These easy and delicious anti-candida pancakes are great to enjoy if you’re avoiding sugar and gluten – Made with buckwheat and millet flours, NO sugar added.
Anti-candida pancakes, anyone?
Better known to me as, ‘I need bread, like now’ pancakes.
I don’t know what it is about the postpartum period, but it always sends my immune system into a frenzied tizzy.
I’ve had a plethora of symptoms this last time around, more so than any other. One thing I’m battling, yet again, appears to be candida. I haven’t had an official blood test, but with patchy rashes all over, my naturopath seems to think that’s what it is.
Despite my low sugar diet, he says that various immune issues can bring on the fungi….or rather NOT-fun-gi.
I’ve had more testing in the last few months than I have in years, just trying to gather some decent information about what exactly is going on with me.
I’ll be trying a few newer treatments, if anyone is interested?
On Monday, I’ll be going in for an ozone IV. This involves taking some of my blood, infusing it with oxygen, and then re-administering the blood to my body. It is helpful in killing all things fungus, bacteria, and virus. I’m greatly looking forward to it and will let you know how it goes!
Yeast-Free Eating
In other news, I am craving bread like a madwoman.
I don’t typically eat a lot of bread, just the occasional slice of Ezekiel toast with eggs in the morning, but, for the time being, I’ve cut out all yeast.
Enter, gluten-free, sugar-free, candida-friendly pancakes!
Bor-ing, I’m sure, especially if you’re not following a candida diet, BUT!…they’re actually pretty tasty.
Made with buckwheat and millet flours, this is a great, basic recipe that can be dressed up with various toppings, including, coconut oil and cinnamon. If you mix coconut oil with a bit of salt, it’s a great alternative to butter!
If you’re not avoiding sugar, try a 2-to-1 ratio of coconut oil and maple syrup for a delicious topping.

Great recipe! Rich in flavor and healthy. I didn’t have buckwheat or millet so I used almond flour and a bit of finely ground almonds and it turned out great. This is a keeper!
Lauren says
Thanks, Hannah! Glad you found a way to make it tasty for you. 🙂
Kara Stalter says
I made these the other day because I just started the Candida diet and cleanse, and I have eliminated all grains and was going crazy with not being sure what I could/should eat and craving things, so I was super excited when I found this recipe after just purchasing millet and buckwheat flour.
THANK YOU so much! They taste SO yummy cooked in some coconut oil and with a few slices of strawberries to give a little sweetness. Took away my craving for gluten-filled breads!
Lauren says
That’s great, Kara! It’s hard to satisfy that bread craving on the candida diet, so I’m glad this recipe helped! 🙂
Jaimie says
Amazing! I just did 5 spoons of buckwheat as I didn’t have anything else and they came out amazing. In replacement of butter and syrup I poured warmed berries over them. This is a new staple. Thank you!
Andrea Verbeek says
Is there a substitute for millet flour?? We’re on lockdown and would like to make them. Thanks!
Lauren says
Hmm, you could try rice flour if you have it?
Jaimie says
I made them this morning and just did 5 spoons of the buckwheat. Came out perfect.
Stephanie says
How awesome you are trying the ozone IV. How did it go? I have the whole Lyme and Mold infections myself, so thank you for sharing your experiences. The pancakes look incredible to me! The nutrition facts are great.
Lee R says
Can these be baked in oven?

I have never tried that, sorry!
