The last couple of years my family and my husband’s brother’s family have taken a family vacation to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. My kids love Gatlinburg. First we take our camper and we are camping, or glamping and then there is so much to do in Gatlinburg. We have yet to do everything one could possibly do there, I think that would take many trips. A discovery we made our last trip was the Pancake Pantry. There are tons of pancake restaurants in the Gatlinburg area but this is the place my family will be and many other families come back to year after year. My family loved their pancakes. I wish they had some gluten free ones that I could have tried but they didn’t. I was able to try their peanut butter syrup that my kids ordered with their pancakes and oh my goodness it was good. I decided that I needed to figure out the recipe to make at home.

Gluten Free and Paleo Almond Flour Pancakes
Not a new years resolution but this month I decided to do a trial of the gluten free diet to see if it would help with some of my autoimmune issues. My husband has been doing a modified paleo diet and our family eats a pretty healthy diet, I was ready. So far I am 2 weeks down and I am doing ok. I have to admit though I have had some crazy cravings. Add to that it isn’t that much fun watching your family eat things that are so delicious when you can’t eat them also. So I have started searching for gluten free substitutes. There had to be a solution and there was. There are a wide variety of gluten free flours that you can by and I am slowly starting to experiment with them. First up has been Almond Flour. A year ago I made some Paleo bread for friends along with some macaroons but that is where my experience with almond flour ends. I was unsure if I could really turn almond flour into pancakes and if I did how they would turn out. I was happily surprised. These pancakes were quick and easy to make and delicious. They were denser than a typical pancake but that is to be expected with the almond flour. Try them for yourself! You are going to love these Gluten Free and Paleo Almond Flour Pancakes!
