4 Ingredient Paleo Pancake

I really love when I can make a delicious and healthy meal with minimal ingredients. And I don't really follow a paleo diet, but I do appreciate the concept of focusing on whole foods and avoiding (as much as possible) processed foods, high-fructose corn syrup, trans fat, etc. I *love* pancakes but ones made with a ton of butter, eggs and white flour can really weigh me down. With those things in mind, I created this easy and paleo focused pancake that you can enjoy guilt-free.

4 Ingredient Paleo Pancake

Makes one large pancake

 Ingredients:

• One medium ripe banana
• One large egg
• One teaspoon baking powder 
• One tablespoon coconut or almond flour (can use regular flour but the texture will be different and it won't be paleo) 

Instructions:

1. Break the banana up into pieces and place into a medium sized bowl. Add the egg, baking powder and flour. 
2. Using an immersion blender, blend ingredients together until they form a batter. (If you don't have an immersion blender, you can omit the bowl and just place everything into a regular blender) 
3. Preheat a medium sized pan over medium-low heat. Spray with cooking spray or coat with olive or coconut oil.
4. Pour prepared batter into pan. 
5. Let cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until bubbles start to form and the batter solidifies. Keep a close eye on the heat and adjust as necessary - I've found that the pancake can burn easily. Carefully flip the pancake and let cook around 3-5 more minutes on the other side, or until it's solid throughout.
6. Top with whatever your heart desires 😊 My go-tos usually include nut butter, shredded coconut, fresh berries and pure maple syrup. Enjoy!
