So, I am taking back everything I said a few weeks ago about changing flour and baking mixes, and trying new things.
After some extensive research, I think I have found the perfect combination of flours and starches to work with to make the perfect pancake mix, that also satisfies the paleo diet requirements.
In the past I used sorghum flour, which I recently found out, is high on the glycemic index, can have severe negative affects on blood sugar, and is NOT good for those who are trying to lose weight. Knowing me, this is something I definitely DO NOT want in my mix.
I want to satisfy the needs of everyone. Which is why most of my pancakes are dairy, wheat, and sometimes egg free. I like to make them as allergy friendly as possible, as well as diet friendly, and something that isn't going to hurt the waistband to indulge in a couple!
With that being said, here is what will be in my new mix: potato starch, arrowroot or tapioca starch, coconut flour, and blanched almond flour.
I was trying to avoid using almond flour, simply because of cost. And I was trying to avoid using coconut flour, because I absolutely loathe how it sucks out all of the moisture.
BUT, these will be used in small enough quantities that I think it will be okay for my budget and the "moistness" of the cakes!
I'm so excited to try this out, and hope it produces deliciously fluffy pancakes.
Check back Saturday to see this weekend's piggy pancake!
Oink, oink. Haylea.
