Naturally Sweet Coconut Pancakes from SugarDetoxMe

3 · Apr 22, 2017 ·

A few months ago, I gave up sugar. Like really gave up sugar. In the past, when I “quit sugar,” I replaced the white stuff with honey, maple syrup, agave, coconut sugar—basically anything that would give me that sweet fix without the refined sugar label. But guess what? Those sweeteners are still sugar! And giving my sweet tooth what it wanted made it super easy to slip back into bad habits after a few weeks.

Earlier this year, I decided that I’d quit sugar again—and this time, it would be all added sweeteners, including natural, unrefined ones. Stevia too! And shocker: it was way easier than I expected. Even easier than when I had only given up white sugar in the past. The reason it was easier was because after you cut yourself off from that sweet taste, your body stops craving it.

The results of cutting out sugar? My joints no longer ache. I’ve lost 10 pounds. I sleep more soundly. And I’m eating more than I ever did in my years of counting calories—foods rich in healthy fats and protein. Foods like these Coconut Pancakes, which come from a book that’s all about ridding your diet of sugar: Summer Rayne Oakes’ SugarDetoxMe.

The recipes in this book—over 100 of them—are designed to help you curb your cravings. I also love that the recipes are organized into week-long meal plans, which makes eliminating sugar super easy. And these pancakes demonstrate another benefit of detoxing from sugar: after you’ve stopped eating foods with added sugars, fruit tastes so much sweeter. A small banana, kefir, and coconut milk have enough natural sugars to make these pancakes sweet enough without having to pour on syrup and toppings.
