The Paleo Banana Spiced Pancake

The Paleo Banana Spiced Pancake

To create the ultimate Paleo pancake recipe with bananas centers on the ratio of ingredients. Once you understand the proper combinations to create the perfect Paleo pancake, you can implement other foods. But this recipe is all about how to use the right amounts of bananas and other Paleo minded ingredient to create that ideal fluffy moist pancake many grew up with.

Depending on your personal commitment to living Paleo, this recipe also includes a homemade baking powder that creates the fluffiness sought for pancakes. It is completely optional and a breeze to make. All you need is baking soda and cream of tartar, the amount need for the recipe is minimal. The ratio can be increased and used for other baking recipes that call for a little ump to raise the baked good.

Serve the pancakes with homemade apple or nut butter for a punch of protein. If your diet allows, a touch of pure maple syrup is always invited to top these pancakes too.
