Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes - Flour and Diary Free

1/2 banana
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3 eggs
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8-1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup ground flax seed
dash sea salt
(opt. thin with almond milk)

Whisk ingredients together.

Batter is thick. Spread thin to 1/4 thick rounds. Can make large pancakes because it holds together very well. If you spread slowly you can create different shapes - I made mine look like roses.

Cook on medium high in ghee (or butter) until puffed up with brown edges.

Serves 2 to 3 people.

Surprisingly, the banana was the dominant flavor and the peanut butter wasn't very noticeable. The consistency is exactly like regular pancakes, which makes them so satisfying.

My problem with most GAPS recipes is the consistency or texture is completely different or worse the flavor does not quite compare. Which such instances, cravings for the "real deal" aren't satisfied. So you are left longing for normal food even though you know it makes you feel bad afterwards!

Just because the appearance is similar or is given the same name DOES NOT MAKE IT THE SAME!
That is why much experimentation and effort must be taken to create healthy and completely satisfying substitutes. I will not accept a substitute recipe that does not match or exceed the original in deliciousness! :)

Good news! I am shopping a camera.

Take care and keep experimenting!
