In this new apple carrot pancakes recipes we change a bit the classical paleo pancake recipe, substituting bananas for apples and carrots. This makes for a slightly different pancake recipe with even fewer carbs compared to the classical banana and eggs pancakes.
These pancakes are gluten-free and dairy-free and, since we use apples and carrots instead of banana, the total carb count is even lower.
But that’s not all because these apple carrot pancakes are packed with healthy fiber to aid your gut health (and digestion).
Check this quick primer on fiber and its associated health benefits:
- soluble fiber is food for your gut bacteria promoting a healthy immune system.
- insoluble fiber is associated with healthy intestinal transit.
