Paleo Pancakes TWO Ways!



I have always been a breakfast eater but never really a pancake eater. I LOVE eggs, potatoes and french toast. Mmm Mmm. :) However, when I was pregnant with my son I craved pancakes like it was my job. Luckily for me, my husband is a fantastic pancake maker. I mean, seriously, he does not cook, like evverrr. But that man, boy he can make amazing pancakes and omelets....breakfast is definitely his forte...at least in the kitchen. But, sadly once lil man was born, the pancake-making stopped but my craving and love for pancakes did not. So, here we are over two years later, still loving pancakes. And believe it not, lil man loooooooves breakfast. It's the one meal I can count on him eating and loving 100%  of the time. We usually have pancakes at least once a week. So, naturally, I had to move on from Aunt Jemima and Hungry Jack to something a little yummier and a lot healthier.

Here are our favorite Paleo Pancake Recipes:

Paleo Banana Pancakes

1 Banana (mashed)
2 Eggs
1 T Almond or Coconut Flour
1 t Cinnamon
1 t  Vanilla


  • Mix all ingredients together.
  • Spray a skillet or griddle with coconut oil and heat over med-high heat
  • Pour batter onto med-hot skillet (about 1/4 cup at a time)
  • Cook 3-4 on first side
  • Flip
  • Cook 2ish minutes on second side
  • Top with Pure Maple Syrup, Fruit, Chocolate Chips, Honey...whatever you chose


We actually like to eat these plain or with some berries. The bananas make them sweet enough that you don't need syrup or honey, in my opinion. Also, I have tried these with both Almond Flour and Coconut Flour. I think I like the taste of the Almond Flour better but the Coconut Flour seems to make them fluffier. I am thinking next time I might do a 1/2 T of each.

These are my favorite because they are quick and super duper easy. But if I am not in the mood for Banana Pancakes and want something a little more traditional, I will make the next recipe.

Paleo Coconut Flour Pancakes

1/2 cup Coconut Flour
1/2 cup + 2 T Unsweetened Almond Milk (or Almond-Coconut or Cashew or Almond-Cashew..whatever you prefer really)
2 t Baking Powder
4 Eggs
2 T Honey

  • Whisk eggs in a large bowl.
  • Whisk in the milk and honey.
  • Slowly add and whisk in the flour and baking powder until combined. Batter will be thick.
  • Using a 1/4 measuring cup, pour batter onto a preheated med-low skillet sprayed with coconut oil.
  • Cook for about 4 minutes COVERED (trust me, it makes a difference)
  • Flip and cook UNCOVERED for another 3ish minutes

Fall is Here!

Fall is officially here...and I guess it has been for about a month now but I have been busy and haven't had an opportunity to blog about my enthusiasm for fall! Haha Fall is one of my favorite times of the year! I love the feeling of fall, the smells of fall, the colors of fall, the changes of fall, the decorations of fall (can you say "Pumpkins"?!), and of course the cuisine of fall! Fall makes me want to eat nothing but comfort food. Why? Because it's warm and cozy! One of my favorite things to make during fall is homemade soup! Unfortunately, my dear husband is not a fan of soup so I try to make it when I know he isn't going to be home. A Couple weekends ago, he opened AND closed the golf course that he works at so he was gone all day. And I took advantage of it! Not only did I clean the house and work on Baby M's room, I made soup and started re-watching one of my favorite shows on Netflix--LOST. Here is the delicious, warm, spicy soup that I thoroughly e...
