Pancake On Up

As if pancakes were not already good, right? But should one have the desire to eat pancakes everyday (not saying or implying that you will), this recipe is for you. And even if this is not you, this recipe is still for you. Before I explain, please exhaust yourself of any awkward looks, eye rolling, or second guessing now. Done? Okay.

These are Paleo pancakes. (You should have no awkward looks, eye rolling, or second guessing left in you to insert here).

For those of you that aren’t familiar with the Paleo lifestyle of eating, it is simply cooking, eating, and enjoying natural foods (foods that our ancestors used to chow on before we started processing everything). It eliminates dairy, salt, refined sugars, grains, and processed oils. Some of you may be smirking, “all of the good stuff, huh.” But as quite the foodie myself, I am here to testify to the delightful tastes of Paleo. I’m guaranteeing that your palette will be immensely enriched, in addition to all the other health benefits that I will only bore you with, should you ask. ;)

On to actual recipe. Amazing taste does indeed come from something this easy, yes.

2 ripe bananas
1/3 cup coconut flour
6 eggs
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1) In a medium-sized mixing bowl smash the bananas until smooth.
2) Add the remaining ingredients and whisk together until well blended.
3) Grease a large skillet or griddle with coconut oil and heat over medium
heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mix per pancake onto the hot griddle or skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side.

They make about 10 pancakes, so if you enjoy planning your meals in advance (join the club), this batter is easily preservable by placing it covered and protected in the fridge until the next morning you would like to pour them over the griddle. Top them with some almond butter and 100% maple syrup and you’ll be talking about them all day - even to strangers.

Not a fan of bananas? Strawberries, blueberries, and raw cocoa powder make a great substitute, or addition. ;)

Sister, have I told you lately that I love you and our Paleon ways?
