Paleo “baby” Banana Pancakes Recipe

The other morning I stumbled onto an amazing recipe!

We eat paleo most of the time… let’s be honest it’s not 100%! But it is becoming more and more important for our overall health. For my son this is especially important as he is showing some signs (and has been since he was a baby) that he has some wheat/gluten sensitivities.

Anyway, a few weeks ago I remembered it was my turn to bring breakfast to my parenting study. I wanted something that would double as breakfast for me and my son as well. So I whipped up this fun and healthy paleo breakfast!

Paleo “baby” Banana Pancakes! (You don’t have to make them in a small size of course. I just do it for ease of flipping and because my son loves the small size. I love using a generous amount of coconut oil so they fry up and almost get a donut-like consistency. These have been a big hit with my friends’ kids as well!)

They are so delicious and fluffy! It’s hard to make enough for leftovers since my son goes into human vacuum mode.

I hope you and your family enjoy them!
