Nutty Cakes

So... a lot of people are scared of wheat and flour right now.

Wheat is awesome and I'll never stop eating it unless at some point I develop Celiac Disease.

I really think you should eat it unless you can't, but I decided to give in and try a gluten free recipe for all the nuts out there that are scared of the lowly grain, wheat.

Nutty Cakes

2 eggs
2 tbsp rolled oats (use the more expensive, specifically labeled gluten free ones if you must)
2 tbsp walnuts
1 ripe banana
1 tsp vanilla

Topping: Berry Syrup
2 tbsp frozen blueberries
2 tbsp frozen raspberries
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp water

Start warming your favorite skillet and spray with oil. In a blender, blend eggs, oats, walnuts, banana, and vanilla until very smooth. Using a spoon, scoop batter into the warm pan. I made sand dollar size pancakes; make them larger if you wish.
While the pancakes are cooking, make the Berry Syrup. In a small sauce pan, warm the blueberries, raspberries, maple syrup, and water. Cook for about 5 minutes until the berries are hot and syrupy.
I topped mine with a few extra walnuts and maybe a tad of whipped cream. Enjoy!
