Paleo Spiced Turmeric Pancakes

Turmeric pancakes recipe & content provided by Rosie Tran, Kale In The Clouds

These golden turmeric pancakes are a paleo-friendly alternative to traditional sweet pancakes. With a blend of anti-inflammatory spices and warm flavors, these pancakes taste like a golden milk latte and pack every bite with the benefits of resistant starch.

Instead of other resistant starch sources like green bananas or cooked and cooled white rice, these turmeric pancakes incorporate starchy flour from the cassava root. Cassava is a good occasional source of resistant starch because it is low in antinutrients and fructose, all while adding a dense texture to these turmeric pancakes. Always cook your cassava, since it can be toxic in its raw state!

These turmeric pancakes get a sweet finish from a melty coconut butter topping, but you can also top them with grass-fed ghee, whipped coconut cream, or even low-carb jam. Serve with a paleo chai latte or a pumpkin spice latte for a delicious way to start the day.

Note on ingredients: Except for coconut, all nuts are considered “suspect” on the Bulletproof Diet because of their high levels of omega-6 fats, susceptibility to mold, and lectins that can be tough on your gut. Use nuts in moderation, or remove them from your diet and reintroduce in small amounts to test your sensitivity. Black pepper is a suspect spice on the Bulletproof Diet, and highly susceptible to performance-robbing mold toxins. To reduce your risk, omit pepper or grind it fresh using high-quality whole peppercorns.
