Foodie Friday Recipe: Paleo Pancakes

You don’t have to say goodbye to pancakes forever just because you’re on the Paleo diet! Try these delicious Paleo pancakes when you get that craving for a short stack…

While there are plenty of yummy breakfast options for Paleo eaters (eggs & bacon, anyone?), sometimes you just crave a hot, delicious, stack of fluffy pancakes. Unfortunately, pancakes are simply off the table if you’re on a Paleo diet…or are they?

Paleo pancakes to the rescue!

While these pancakes may not be made with quite the same ingredients as in your pre-Paleo days, they provide a very acceptable and delicious replacement.

The recipe below is full of plenty of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, and it’s made with healthy and Paleo-acceptable ingredients like coconut flour, coconut oil, raw honey (yes, raw honey is Paleo), and almond milk (you could also use coconut milk for a richer flavor).

Garnish with fresh fruit, or serve drizzled with real maple syrup. Yum!
