It’s also nut-free, which makes it a great alternative to one of my favorite paleo pancakes that contain almond flour.

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.
Gluten-Free pumpkin pancakes
To give these healthy paleo pancakes a fall twist, I added pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom, and ginger).
This is my go-to spice combo of the season!
In the wintertime, I also like to add some extra ground ginger to create festive, seasonal gingerbread pancakes!
There are so many ways you can whip up a pumpkin-flavored recipe, check out my sugar-free sweet potato pie recipe for example.
