How to Make The Best Paleo Pancakes
I've been battling my weight for most of my life and I blame it on sweets. I used to curse the trays of baked goods on bakery shelves that practically begged me to take them home. Once the pancake craze took over Japan by storm, I was in utter despair as I struggled to walk past pancake restaurants without a second ( or third ) glance.
So I guess it's no understatement when I say that almond flour saved me from jumping off a cliff. All kidding aside, these paleo pancakes satisfy my most intense pancake cravings and they always fill me up without weighing me down. No gluten, no refined sugars and no sugar high to bring me down afterwards. The best thing about these pancakes is that they are easy to make and pretty good as far as paleo pancakes are concerned.
Helpful Tips
- Keep the pancakes around 6 inches in diameter or smaller.
