I love pancakes! And when I began my gluten free, sugar free, dairy free journey, I thought they would be a treat in the past. Then I was introduced to Pamela’s gluten-free pancake mix (iherb.com $5 off with code YAG326) which makes amazing pancakes by any standard. I would melt berries with some palm sugar to top or just use fresh chopped berries, but honestly I just wanted some darn 100% pure maple syrup!!! If you don’t know, maple syrup is extremely high in natural sugar as is honey and candida loves them as much as I do. So I tried making a palm sugar syrup by simmering 1 part water to 2 parts palm sugar and that was good, but I was still jealous of my husbands maple syrup smothered pancakes… Finally I ordered Lakanto from BodyEcology.com (they offer great products for people struggling with candida like culture packets, fermented coconut water, digestive aids…..) and when I opened that bag the first thing that popped in my head was that it smelled just like MAPLE SYRUP!!! Yay:D So here’s what I now use to top my hot cakes with…. Enjoy!
- 2 Tbsp organic unsalted butter
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup Lakanto
- 1/2 cup palm sugar
Place butter in a medium saucepan and melt. Add water, lakanto and palm sugar and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and simmer for 20 or more minutes or until the mixture begins to thicken. Turn off and it will thicken a little more as it cools. Place in a heat safe glass jar and place in the fridge. It will harden and butter will rise to the top, so when I need to use it again, I just heat up some water in a saucepan and place the entire jar in the hot water to re melt the syrup.
*You can always add a little more butter or play around with amount of palm sugar and lakanto. This is just the consistency I like it.
