Healthy Gluten Free Oatmeal and Almond Flour Pancakes

These delicious pancakes have been a Sunday tradition with my little girls for years. Over time I've made them in slightly different ways. I may have finally mastered a recipe that truly suits everyones tastes. The good thing about these pancakes is I don't have to feel guilty eating them. I'm able to have loads of energy afterwards and it's on track with my clean eating philosophies.

Oh and did I tell you making them is easy and painless?

INGREDIENTS

This recipe makes about 2 servings

1/2 cup Organic Gluten Free Oatmeal

1/2 cup Almond Flour

2 Organic Free Range Eggs

1/2 cup Almond, Coconut OR hemp milk

1 Tbs Organic Coconut Sugar *

1tsp Vanilla

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup of blueberries or any fruit of choice*

My girl is not included. She insisted on being in the photo since these Pancakes are her Fav!!!

DIRECTIONS:

Grind the oatmeal in a food processor or blender. (I personally use a blender for this recipe.)

Once ground to a powder add all the dry ingredients and stir or blend. Add the liquid ingredients and blend or beat until smooth.

Heat coconut or olive oil on medium to high heat. Pour batter in to small circles on heated grill, pan or skillet. Flip when small bubbles begin to form.

On special occasions I will have a touch of whip cream to the girls pancakes. I personally enjoy them plain or with a dab of Organic dark maple syrup.

Let me know how you do! I'm always open to suggestions on how to improve any recipe I share.

What Doctor's don't tell you after a C-section

I have now been through 2 C-sections since writing this blog post and thankfully I've recovered beautifully from both with the appropriate progressions. For those who are new and are just finding me. WELCOME! First let me say I did NOT want a C-section. I did everything in my power to avoid the first and even the second. I'm a kettlebell fitness strength and conditioning coach who relies on her body to share, teach, educate, and I was under the impression that having to give birth via C-section would and could destroy my body and career. Boy was I wrong! If you're feeing the same way, start by reading this article I wrote many years ago that still applies today! Many people have asked and here is part of my experience. I don't claim to be a medical expert but not only have I successfully healed my C-section, my abdominals are no longer numb, and I've successfully helped others who've had multiple C-sections (even some 20 years ago) find their core aga

Let's Talk About Butts (Butt "on" Workouts)

To lift or not to lift, that is the question. Despite the popular sayings, "Strong is the new Skinny" or "Strong is the New Sexy," there is still a large portion of the female population that will shy away from lifting solely due to their fear of bulking up or building too much muscle. I'm not going to tell you that heavy weights won't help build muscle and I'm not going to deny the fact that some women can build muscle easier than others. Let's start with the photo below. This is a nice example of the female backside that shows two different body types. The woman on the left falls in the category of an ectomorph, which generally means skinny, little muscle, and a very high metabolism. She could probably eat what she wants and stay skinny. If she committed to a butt strengthening and enhancing program, filled with exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and kettlebell swings , developing the butt on the right would still be unlike
