Paleo Pancakes Two Ways (Plus a Contest!)

Hey, primal pals. Leslie Klenke here! You may know me from Primal Blueprint Publishing’s 2014 release Paleo Girl, my MDA Success Story, the Primal Blueprint Certified Expert Directory, or maybe you took one of my workshops at last year’s PrimalCon. I was so excited when Mark asked me to write a guest post today that I decided I was going to treat you all to two recipes!

Let me start by saying I love breakfast, and I have no shame in admitting that I’ve eaten breakfast food for every meal of my day on more than one occasion. My go-to favorite is eggs over medium paired with bacon and avocado—but sometimes it’s fun to be a little indulgent. Sometimes you just need pancakes.

Banana Pancakes and Almond Pancakes are my favorites—not to mention they’re incredibly versatile. You might recognize the same ingredients (but different instructions) in the Banana Pancakes as you’ll find in my Better Than Oatmeal recipe that Mark shared on the blog when Paleo Girl launched. Not to mention, Almond Pancakes can be used as “buns” for breakfast sandwiches stuffed full of eggs, bacon, and whatever else your little paleo heart desires.

For pancake emergencies, download and print the convenient recipe cards I’ve created below!

If you’re looking for more paleo recipes or inspiration, check out my website or like/follow me on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Have a happy weekend full of health, love, and pancakes!
