If you want to surprise your mother this Mother’s Day try these easy pancakes from scratch. They are low carb and gluten free, perfect for those will food limitations.

I just love these pancakes topped with strawberries and homemade whipped cream on Sunday mornings. That is the day of the week where we have a slower start to our day. Sunday is when we rest up for the week ahead. And what better way to honor that than with these easy to make pancakes using coconut flour.

Trying to find recipes that fit into your particular lifestyle can be a challenge. Ever since I began my gluten free-Keto friendly lifestyle, I’ve had my share of recipe failures. However, like most things in life with a little perseverance you can prevail. These easy pancakes from scratch are a testament to that. They are a great basic recipe to add to your collection.

The ingredients are both gluten free and keto friendly. They are easy to work with, and the resulting batter is thick, giving you full control of spreading it on the hot griddle.

This recipe makes enough for two however if you find you have some leftover they can be refrigerated and reheated.

Top with whatever berries you have. I personally think that strawberries contain the most juice and therefor work best with this recipe. You can even add the berries between the pancakes spreading the juiciness throughout your stack.

However, you cut them up, these from scratch pancakes are a pleasant and healthy surprise when looking for alternatives to American breakfast foods.
