We have several grain-free pancake recipes we turn to when we want a “bready” (but still high-protein) breakfast. These Paleo Banana Nut Waffles can also be made as excellent pancakes. These coconut flour pancakes are also quite tasty, and I have a few variations on them I like to make too.
But the last couple of weeks, we’ve been making these Grain-Free Cheesecake pancakes. The cream cheese in the batter makes them have a slightly tangy-rich flavor which is a nice departure from the usual. And slightly sweetened with real maple syrup, these don’t need anything else on top… BUT, if you want to get fancy, berries and hand-whipped cream (no sugar added – just the cream) are perfection.

Hi! I'm Emily. I'm a Navy wife and stay at home mom of two beautiful children. I cook simple, delicious, grain-free recipes, do crafts, decorate my home on a budget, and keep a happy household. I tandem breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, practice elimination communication, homebirth, and co-sleep, but I'm not a hippie.
Where does one get almond flour or could I make these with regular flour.
most grocery stores will have it in the gluten-free section (bob’s red mill is commonly carried) or you can get it online… or whole foods, trader joe’s.
Now I know what we are having for breakfast on Saturday
yay! enjoy it!
My kids LOVED these
I’m going to make a huge batch for the freezer. These will be great to pull out for a quick breakfast once we get busy homeschooling again 
Thanks for the awesome recipe!
