Young Living Gluten Free Pancake and Waffle Mix - A Review

I tried the new Young Living Gluten Free Pancake and waffle mix.

A review. My husband and I both loved the taste, and my tummy loved the gluten-free (though I do pretty good with Einkorn anything in moderation). It's made out of gluten-free oat flour, arrowroot flour, garbanzo bean flour, sorghum flour, and amaranth flour.  It has no leavening like some "Bisquick" type products so follow the recipes on the box to add salt, baking, powder, sugar, baking soda, etc. Note:  all three recipes are on the box.
Some tips.  We started with a batch of pancakes following the directions on the box exactly, using avocado oil instead of canola oil. They turned out a bit dry in taste and were VERY crumbly, several breaking apart when flipping. I think this was due to using avocado oil instead of coconut oil or butter and making the pancake too big. The second batch I used butter instead of oil, added an extra dash of vanilla, and made them much smaller (slightly bigger than "silver dollar" size - about 3 inches in diameter). A very tasty success!

We both loved the batter cooked in a Swedish waffle iron but you have to spray non stick spray after every one or they WILL stick and come apart. Also, remember to add the sugar to the egg whites as you whip instead of with the dry ingredients for a fluffier batter.
Don't forget to check the side of the box - there is a recipe for crepes that's really good.

We would definitely purchase again, but trust me on the tips. (To purchase Young Living products either as a retail customer or as a member click on the link on my sidebar to go to their website).
