Nutrition: This is breakfast at its best: high in protein + appropriate portion of carbs, the perfect combo to fuel your morning.

Eggs + nut butter = protein.

Sweet potato/banana = quality carbs.

100% real food.

Technique: All you need is a microwave & a skillet. Pan flipping not required but super fun. You can just use a large spatula to flip this mega pancake.

Diets: Low FODMAP: go for the banana option instead of the sweet potato, or a combo of 1/2 banana + half cup sweet potato, or about 3/4 of a medium sweet potato. If you can’t tolerate sweet potato or just want to change it up, swap in a sweet plantain or banana for the sweet potato.

1 sweet potato OR 1 banana medium; or try a combo of each, like 1/2 sweet potato + 1/2 banana
2 eggs
1/2 Tbsp coconut oil

Optional add-ins:

Instructions

Sweet Potato Prep

Wash a sweet potato. Poke several holes in it with a fork.
Wrap potato in a paper towel & microwave for 3-4 minutes or until soft to touch.
Peel and remove the skin. Careful! Use a dry paper towel to hold the potato while it's still hot! OR- microwave ahead of time, cool, and peel when ready.

Paleo Pancake

In a bowl, mash the sweet potato (or banana) with a fork until well mashed. Crack in 2 eggs and mix all together. Add optional flavors like cinnamon, vanilla, etc.
Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add mixture to the skillet. Smooth the mixture evenly into skillet to create one large pancake.
Cook about 2 minutes until cooking side of pancake loosens easily from pan when lifted with a spatula and is light brown.
Flip with a large spatula, or try your best pan flip! (I've had many scrambled pancakes before I perfected my pan flip!)
Cook 2nd side for about 1 minute.
Remove from heat, plate, and add your wholesome toppings to your paleo pancake!
