How to Make Paleo Pancakes

Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Coconut oil or butter for cooking
Directions:
-
Step 1: Preparation
In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt together until well combined. This blend of flours will give your pancakes a nutty flavor and a perfect texture.
-
Step 2: Mixing
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. This mixture will add moisture and sweetness to your pancakes.
-
Step 3: Combining
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until combined and smooth, being careful not to overmix. This ensures that your pancakes remain fluffy.
-
Step 4: Cooking
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil or butter to coat the surface. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip to cook the other side until golden brown.
-
Step 5: Finishing
Once cooked, remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm while you repeat with the remaining batter. Serve your delicious pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
How to Serve Paleo Pancakes
These pancakes are incredibly versatile. Serve them warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkling of fresh berries, or a dollop of almond butter. For a fun twist, top with sliced bananas, or mix in some chopped nuts for added texture. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra flavor punch!
How to Store Paleo Pancakes
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just pop them into a freezer-friendly bag, separating layers with parchment paper, and they will keep well for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply toast them in a toaster or warm them in a skillet.
Expert Tips for Perfect Paleo Pancakes
- Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches to achieve an even golden color.
- Adjust the thickness of the batter by adding a bit more almond milk if it feels too thick.
- Experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the flavor.
- Use a non-stick skillet for easier flipping, or adjust your cooking fat accordingly.
Delicious Variations
- Chocolate Chip Paleo Pancakes: Add a handful of dark chocolate chips to the batter for a decadent twist.
- Blueberry Pancakes: Fold in fresh or frozen blueberries for a burst of fruity flavor.
- Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes: Swap in 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice for a seasonal treat.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. -
Can I use regular flour instead of almond and coconut flour?
