, then sprinkle in Tomorrow’s Nutrition Sunfiber. It blends in easily and supports smoother digestion, helping you stay energized for your next sweat session. Make sure to sprinkle it after the pancake has cooled, as this will destroy the probiotic bacteria and render it ineffective.
