2. Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pancakes

Many people find relief from some of their MS symptoms by following a gluten-free diet. Give it a whirl with this very seasonal pumpkin pancake recipe. Pumpkins are a great source of beta-carotene, vitamin A, and potassium and are naturally sweet.

Ingredients:
2 large eggs (free range and organic if possible)
½ cup of pureed pumpkin
1 tablespoon oil of your choosing
1 cup blanched almond flour
1 tbsp of either honey or maple syrup
¼ cup of milk of your choosing (almond milk works well)
¼ cup ground flax seed meal
½ tsp of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt

Method:
Start by mixing together all the wet ingredients in one bowl, and all the dry ingredients in another bowl.  Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones using a whisk or an electric hand blender until you have a thick batter. (If you think the batter is too thick, add a little more milk.) Over a medium heat, warm a skillet and add some of the oil, then pour in a ladle full of the batter. Fry until bubbles appear and then flip the pancake over until the bubbles appear on the other side, then cover and store in a warm place. Continue until all the batter has been used. (Makes around 14 pancakes.)
