You Won't Belive Your Tastebuds

I can hardly believe it myself, but I have found the most delicious, PaleoPancake you have ever tasted! Well, I'm not sure how many paleo pancakes you've tried, but you should definitely try this!
Start with a banana, egg, and a tablespoon of nut butter. Mix and mash well. You can stop with these three ingredients, throw it onto a warm skillet in a dab of oil and yum city is just a few minutes away.
I chose to incorporate a dash of cinnamon, some chopped apples, and steamed sweet potatoes, and, in the words repeated throughout the trilogy of 50 Shades of Grey series, "Oh My!"
The first batch I made was made with all of the above plus an additional egg. The second time I made it, (never as good as the first time is it) I forgot the almond butter and it was a bit soggier. Then I added the almond butter but forgot the sweet potatoes. Truthfully, I could hardly wait for the cakes to cook because we were devouring them as fast as I could turn them out.
You'll want to let them cook a bit longer than your traditional flour based pancakes, I think because of all the nutrients :-) According to my Everything Paleo book, bananas make a great replacement for flour in recipes because of it binding properties.
Don't think it'll work for books though... (book binding, get it?)
Let me know how your experimenting goes, or what you are using in place of flour in your recipes!
