I love pancakes. When I was a kid my parents used to take me to a restaurant in Billings Bridge Mall in Ottawa for pancakes as a treat.

However, on the Paleo Diet, pancakes and pastries are a no no, and I often miss having something sweet with my morning coffee. (I eat a lot of eggs).

There’s a tasty alternative, though, for making pancakes in a Paleo-friendly manner, and a number of different recipes floating around the Internet, but I found this simple approach made for a delicious result.

2 Ripe Bananas
1 Egg
Cinnamon
Coconut Oil

Blend the bananas and eggs in a blender. Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup pancake mix onto the frying pan (I fit three onto my large pan) and add a dash of cinnamon. Bear in mind they will be rather frail so be careful when you go to flip them, and be sure to add more coconut oil if you make a second round, otherwise they will stick and burn.

Serve with mixed berries and bacon. Thanks to the bananas and cinnamon, you’ll find you won’t need any syrup; they’re already sweet.
