Oh my… these are the best pancakes ever & they are gluten, grain, sugar & dairy free to boot! They are the perfect weekend treat & such a simple dish that will please the entire family. I served these to my husband as breakfast in bed (aren’t I nice?!) He came down stairs & said ‘they were yummy, you can’t tell me that they were healthy?!’ Let’s just say he is not 100% on board my real food pledge! I reported with glee that they actually are pretty healthy for pancakes.

2 tablespoons of ghee, butter or coconut oil
1 teaspoon baking powder

- Enjoy!
So easy and they look so yummy! How many pancakes did you get from this batch?
They are great. The entire stack that you see from the one batch plus a couple of failed ones!
haha there’s always a couple of failed ones, hate that!
Is that 1/4 CUP of coconut flour? Just wanted to check! Thx!
Yes that is correct. That is all you need.
Being new to Paleo, is there anything you can swap the Coconut flour for? It’s quite difficult to get hold of in the UK.
Almond flour but the quantities are different as coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture. Maybe look at getting a packet from a online store. It will last you a long time because you don’t use much at all.
Thankyou.
Yummy, a little hard to flip but who cares these were great thanks!!
Yes they are a little hard to flip but once they get going & the pan warms it seems fine. They are not quite as robust when flipping as traditional pancakes.
These are great! I use a very similar recipe, but I can’t stand coconut flour, so I use arrow root starch instead, and vanilla as someone else suggested gives it a very nice flavor 🙂
Just tried this recipe today and it was great! We added a little liquid vanilla as well. Yum!
Excellent idea. Thanks for leaving a comment. I am glad you enjoyed them. 🙂
If using almond flour, how much?
Awww that is a tough question without me trying it out first. Coconut flour is very absorbent so you don’t need much compared to other flours. Also almond flour is not as fluffy as coconut so you might get a denser pancake. I would start with 1/2 cup and see what the mixture is like and add more if needed. It is worth trying out but I can’t tell you for sure what the result will be. Let me know how you go. 🙂
OK, if I try it, I’ll letcha know. 🙂
Hello, silly question but do you add the 2T to the batter or are they for the pan? Thanks!
Hi there Georgina. There is no such thing as a silly question in this space. You add the butter or coconut oil to the batter. You will need something to grease the pan too but I had not specified that, so I will make that change now so that it is not so confusing. 🙂
Thanks!! This is a great recipe!
