Think you can’t enjoy a light, sweet breakfast while on the paleo diet (bacon and sausage…again?)? The proof is in these pancakes! Thanks to a hint of tropical flavor from coconut oil and extra moistness from applesauce, every bite is bliss with this naturally sweetened, sugar-free breakfast dish. Using almond flour and coconut flour instead of all-purpose keeps it gluten free, while pure maple syrup makes the perfect paleo topping.
