Pancake perfection starts here with this recipe for light, delicious fluffy cakes filled with fiber and nutrients. We’ve ditched the white flour in favor of gluten-free whole-grain flours, including brown rice, oat, and teff, a traditional Ethiopian grain that’s high in protein, iron, and calcium. And instead of pouring on the syrup, we use just a bit mixed with phytonutrient-rich fresh berries. Feel free to add a dollop of protein-rich Greek yogurt or nut butter, too.
