PALEO PANCAKES

We don't eat pancakes very often in my house, but they are a nice treat to have every now and then. The true test of any paleo dish for me is if I can get my oldest daughter to eat it without her knowing that it has been "paleofied". The hardest one so far has been pancakes. The first few times I made paleo pancakes from other sites I got "the look" from her...she was on to me. This morning, however, she happily scarfed these down and I knew we had a winner.
They are sweet enough on their own so that you don't need to add any syrups or additional honey. I find that most paleo pancakes do best when they are smaller in size, so I recommend making these smaller as well. I like to make some scrambled eggs to go along with the pancakes, that way the healthy and the not-so-healthy items negate each other and I come out even in the end. fMakes sense in my head anyway.
As a side note - make sure you are using a finely ground blanched almond flour for all of your paleo recipes. Anything else will usually result in a crumbly mess. And don't confuse almond flour with almond meal, they are not the same and almond meal will not work as a replacement!
