What is so special about these particular pancakes do you ask? Well for one they are made with plantains (you curious yet?) and they are also egg free and compatible with the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP). I have to say I was pretty impressed with how these turned out. I made a large batch so I have been eating them as snacks all week. Yum. I like to top mine with bacon fat (trust me it’s delicious), nut butter or my chia seed jam. But other options would include coconut butter, maple syrup, apple butter, fresh fruit or honey. The possibilities are endless!

I am probably one of the last paleo bloggers to jump on the pancake bandwagon. Oops! There are so many great recipes out there already but most of them contain eggs so I just never got around to trying them out. But since I have discovered the miracle of the gelatin egg I have been incorporating this superfood into so many recipes that would normally require eggs and I wouldn’t be able to eat.  My Harvest Bread with Apple Coconut Icing or Egg Free Cauliflower Pizza Crust are prime examples. And if you are not familiar with the miracle that is the gelatin egg, simply head down to the directions to learn how to make this life changing ingredient.

I would love to hear what you think of this recipe when you try it. And as always I would be thrilled if you followed me on Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook!

Happy Eating Everyone!

    Can you use agar agar or flaxseed instead of gelatin? Thank you!

    Hi JyotiI have not tried either of those substitutions in this particular recipe but if I was going to choose one I would try the flax seed first. Chia seeds should also work if you wanted another option! Hope that helps 🙂
