As my family prepares to start GAPS, I`ve tried a few recipes to “make sure” they understand that we can still eat delicious food. It was a BIG success! The kid said they tasted like pumpkin omelets (which they kind of!) – but in butter with some real maple syrup – delicious!! Summer squash pancakes (zucchini, twisted neck) are a favorite in this home and a long-awaited addition to the extremely curative GAPS introductory diet. Making introductory pancakes to the GAPS diet that stick together and are fluffy can be a trick. Here`s the pancake recipe we used when our family went on the GAPS introductory diet. They also prepare tasty and nutrient-rich snacks. (Recipe inspired by gourmets without cereals) When I tried to make these fun little pancakes in my first intro, they were a complete mystery to me. I want to be able to tell you that when I switched to the full diet 10 days later, I discovered the walnut butter squash pancakes. I eat them every day for breakfast. Absolutely lovely.
Once a week I roast the pumpkin with a little olive oil and make a large amount so I can warm it up in the morning. I use kabocha, butternut squash or buttercup, organic, almost unsalted butter, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and a pinch of salt. I add the yolk to the pumpkin mixture and whisk the white separately, fold it to mix. Fry a few geese, drizzle with honey and you`re good to go! Absolutely wonderful way to start the day. Steps 1 and 2 may seem quite limiting, but step 3 allows the introduction of nut butter/pumpkin butter pancakes. Trust me, they taste fantastic if you`ve been eating mostly soup all day! How smelly, creative and nutritious. I love this recipe. Pumpkin pancakes.
I`m so fascinated. I`ll have to try them. What would you replace for a nut allergy? I know one day I`ll have to try adding nuts to see if I`m still allergic, but in the past I`ve been anaphylactic and don`t feel ready yet. Would work homemade sunflower, pumpkin, linseed butter. Or any other seed. Can you explain the position of the gaps in relation to nut butters (and nuts)? Do they need to be “properly prepared” in the WAPF manner to be legal? Thank you! Yes, the texture is amazing! They are soft and delicate and look like “real” pancakes. I hope you enjoy them! The pancakes will be small and become quite dark because of the hot oil. Yes! One day I tried to have 2 eggs and 3 small pancakes for breakfast and I was so full afterwards! They are really wonderful. “I keep things light. I`m the girl who cooks two soups a week and only eats those because it was the least amount of work.
< – Yes, exactly! I also cook and I am perfectly happy to eat the same thing every day for a week, luckily I also saw the recipe with whipped egg whites and immediately 🙂 thought: "Hmmm, how to make a recipe without extra steps?!" I removed eggs a month ago after feeling them blocking me. I just tried an egg yolk today, so we`ll see how it goes. Maybe I`ll make pancakes next week. Thumb! Thank you very much for this post! These pancakes look delicious, even though I`m not on GAPS. Stay tuned, Mom! You are on the road to recovery!! And when you flip the pancakes, the bottom becomes slightly golden. I`ve noticed that the more fat I use, the less they tan. Don`t worry if they don`t look like traditional golden pancakes – they`ll still taste wonderful. When I first followed the introductory diet, it only took me 8 days to get to the third stage.
But the second time, three years later, it took almost 5 weeks. Both times, I was so excited to finally add something with a little substance, even if it was something as weird as pumpkin and nut butter pancakes. These are our introductory pancakes, and yes, I use zucchini:) OK, I know canned pumpkin is not allowed. I just don`t understand why. I am 100% disabled and my loving 70-year-old husband is my only caregiver. He will do anything for me, but I can`t ask for much more! I`m so glad to hear that, Ashley! I hope you enjoyed them with pumpkin too and will continue to enjoy my GAPS recipes! Happy intestinal healing! 😉 These are now made with pumpkin and peanut butter. What a success! The whole family loved him. In any case, cook at a low level, as recommended by the recipe. They cook slowly, but turn out to be excellent. I think these could really work like bread. Just a hint that this recipe is for people on the GAPS diet, which does not allow baking soda or baking soda of any kind.
So by adding baking soda, yes, it will taste better, but it`s not good for the people at GAPS. If you want delicious gluten-free pancakes, you have to look for a recipe with baking soda. I still loved them. Thank you for the excellent recipe; Do you know approximately how many grams the pumpkin is, if it is raw before cooking, it is equivalent to one cup? Thank you very much. These look very good! Do you know if nut butter can be grilled on Gaps Intro? I couldn`t find one unroasted, except for one brand that is peanut. I would like to use others except peanuts. Raia, I just wanted to thank you. My daughter and I did it today. Their instructions were fantastic and our pancakes looked like pancakes from the beginning. We moved on to Stage 3 today and it was such a good “welcome”.
Thank you for taking the time to publish what you do. It is truly a blessing and help to others! In fact, I prefer the taste of pumpkin or butternut with nut butter. Walnut butter tastes a little weird with the acorn, but that`s just my opinion. I know that`s what`s in all the photos, but they`re so cute I couldn`t help it! Use any squash you want, folks! I`m so happy to hear that you and your daughter enjoyed the pancakes, Julie! Thanks for the information. It`s always very encouraging when people find recipes useful! These ones look delicious! I never get tired of pumpkin, so I could definitely eat it all year round! While simple, cooking these GAPS introductory pancakes is a great exercise in patience. They should be cooked slowly over low heat. This ensures that they are cooked completely with good texture and without combustion. Cooking with a generous amount of fat will also help with this. The good news is that, since they`re so small, you can insert multiple pancakes into your cast iron pan (the one below is a size 6).
Simple pancakes with only 3 ingredients. Tasty and nutritious. Makes about 24 small pancakes. Pancakes don`t bubble like traditional pancakes, so you need to have an idea of when they`re ready. The tops will settle and look like this: In fact, most meals that included nut butter squash pancakes usually included walnut butter squash sponge pancakes. Yes. I had so much trouble baking the pancake-shaped dough that I finally gave up and stirred the dough like eggs. Can you use zuccinni? Can this be used for level 3 pancakes in the intro? I didn`t think it would work, so I tried right away, as a chef by profession, I add maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice, and we had a nice dinner! Thank you! I love the site, since I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis almost 5 years ago, I`m always looking for more information! My kids love all kinds of pancakes, we`ll try them.
On day 11 we present these delicious pancakes that are a treat after 10 days of soup, cooked meat and cooked vegetables! I use a sandwich press for these pancakes and pancakes. Cooks quickly, easily and clutter-free! However, I add a little oil to the dough so that it does not stick. It changed my life (at least my breakfast) We`re not on GAPS, but these still seem like a great way to make our weekend pancakes healthy!!!! THANK YOU! These pancakes keep / freeze really well. Make a large amount to eat throughout the week or save for later. Just heat them with a little fat in a cast iron pan. A small amount of honey could be mixed with melted ghee or coconut oil and drizzled on the pancakes. Only a small amount during the intro. As I was getting ready to make these delicious introductory pancakes to GAPS, I realized. I couldn`t find a recipe. The intestinal and psychological syndrome did not give proportions.
What Can I Eat Now did not contain nuts in one and used peanuts (as opposed to nut butters, as recommended by Dr. Natasha) in another. When I searched the Internet, I was surprised that there wasn`t really anything. *Side note* Throughout the process, I was surprised at how few resources were available, considering how many introductory logs can be found. One of my goals is to fill this gap (no pun intended). But that doesn`t mean GAPS Intro pancakes aren`t an amazing addition to the diet. They are a soup-free food, they taste fantastic, they are easy to carry and they are very nutritious if you tolerate nuts. At this point in the intro, they are a great quality of life. Thank you very much.
I need a lot of help because I don`t know how to cook at all. The recipe SEEMS simple. But I don`t have almond butter. Also, how do you cook pumpkin?i cn get zucchini and pumpkin in my area, but I don`t know how not to use the oven.
