 Paleo Banana Coconut Flour Pancakes

The little baby of mine has had a finicky digestive system to say the least, and (eye roll) I’ve had to adjust my diet to hopefully help out our little buddy. I’m not so sure it’s working (maybe a little), either way I’m currently eating gluten-free and dairy-free to test it out thus Paleo Banana Coconut Flour Pancakes were born.

Because PANCAKES… I need them in my life no matter…even if I have to cut back on all the potential triggers for babe, I’m not cutting out my pancakes.

If you don’t need to be paleo and haven’t tried my “seriously best ever gluten free pancakes” (one of the most popular recipes on my site) head on over there for super fluffy gluten free buttermilk pancakes.

We love these coconut flour pancakes because they are:

  • gluten free

  • dairy free

  • super fluffy

  • and easy to make

Curious about coconut flour nutrition?

While it takes some time to get use to baking with coconut flour, I love it because you don’t have to use very much and it keeps your recipes lower carb and higher in fiber. 2 tablespoons of coconut flour has 60 calories, 9 grams of carbohydrate, 5 grams of fiber, and 3 grams of protein.  That’s only 4 grams of net carbs.

Two of these Coconut Flour Pancakes have 8 grams of fiber, 10g protein for about 175 calories. Many people go for coconut flour because it’s low carb– each pancake has only 9 grams and half of those grams are fiber. So 5g net carbs per pancake.

And serving up these Paleo Banana Coconut Flour Pancakes for breakfast were all to my hubs delight, since he follows a low gluten diet. Coconut flour pancakes make a nutritious breakfast, serve them with a side of eggs for even more protein!

Tips for making pancakes with coconut flour?

One thing I learned with paleo pancake making is don’t be tempted to make the pancakes too big– they flip better if you keep them at 2 tablespoons per pancake…

AND the other MUST with coconut flour pancake making is you have to add vinegar to the batter because this helps the batter become more “cohesive” and it makes a fluffier pancake. I’ve tested these several times and while it’s only a small amount of vinegar, you don’t want to leave this ingredient out.

How to meal prep coconut flour pancakes?

Another aspect that I love about making a batch of pancakes on the weekend is freezing the leftovers.

  • Stack the pancakes separated with parchment paper and toss them in a freezer bag.

  • They take about a minute to reheat and then you have a yummy breakfast at the ready for those quick mornings you don’t want to think about getting the kitchen messy.

How about you? Do you like gluten-free and paleo recipes?

    Could I use applesauce or gelatin in place of the eggs? That is the only ingredient making this not AIP compliant.

      Hey Casey, I’m not sure, since the eggs play a big part in the success of this recipe, but if you try the substitutions please keep us posted.

    Great recipe. I subbed the eggs with arrowroot flour. Worked just fine! 😀

    Do I have to use the apple cider vinegar – I don’t have any?

      Yes! If you dont have apple cider vinegar you can replace with any white vinegar but it’s important in the recipe if you want light and fluffy pancakes because they are made with coconut flour.

    One of the best paleo pancake recipes on the net. I made these last weekend and should have left a comment then; a lot of the other recipes out there leave you with something closer to a crepe.

    Thank you!

    Hmm, we have a bunch of eggs in the fridge, bananas on the counter, and I’m pretty sure coconut flour in the freezer. These need to happen!

    Paleo Banana Coconut Flour pancakes, sound delicious. In the photograph, look fluffy, is this due to the addition of vinegar?
    With a family member who is “ Pre-Diabetic” and rarely eats breakfast, only coffee, I’ve been reading and looking at tasty options. This recipe, coconut flour has additional benefits, sneaking in the fiber, and low carb. Plan to check an organic market store for coconut flour. Do you have other recipes, you use coconut flour?
