Happy Snow Day, Boulder County! We woke up today to over a foot of snow—our first big snow of the season! I was craving something warm, savory, and a bit sweet for breakfast and these pancakes came to mind. I’ve been making them for many years but hadn’t made them in a while, and the day-off from school gave me a more leisurely start to my day (which sounds funny to say because they take less than 5-minutes to make!).

I created these pancakes about ten years ago when I was leading one of my group cleanses and someone asked if there was a “cleanse-approved” pancake. Using only cooked brown rice, these pancakes contain NO flour at all. The cinnamon, vanilla and shredded coconut add a hint of sweetness and for some that is enough. I like them dipped in a small amount of maple syrup, personally 🙂

Give ’em a try and let me know what you think. If you like them, then be sure to try our savory Eggy Rice Muffins as well!
