Banana Paleo Pancakes

Zamani, my Godson enjoying his Paleo pancake.  All that is left is one little piece on the tray and a piece of strawberry. 


I am trying to get back to my cooking after a two week trip to El Salvador and then dealing with the death of my mother.  It has been a difficult past few weeks.  Part of coping with the loss of my mom is focusing again on my health and self care.  Also I feel good knowing I am following her legacy of cooking good food for my family.  I have been feeling so down that I didn't want to do my usual exercise and I haven't been cooking.  So, with the determination to get myself back on track, I have decided to start with breakfast foods.  I also haven't been able to get back to cooking because I have been caring for my dad and just haven't been in my own home to plan meals, etc.

So anyway, these are pancakes I made for my dad.  He loves his "sweet bread" in the morning, so I'm trying different alternatives.

Ingredients:
2 bananas
3 eggs
1/4 cup almond flour (I added a bit more - check for yourself the consistency you want.  I wanted a bit of a thicker consistency because this consistency is almost crepe like).
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp sea salt
2 TBS raw honey
1/2 TBS vanilla
1 TBS coconut oil

Directions:
1.  Add all ingredients to the blender and blend on high until smooth.
2. Add a bit of the coconut oil to the skillet.
3. Pour batter onto the skillet.   Use about 1/4 cup for each pancake.
4.  Cook for 2-3 minutes.  You have to watch these carefully.  They burn easily - keep the heat on low or medium.

If you care about calories, this is a great recipe.  This recipe is only 2 weight watchers points per pancake.  If you don't care about calories - no problem; this is still a great tasting pancake.
