Dairy free apple pancakes

Kelly & I want to make weekend mornings into dairy free mornings!  First we start with this...

And now- for the first time we are all going to have the same breakfast together!  I wanted to try this recipe (sans walnuts of course).  

Since many allergy free recipes are gluten free- I just simply used whole wheat flour instead of coconut flour.  I also added another 1/4 C. Flour to make up for the lack off walnut dust.

I used coconut oil and also egg substitute.

I think next time I would use apple sauce or a flax egg as an egg substitute to ensure the texture for the pancakes.  

So we got started- 

Not bad!  

We all enjoyed delicious dairy-egg free apple pancakes!

So- this is a blog about successes and failures- so I can't say that this is a complete success.  

We served the pancakes with strawberry slices.  Shortly after breakfast kason started to get some redness under his eye & red dots around his mouth.  Even though he loved the pancakes, it doesn't mean they love him.

We've narrowed it down to the honey, vanilla or strawberries.  Oddly, we had noticed before that kason sometimes reacts to strawberries- but not always and not to jam.  Maybe we need to clean the fruit better?

So- now begins the trial of narrowing down what gave this minor reaction to kason.  The story of every meal for us.

A little frustrating that little successes come with failures, so you have to be a glass half full kind of allergy parent or else you will always feel defeated by the allergies.  Kelly & I are naturally very competitive, so we will not be defeated!
