Health and fertility benefits of Flax-Coconut Pancakes

Brown rice is a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

1/3 cup brown rice flour (see Note)
1/3 cup white rice flour (see Note)
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons potato starch (see Note)
3 tablespoons tapioca starch (see Note)
3 tablespoons coconut flour (see Note)
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk, at room temperature
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted, plus more for the griddle
Fresh fruit and maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk the brown and white rice flours with the sugar, potato starch, tapioca starch, coconut flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk with the 1/4 cup of coconut oil; whisk into the dry ingredients just until the batter is moistened. Add a tablespoon of milk if the batter is very thick.
Preheat a griddle and brush lightly with coconut oil. For each pancake, scoop 3 tablespoons of the batter onto the griddle, allowing it to spread on its own. Cook over moderate heat until bubbles appear on the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the pancakes until they have risen and are golden brown on the second side, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the pancakes to plates and serve with fruit and maple syrup.
