5 Ingredient Paleo Pancakes

Pancake Tuesday is approaching I thought I'd offer an alternative to traditional pancakes made with wheat flour, milk, & sugar, as these ingredients can often contribute to inflammation and bloating. How, you ask?

• Wheat flours contain gluten which irritate and cause damage to the intestinal lining (***you don't have to be diagnosed with celiac, or even have digestive issues for this to be happening)
• Milk can be poorly tolerated by many people (more so with heavily processed, typical grocery store brands) and can show up as migraines, skin issues like acne, of digestive issues
• Sugar causes a whole host of problems including cravings, blood sugar irregularities, heart disease, diabetes, & poor sleep.
