During our first month of Paleo this was our number one snack food. Now days it is a bit more of an occasional treat. It is really important when you are starting out to have a few go to items that can get you through a craving or extreme hunger moment. This is a great one. These are great as a desert or snack hot and fresh off the griddle but also good chilled for snacks during the week.There are a lot of Paleo pancake recipes out there but the beauty of this one is how simple it is but there are a few things you need to know for success. The thickness of the batter is critical in getting pancakes that set up good and are relatively easy to flip. Green bananas will give you a nice thick batter that will hold form a little better. If your batter is a little thin try adding more almond butter it will thicken things up. It is also important to cook them slowly and wait for the flip as long as possible. I usually set are griddle around 280 degrees but am always tempted to crank it up to 350 for quick results. These can be a challenge to flip especially if the batter is thin or if you have cooked them too fast. I usually use two small spatulas on either side to decrease the occurrence of disaster . Try adding mixed fruit, blueberries, chocolate chunks, or virtually anything you have laying around to make these interesting. I am always trying some new combo.
