Wheat-Free Pancakes

It is nice to be back home from our holiday traveling. It is always nice to visit family but our kids thrive on a regular schedule and now that daddy started back to work this week normalcy is back in full force.

In my attempt to make River's diet with less dairy and wheat and soon to be gluten free too, I found this wonderful pancake recipe in the Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book by Jessica Black. The kids really liked it and it is much more healthy too. Here it is.
1/2 cup walnuts ground
3/4 cup spelt flour (soon to be gluten free flour)
3/4 cup rice flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/3 cup water
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Optional- fresh berries into batter

Combine ground walnuts, flours, salt, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt
whisk 1 cup water into dry ingredients, then gradually add the rest of the water until desired consistency. I also added a little bit of honey b/c I do not give the kids syrup. Cook like you would cook pancakes normally. If you decide to do a gluten free flour instead of the spelt then it says you may need to add 1/4-1/2 guar gum or a blended banana.
