banana pancakes

Breakfasts have been tricky on the specific carbohydrate diet. Not because there aren't enough options, but because those options take more preparation and/or time to enjoy. Hard boiled eggs? Perfect, but a do-ahead meal. Scrambled eggs? Quick, but it takes a few dishes and a pan to do. Almond pancakes or waffles? Wonderfully delicious, but it takes a while. Yogurt? Just right, but I eat it all the time.

Here is where banana pancakes shine. Super fast, full of nutrients, warm, and delicious, they have been the perfect class-morning breakfast. I like to have them with thawing berries on the side and a drizzle of honey on top. Nothing beats it.
