These sugar-free pancakes are a healthy treat for the whole family. A touch of raw honey adds just the right touch of sweetness. And the cinnamon has been shown to benefit insulin resistance. You can substitute apples or berries for the banana if you wish. Serve with a sugar-free syrup or sliced fruit.
