This paleo pancake recipe is a cross between typical fluffy American pancakes and crepes! They’re also grain-free, gluten-free and dairy-free.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups (315 ml) non-dairy milk of choice room temperature; or regular buttermilk for a dairy-containing version
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar, see notes
  • 1 1/2 cups (150 grams) almond flour blanched, finely ground
  • 1/2 cup (58 grams) tapioca flour / starch
  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder see notes
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons (42 grams) coconut oil melted; or unsalted butter for a dairy-containing version
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • If using store-bought dairy-containing buttermilk, skip to Step 2. Otherwise, prepare the dairy-free buttermilk. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to a 1-cup (240-milliliter) measuring cup and fill up with dairy-free milk. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice to a 1/3-cup (80-milliliter) measuring cup and fill up with dairy-free milk. Let sit for 5 minutes while preparing the rest of the recipe.
    1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 1/3 cups (315 ml) non-dairy milk of choice
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients (almond flour through salt). Set aside.
    1 1/2 cups (150 grams) almond flour, 1/2 cup (58 grams) tapioca flour / starch, 1 tablespoon coconut sugar, 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the wet ingredients (buttermilk through vanilla extract).
    3 large eggs, 3 tablespoons (42 grams) coconut oil, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 1/3 cups (315 ml) non-dairy milk of choice
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet and stir until no lumps remain.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the pre-heated pan and cook for about 2 minutes or until bubbles form and the bottom has lightly browned.
  • Flip the pancake over and cook for another minute or two.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve immediately and keep any leftovers refrigerated for up to 4-5 days.
