How to sweetened paleo pancakes without adding sugar
To keep the paleo and gluten-free pancakes sweet while being sugar-free, I replaced the processed white sugar with a ripe banana.
I love sweetening my recipes with whole foods, such as bananas or sweet potatoes.
Not only does it add sweetness, but it also adds some great nutritional value!
Of course, if you prefer an even sweeter taste you can add 1 to 2 tbsp of maple syrup or honey to your gluten-free pancake batter as well.
