4 Steps Delicious Oatmeal Flour Pancakes (Gluten & Dairy free)
Warning! These oatmeal flour pancakes are magnets. You may make them twice to thrice a week to meet your children’s demands!
The first time I made oatmeal flour pancakes, my children rejected it. GF-flour pancakes were their first introduction to pancakes.
So it was just so wrong. After wasting enough expensive organic oat and almond flour, I got tired and stopped!
I didn’t attempt another one until recently when I discovered this lovely recipe by Dani Spies of Clean & Delicious.
The pancakes were fluffy, and yummy with a light sweetness and my children finished everything before I could say GLUTEN-FREE!
Before we get into the recipe, let me briefly address the role of diet in managing autism.
Autism and Diet: A Quick Overview
While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to autism management, some people and families have discovered that dietary changes can help. One popular dietary intervention is to eliminate gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye) and dairy products from the diet.
Gluten-Free Goodness: Gluten-free diets eliminate the protein gluten, which some people with autism may be sensitive to. We can enjoy delicious meals while avoiding potential discomfort by using gluten-free alternatives such as oats, rice, or quinoa. It’s like discovering a flavor-filled path to happy tummies and content minds.
Dairy-Free Delights: Dairy products can be another dietary consideration for people on the autism spectrum. Some autistic people may have digestive issues or dairy sensitivities. We can still enjoy the creamy goodness by exploring dairy-free alternatives such as almond milk, coconut yogurt, or vegan butter.
It is critical to note that dietary interventions for autism should be carried out in collaboration with healthcare professionals and tailored to individual needs. Everyone is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. It is all about striking the right balance and promoting overall well-being.
Back to those delectable Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Oatmeal Pancakes! This recipe calls for whole-grain oats, plant-based milk, and a dash of love. They’re not only delicious, but they’re also a nutritious way to start your day.
Let’s get into it. Enjoy!
