Paleo Grain Free Pancakes -two different recipes

My little guy, has a super sensitive stomach. He really can't eat any grains, not even gluten free ones at this point. His older brother eats gluten free pancakes on occasion, and the poor little guy wants pancakes like big brother.  I started making these for my youngest, but both boys eat these almost every morning. I typically make a double batch.  I just made these up one day, and they surprisingly taste pretty good. I've been experimenting with a few different recipes. The first on (one using eggs). I think tastes the best. Saying that, if you need an egg free recipe, the second one is pretty dang good considering what's in it...or should I say what's missing from it. My little one gobbles both of them up.

Paleo-ish Apple Banana Pancakes -egg version 

*these have more of a classic pancake feel to them

(Yeilds about 8 silver dollar size pancakes)

- 1 banana mashed

- 2 eggs

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp coconut flour

1 tsp almond flour (you can omit this and they will turn out fine)

Pinch of sea salt

Ghee or butter for cooking

Instructions:

- Mash the banana

- Mix together all ingredients

- Heat a skillet to medium heat. Put a good amount of ghee or butter in a pan. Drop by Tablespoonfuls and cook until nice and brown on each side.   Be gentle with them, I find making them on the smaller side helps. 

- Serve with organic real maple syrup. 

Enjoy!

Here is the egg, dairy, nut, and gluten free recipe:

Paleo Apple Banana "Pancakes" -egg, nut, dairy, gluten free recipe

1 medium apple peeled and shredded with a large shred cheese grater

*Optional* shred one small carrot on a fine shred cheese grater

1/2 banana mashed

1 TBS of sunflower seed butter.  Any nut butter would do. The sunflower butter does have a mild flavor. 

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp vanilla

Pinch of sea salt

Ghee or butter for cooking

-Shred the apple and carrot

-Squeeze as much liquid as you can out of the shredded apple and carrot. I used a nut milk bag. You can also use cheesecloth, or gently squeeze between some heavy duty good quality paper towels. Then set in a bowl. 

- Mash the banana and cream together the banana and nut butter until smooth. 

- Mix in the remaining ingredients, and combine the apples and carrots with the banana mixture. 

- Try not to get weirded out by the color. The bananas tend to turn really brown, and make the batter a very dark color ;)

- Heat a skillet to medium high heat. Put a good amount of ghee or butter in a pan. Drop by Tablespoonfuls and flatten out in the pan until nice and brown on each side. 

- Serve with organic real maple syrup. 

Enjoy!
