Chia seed pancakes

Paleo Superfood Pancakes

Bonus! You can make these pancakes gluten free!

It never fails, every weekend my boys ask me to make them pancakes and I willingly oblige as I recall the comfort it brought me and the love I had in making pancakes for myself when I was just a kid! During quarantine however the pancake mixes I liked were often sold out for weeks at a time, so that was my cue to create my own recipe and now I’m happy to share it with you!

I always cut blueberries in half and scatter them in each pancake before flipping them over for some extra antioxidant nutrients just to combat some of those harmful free radicals our bodies produce due to environmental pressures. And that little blueberry still warm from the skillet bursting in your mouth adds so much flavor to each bite. You can also make these totally gluten free by only using almond flour, it all depends on your family’s needs and what you have in your pantry at the moment. That’s what I love about this recipe, some weekends I make it entirely with all purpose flour and other weekends gluten free with just almond flour and it works perfectly both ways!
