Craving a delightful and nutritious breakfast that satisfies your sweet tooth without compromising your health goals? Look no further! These AIP Pancakes are the perfect indulgence for a treat breakfast on the weekend. As someone who values a weekday breakfast packed with healthy fats, proteins, and vegetables, I reserve these delicious pancakes for those special weekend mornings. I must confess, I should have shared this recipe with you all a long time ago!
A Sweet Tradition Since 2017
Embarking on the elimination phase of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) in 2017 led me to discover the magic of these pancakes. Even on AIP, where sugar intake is limited, I occasionally craved something sweet. These pancakes became my go-to solution. Fast forward almost 7 years, and they remain a beloved tradition for me and my family. Yes, I’ve made a little modification along the way – Hu chocolate chips are now a delightful addition to elevate the experience.
Why AIP Banana Pancakes?
What makes these pancakes a staple in my breakfast routine? Beyond their delicious taste, they align perfectly with the principles of AIP. Laden with the goodness of ripe bananas, these pancakes offer a natural sweetness that doesn’t compromise your health journey. The recipe has evolved over the years, ensuring a balance of flavors and nutrients.
The Long-Awaited Recipe Reveal
I’ve contemplated sharing this recipe for years, and it’s high time I bring it to your breakfast table! The inspiration finally struck after coming across a Facebook post in one of the AIP support groups where fellow autoimmune patients were on the lookout for a pancake recipe. Your wish is my command – here it is!
The Pleasure of a Nutrient-Packed Breakfast
These AIP Pancakes are not just about indulgence; they’re a celebration of flavor and nutrition. The combination of ripe bananas, cassava flour, tiger nut flour, and the optional chocolate chips creates a delightful harmony on your plate. Plus, they’re gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free – perfect for those following AIP or anyone seeking a healthier breakfast alternative.
The Nutritional Benefits of AIP Banana Pancakes
Let’s delve into the nutritional benefits of these delightful pancakes. Ripe bananas provide a rich source of natural sugars, fiber, and essential vitamins like potassium and vitamin C. The AIP-friendly flour ensures a gluten-free and grain-free base, catering to those with dietary restrictions. Coconut oil adds a dose of healthy fats, contributing to a satiating and nourishing breakfast.
Customizing Your AIP Banana Pancakes
Feel free to customize the recipe to suit your preferences. Experiment with different AIP-friendly flours or try adding other wholesome ingredients like shredded coconut or berries. The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility – adapt it to your taste and dietary requirements.
Incorporating Chocolate Chips – A phase 1 reintro
The addition of Hu chocolate chips takes these pancakes to a whole new level of decadence. I know they are not AIP compliant but they are a part of the phase 1 reintroductions on AIP. The result? A guilt-free indulgence that satisfies your sweet tooth without compromising on your commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
