Like blueberry pancakes, hormones get made in one part of the body and their influence affects the whole body…like pancakes. When you make pancakes in the kitchen, your whole house is going to smell like pancakes and everyone in the house is going to want to eat your pancakes – especially if you use this dairy-free, gluten-free blueberry pancake recipe.
Pancakes can take over every craving you have, just like hormones can interfere in every thought, craving, metabolic function and mood.
So what exactly is a hormone? Well, a hormone is a little chemical, a protein, that can turn our world upside down when out of balance.
Usually, when it comes to hormones, we think of the sex hormones. Did you know that insulin is also a hormone? As is adrenalin and cortisol? What about the thyroid hormones?
It takes only a squeaky, small amount hormonal release to have rather far and wide sweeping effects inside the body. These range from metabolism to mood swings, hunger cravings to libido changes, to immune system dysfunction to inflammation. We try so hard to keep ’em all in balance and yet, it’s challenging. Now, in 500 words or less, I am obviously not able to give you all the answers but I can give you a sweet little summary of common hormonal disruptors.
While you consider it, dig in to these low-glycemic, highly delicious, cinnamonarrific, high fibre, antioxidant decorated, gluten-free blueberry pancakes.
These pancakes may bring your neighbours running, long lost loves back into your life and you children/parents may suddenly show up unexpectedly. You’ve been warned!

Pinch of salt
1 egg or egg substitute
1 Tbsp coconut oil, plus a little more for frying
1 Tbsp honey
about 1/4 water or milk sub of choice – depends how thick you like your pancakes and how long you let the batter sit – the flax will absorb water as it sits
