Back in October, I shared Perfect Primal Waffles with you – and hopefully you’ve made and enjoyed them! We’ve actually eaten them tons of times, when we make a bigger/more complicated brunch on the weekends. But sometimes we want pancakes, and guess what! The batter works perfectly for pancakes too.
Grain-free Gluten-free Pancakes:
- 6 eggs
- 6 Tbsp milk
- Splash vanilla extract
- Optional – 2 Tbsp maple syrup, honey, Truvia, or other sweetener
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 6 Tbsp coconut flour
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
Mix all of the ingredients together. I’ve found that adding the oil after everything else is combined works best to get the right texture. Let the batter stand about 5 minutes so the coconut flour can absorb everything the way it likes to. Then cook pancakes over medium-low heat. They take a little longer than regular flour pancakes do, but don’t be tempted to turn up the temperature – you’ll just end up burning them! Slow and low heat is better for coconut flour.
Hint: The pancakes will get little bubbles around the edges when it’s time to flip them.
They’re great with honey butter, maple syrup, jam, nut butter, warmed fruit, or just about any other topping you can imagine (Don’t tell, but once I made dark chocolate ganache to top them with. Yeah, I was having a wacky pregnant morning I guess.) so go wild! Let me know what you decide to top yours with!
Oh, and those potatoes up there? Perfect tallow-fried breakfast potatoes. You really should give them a shot too!
Hi! I'm Emily. I'm a Navy wife and brand new stay at home mom. I cook simple, delicious, grain-free recipes, do crafts, decorate on a budget, and keep a happy home. I breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, and co-sleep, but I'm not a hippie.
These are the only pancakes I make at the moment. The only ones I could find that tasted half decent and they’re delicious!

I’ve tried several coconut flour pancake recipes before, and these have the best texture – by far. Loved them.

Thanks for letting me know! And I’m so glad you like them.
I just got some coconut flour and wanted to try making pancakes with it. I tried this recipe and ultimately made a few modifications. First, I blended everything except the flour and oil in the blender to make it smooth. Then I added the coconut flour and oil and waited 5 minutes. The batter was really thin so I added a little more flour. In the end, 9 tablespoons flour made the batter just right. I will definitely make these again.
It would be great if you could put the number of servings on your recipes (even nutritional stats would be neat). But servings a good plus. I’m wondering the number of servings on your crackers and your gluten-free, grain-free pumpkin bread.
I’ve been wanting to try some coconut flour pancakes, but couldn’t decide on a recipe… I trust your recipes, so I think this will be the one! I’ll be making them this weekend. =]

Ever since you talked about using these as sammich bread, I’m jonesing to try them! As soon as the husband is paid, I’m getting some coconut flour. We’ve been talking about going gluten-free for a little bit to see if it helps us – I get headaches and he’s been feeling sluggish.

Just wanted to say that I made these once I received my coconut flour this past weekend and they are the JAM! Thanks for posting. I will be using again and again!
I tried these pancakes last weekend and they were fantastic! My family said they liked them better than regular pancakes. Yay coconut!

Yes, I'm sure… I make it all the time just as written. I'm wondering if
maybe you're using a coarser or finer coconut flour, or if you live in an
area with more humidity (humidity is almost 0 here in California's central
valley)… and if those things might affect how your batter turns out. Sorry
it's not working out for you!
Going to try these out this morning. We have some lovely berries and maybe some yoghurt on top too.
Is this recipe right? Sure doesn't seem to be. I followed it precisely and it came out as the most runny batter I've ever worked with. Far more runny than a crepe batter which caused it to run all over the place on my griddle. Not even a nonstick pan could make a decent pancake. I'm all about finding a great Paleo/Primal pancake recipe but have struck out thus far.
