I was in the kitchen all day long today working on recipes for Amber Approved magazine and for a blogger pasta contest using Catelli gluten free pasta.
I enjoy challenging myself to come up with healthy lunch ideas or a spring time salad using all kinds of citrus fruits.
Playing in the kitchen and coming up with recipes exhilarates me. It fills me with energy to have many cutting boards out, chopping a variety of fruits, veggies and herbs as well as my stand mixer beating a gluten and dairy free dough in the background.
It can look like chaos but in the end four new recipes have been developed and photographed.
While in the midst of this chopping and stirring I thought of pancakes.
Yes, pancakes.
I knew I had a banana in the freezer and decided I would make banana chocolate chip pancakes.
You will be happy I did for I am sharing the new recipe with you.
This recipe is gluten free and dairy free but you can switch to cow milk if you want.
This recipe made about 15 medium pancakes.
