Banana Pancakes

Let me start by saying I love breakfast, and I have no shame in admitting that I’ve eaten breakfast food for every meal of my day on more than one occasion. My go-to favorite is eggs over medium paired with bacon and avocado—but sometimes it’s fun to be a little indulgent. Sometimes you just need pancakes.

When choosing your banana you can go one of two ways. A ripe banana will make your pancakes sweeter and higher in natural sugar. A green banana will make your pancakes less sweet and will be packed full of gut-healthy resistant starches. Choose according to your dietary needs and/or weight loss goals.

These pancakes are featured in the book Paleo Girl.
