Recipe: Nut Butter Pancakes

This is another recipe that's GAPS and health friendly. Dr. McBride mentions the basic ingredients for these pancakes so it took some playing around to get something yummy and of good texture. Initially she says to use only three ingredients to make GAPS friendly pancakes: almond or peanut butter, butternut squash and eggs.

I did so but they turned out to be quite bland and to make them would be pretty expensive ... almond butter isn't cheap.

So here are two recipes: the basic GAPS pancake recipe and a pancake recipe that would stretch a little farther.

Here they are:

Basic Nut Butter Pancakes

5 eggs
1 cup almond or peanut butter
1 cup chopped butternut squash
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp sea salt
(optional) Stevia to taste or 1 T. raw honey

Blend ingredients together in blender.
Generously butter pan with ghee or coconut oil. (or use butter if you've progressed that far on GAPS)
Cook circles of batter until lightly browned on both sides.


Apple Nut Butter Pancakes (my favorite out of the two)


1 cup almond or peanut butter
10 eggs
2 cups almond meal
2 cups butternut squash
1 large apple, chopped
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 T. coconut oil, melted (optional)
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Mix together in blender.
Generously butter pan with ghee or coconut oil (or use butter if you've progressed that far on GAPS)
Cook circles of batter until lightly browned on both sides.

These apple pancakes are my favorite for sure. They're mildly sweet, filling and nutritious and allow the gut to heal.

These pancakes can be frozen and pulled out for breakfast or for a quick snack.

Happy healing!
