Sprouted Oat Pancakes

…“You give them something to eat.”… Mark 6:37 (NKJV)

I love this verse that Jesus told His disciples, “You give them something to eat.”  Jesus reminds me to not grow weary while doing good, to keep feeding my family, and to keep inviting ladies to tea with the King of kings.

Often on the Sabbath day, we have more time in the mornings, and like to make pancakes for breakfast.  We’ve tried several gluten-free recipes and found these sprouted oat flour pancakes to be delicious. They turn out fluffy, too!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sprouted oat flour (we use One Degree)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tarter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup almond or goat’s milk
  • 2 fresh eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (optional, or use sugar substitute)
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • Butter or coconut oil for frying

Directions:

Mix dry ingredients in one bowl (flour, baking soda, cream of tarter, and salt).  Mix wet ingredients in another bowl (milk, eggs, maple syrup, and lemon juice).  Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients and mix until blended.  Heat griddle or frying pan to medium-high. Melt butter or coconut oil in pan.  Use a 1/3 cup measure to scoop batter onto the frying pan.  Fry a minute or two on each side until golden brown.  Turn down the heat under the pan if it gets too hot.  Serve with more maple syrup, blueberries, or apricot fruit spread. Makes approximately 15 medium pancakes.

“Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Matthew 24:45–46 (NKJV)

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.  Galatians 6:9 (NKJV)

Yummy Breakfast Quinoa

Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord has said: ‘Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until morning.’ ” Exodus 16:23. (NKJV)

Ingredients:
4 cups leftover cooked quinoa
2 cups coconut milk
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup chopped apricots

Lightly grease a casserole dish with coconut oil.  In a mixing bowl, stir together the quinoa, pecans and apricots.  Transfer to prepared casserole dish.  Pour coconut milk over quinoa mixture, and cover the dish with glass lid or foil.  At this point you may put it in the fridge overnight, or bake it.  Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Warm quinoa for about an hour.  Serve topped with additional coconut milk, cinnamon, maple syrup or honey.  What a yummy, high-protein breakfast treat!
