Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes
{Gluten Free. Dairy Free. No Sugar. Grain Free. Paleo. Delicious.}
I’ve been strictly gluten free for over 8 years. Prior to taking out gluten, I had terrible unexplained stomach pains, numerous tests and, well, nothing that the Doctors did or told me helped, so I went out on my own journey, took out gluten (breads, cakes, cookies, muffins, cereals, soy sauce and many other things that contain wheat or the gluten protein).
At first, I would “cheat” and slip in a little of my grandma’s delicious cake or a cookie or two, but my stomachaches would appear immediately or within 2-3 days. It was NOT worth it. From there, I went cold turkey and never looked back. It doesn’t mean I don’t miss breakfast foods like pancakes, muffins and cinnamon rolls. Though there are gluten free options, they are still loaded with “crap” and a lot of sugar.
Since I have been eating very strictly Paleo for about 8 weeks now and have yet to add sugar into my diet, I wanted something different, so I experimented with pancakes. I have made this recipe a couple of times and finally found the best recipe tonight!
