Hello SHJ True Believers!
I’ve been spending some time in my test kitchen experimenting with a few different recipes like I’m a food science Mr. Fantastic and I’m happy to report that there is a lot on deck for the near future. ย The first recipe out of the lab, gate, whatever… is a re-visit to the pancake, albeit a more traditional yet twisted take then last one. ย It’s a minimalist recipe that breeds some great results. ย Be ready to stretch your mind like your made out of elastic and out of the lab and into the SHJ cookbook we go!
Need to know a little bit more about me? ย Iโm a self taught average joe whoโs been gifted a superhuman sense for what tastes great and Iโm here to share my findings. ย Each recipe will feature a minimum of one of the elusive superfoods because what else do you think superhumans consume?
Todayโs Featured Recipe:
SHJ Paleo Pancakes
Today’s featured SuperFood: Bananas
Wait are bananas a superfood? ย To be honest this one is a bit of a stretch…

So to ย be honest. ย No bananas don’t traditionally meet the nutritional standards of the illustrious superfood label. ย But from a culinary flexibility standard this sweet yet starchy fruit bends in ways few foods do. ย Bake them into bread, manipulate them in to pancakes, caramelize them for desert, or freeze them into “ice cream” ย there’s not much you cannot do with them. ย And for that reason alone it earns super-food status in this superhuman’s pantry.
Consider this what I call a base recipe, you can liven this up with oats, chia sees, blueberries, mangoes, and chocolate chips… and hell whatever else you feel tastes good in a pancake. ย This base recipe results in a true paleo pancake, grain-free in every caveman friendly way.

Nutrition Pillar Info:
This recipe meets the standards of ourย Nordic,ย Paleo,ย Mediterranean and Vegetarian Pillars.
Ingredients:
- 2 Large Bananas or 3 Small
- 2 Eggs
- 1/3 Cup Nut Butter (I used cashew)
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Directions:
- Peel your bananas and place in a large mixing bowl. ย Be sure to get out your favorite mashing fork.
- Mash those nanners!
- Add in your nut butter and stir to combine
- Next add the eggs and stir to combine (Note: I jazzed this up with some chia seeds for some extra iron, fiber, and protein)
- Add your salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and vanilla, and mix your pancake batter.
Pro tip: ย A 1/4 measuring cup makes a great scoop for portioning out your batter. ย Now if your batter feels too thin, or if your pancakes aren’t flipping well add in more nut butter one Tbsp at a time until you reach a consistency you are comfortable with.
- Prepare your large pan by heating it up over medium-low heat, and grease with a light amount of coconut oil. ย Use a paper towel to wipe up any excess.
- Add the batter to the pan
- Flip and repeat
- And just like that we are on to Excelsior and Enjoy!
