Want a fun, creative breakfast that kids will love? Try these high-fiber Churro Pancakes!

Some of the best memories that I have as a kid are of sleepovers with my friends. We’d stay up late and in the morning we’d enjoy a delicious stack of pancakes served with tons of toppings, from strawberries to chocolate syrup.

This recipe is a throwback to those days, but gives traditional pancakes an upgrade with Paleo-friendly ingredients and a churro-inspired twist! The pancake batter is made with coconut flour, which is high in fiber and low in carbs. Coconut flour also gives foods a lighter texture, which is great for perfectly fluffy pancakes.

The pancakes are then coated in cinnamon sugar. I used date sugar for the coating and topped it all off with a dark chocolate sauce made with coconut oil and coconut cream – great sources of healthy fats.
