The Healthiest Carrot Banana Pancakes

I know.  Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it?  Healthy pancakes.  I assure you, it isn’t.

Ready for the healthiest, lightest in calories pancakes you have ever eaten?  And yes, believe it or not, they still taste awesome.  These babies are gluten-free, lactose-free and sugar-free.  They are filling and awesome for your health, chock full of good-for-you stuff.  Topped with berries, they are especially delicious.

They are Paleo and Whole30 compliant as well, if that matters to you.

What the heck is Whole30?  Some of you might be wondering.  I was asking myself the same question about two weeks ago.  Essentially, its a one-month detox for your body.  Here is a short article that describes in further detail what, exactly, is Whole30 and why on earth might you consider giving it a try.

Either way though, these pancakes are worth making.  For the health benefits, short list of ingredients and yummy taste.

Basically, these pancakes are the bomb.  They cover all sorts of special diet specifications, are easy to make and totally tasty.  Enjoy!

Paleo Carrot Cake Pancakes

For about 7 weeks straight last year, I ate these almost every day.  They are so tasty, surprisingly addicting, and they are REALLY healthy.  No gluten, no lactose and they are free of any refined sugar.  I would usually whip up a batch and then consume the entire thing in one sitting.  I recommend these topped with maple syrup and homemade whipped cream.

Pumpkin Oat Buckwheat Pancakes

Its always the perfect time for all things pumpkin flavored!  This is one of my absolute favorite ingredients to both cook and bake with.  Pumpkin pastapumpkin cheesecakepumpkin pie…I cannot get enough!!  And autumn is not the only ideal time for chowing down on this super good-for-you ingredient.  Much like that silly myth with regard to not wearing white after labor day (who thought of that one, seriously), while pumpkin does tend to be a flavor that goes hand in hand with fall, I think it can and should be eaten in abundance throughout the entire year!!

Here is to luxurious Sunday mornings, brunches that stretch on throughout the morning, breakfast in bed and all things cozy.

This recipe (#36) is refined sugar-free, gluten-free AND lactose-free.  Woo hoo!!!  You can also throw together the batter in less then 10 minutes.  Hows that for outstanding?
