7 Quick and Easy Paleo Pancake Recipes

7 Quick and Delicious Paleo Pancake Recipes

Since most breakfast foods have grains, paleo eaters can sometimes have a hard time finding filling options other than eggs and bacon. The Paleolithic Diet, an increasingly popular lifestyle choice, is based on consuming only foods available to the first humans who lived over 200,000 years ago. Meaning: Plants and animal meats are in and grain and dairy products are out.

If you flip for flapjacks but are eating paleo, don’t despair! We’ve rounded up our favorite paleo pancake recipes from around the web. Since gluten-free flours tend to be heavier than regular flour, your grainless pancakes may be a little denser than normal (but just as flavorful!). Whip up a short stack today for macro-magnificent morning!
