Holy yumminess, Batman!! These were so delicious! We are doing the 21 day sugar detox right now, so we used granny smith apples. I also added baking powder and some fresh lemon juice. We topped them with loads of butter and I melted some coconut cream and unsweetened almond butter together. Perfect topping!!!

About that Silk Coconut milk. I do not like it. I tried. I tried really hard to like it, I don’t mind fresh coconut milk straight out of the fruit. Trying to force down the second glass out of the carton was just too much for me. I ended up tossing what was left of it and just trekking back to the store to buy almond milk. Now that’s good stuff!

This pancake recipe is wonderful when I exchanged the coconut milk for almond milk and added maybe a bit too much vanilla (the real stuff takes much less than imitation.) Topped with banana, strawberry, blueberry and just a slight drizzle of honey.

My three year old calls it donuts! But he calls the almond milk “milkshake” also. Honestly, I don’t know where he gets that from. I’m asking family what they’ve been feeding the boy.

Could you post your coconut pancake recipe? We are allergic to almonds and are hungry for pancakes!

Thanks!

Have you tried the Silk coconut milk that comes in a carton in the dairy section of the grocery store? It comes in vanilla flavor and plain. I’m interested in trying it, but am not sure about buying such a big quantity as it only comes in half gallons. I love your blog and your book. Very helpful!

Just tried these with a slight adjustment, added 1/2 c tapioca flour (because I added to much coconut milk)… a teaspoon of vanilla … and 1/2 cup homemade applesauce from thanksgiving which already has cinnamon & nutmeg ). They were great and I got the ok from the non paleo family members…
PS also did your Thanksgiving paleo stuffing and also got rave reviews and requests for the recipe.

Just made these for my family! Kids loved them and they are SO filling! Poured a little real maple syrup over……reminded me of a crisp Fall day

Hello! I have an allergy to almonds and am wondering what would be a good substitute for almond meal as many of your recipes use it. We just got your book and are loving it! Thanks for the inspiration and the grocery lists

I made these this morning, and in my sleepy stupor I forgot the apples. I didn’t have enough almond meal so I used 1/2 almond meal and 1/2 coconut powder. The result was fluffy and blonde, and utterly delicious with some warmed frozen blueberries and a couple of eggs.

Vanilla’s from a seed pod, might not have been exploited by Grok, but is certainly a whole food, just like herbs are.

Great idea Chrissie to make these more manageable, thank you!!

I had the same problem with these amazingly delicious cakes the first time around. But the second time, I added 2 tablespoons of tapioca starch (whice comes from the root of the cassava plant) and a teaspoon of baking powder and they held together much better. I think I’ll increase the additions to 3T starch and 1 1/2 t. powder next time, or even double the original amounts, not sure yet. These are SO good!

Just made these thismorning after I listened to one of your podcasts where you mentioned them. Very yummy. I used the leftover almond grounds from making almond milk- I have been looking for a way to use that stuff!
Thanks!

I LOVE your version of these Meredith, I’ll be trying this for sure! Thank you!

I would leave out the oil in the batter and substitute it for 1/2 banana. Then put all ingredients in a food processor so you have no chuncks of banana. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to thicken. It really held together like a beautiful crepe for me. No issues! Do use the drizzle of coconut oil in the pan to cook them in. It is great for higher heat cooking from what I have read. I also then topped with the sliced banana and cheated by drizzeling a tiny amount of agave nector on them. Wow!

Sarah –

These are absolutely delicious! I’ve made these a few times now and they are so good!

This morning my wife (who just gave birth to our second child 3 weeks ago), woke me up and said: “What are you waiting for?!? Go make some of those Paleo Pancakes! I’m hungry!”

They’re a big weekend hit around here now. Thanks!

WARNING: Please ONLY use Chaokoh Coconut Milk! I tried this other organic brand becuase I couldn’t find a retailer near my area that carried it. However it has Guar Gum and it made me nauseous, light headed, bloated, and felt as if my blood pressure dropped, just sick…and I only had 2 1/2 pancakes. I had used the same brand in a mango smoothie and it made me feel the same way, so I know it has to be the Guar Gum. Besides it has a funny taste YUCK

This is what I found Online-From: http://www.immunocapinvitrosight.com/dia_templates/ImmunoCAP/Allergen____28327.aspx

Guar gum is a high-molecular-weight agent that can cause occupational rhinitis and asthma and may uncommonly induce symptoms of food allergy in sensitised individuals (9). Food-induced anaphylaxis has been reported (10-11).

On a good note, I love your site Sarah and I plans most of my meals using your yummy recipes. Thank You!!!

Just started paleo the past couple weeks. Made these this morning. Had a really large apple, so only used 3/4 of it, and added a couple handfuls of blueberries. Also a drop of vanilla extract (is this paleo approved?) Had them with Canadian bacon and….100% pure maple syrup – just a bit (don’t know if that’s paleo approved or not….maybe not…but…it was awesome) Used an electric griddle set to 400 degrees and had to grill them longer than normally would for pancakes to keep them from falling apart. Thanks. Will be trying many more of your recipes and working hard at making a grocery shopping list.

Hi Rolinda,
Yummmm, waffles!! I am so going to try this, I have an old waffle maker collecting dust up in my cabinet… Thanks for the tip and I’m so glad you are enjoying my recipes!

I too tried to make these griddle cakes and mine fell apart even after attempting to decrease the liquid by adding more almond meal. I didn’t want to waste the batter. So, I got creative and used the batter to make waffles. My husband and his friends loved it! I will make these again. Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe!
