Soft and fluffy, paleo-friendly banana pancakes. They’re so delicious, you can’t even tell that they are grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free!
Finally, a grain-free pancake worth eating! These pancakes are soft, fluffy, easy to make, and so delicious. You’ll never have to eat those hard, chalky, eggy paleo pancakes again!
These pancakes are made with tapioca and coconut flour, which give that light and fluffy texture. Instead of using a half dozen eggs, which seems to be standard in most recipes calling for coconut flour, I incorporate flax seed meal, which helps bind the mixture together and in turn, allows us to use less eggs (Yay for no more eggy-ness!)
I’m a certified, professional pancake eater and I really think you’ll like these:) I hope you give them a try!

I found this recipe in a “low carb” site. But, having 2 med bananas comes out to 40.4 grams of carbs. Not exactly low carb!
Hi George, sorry someone else advertised these as low carb, but I myself never described them as such. You could always omit a banana, but the banana flavor would be less distinct.
It doesn’t look like it published my whole comment…boo. I was saying…I can’t wait to try these! They look and sound amazing and oh so happy for the blood sugar. 😉
Thanks, Mary! I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds them eggy:) Yes, I’m all about sweets that aren’t terribly sweet..sounds like a contradiction, but a little goes a long way! Thanks for stopping by, my friend!
I know exactly what you mean about that ‘paleo’ eggyness!
They look TOTALLY yummy! 🙂
Thank you, Kimberly! We love our pancakes around here:)
I bet these would be great with cocoa!
Great idea, Elizabeth! Or maybe even chocolate AND peanut butter! Yum!
These look so fluffy and delicious! Have yet to properly give coconut flour a whirl- will be adding this to my list of things to make ASAP when I do 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Minna! I’ve had a bag of coconut flour in my pantry for a little while and just didn’t know what to do with it! These were super delicious though…I hope you like them!
These are so delicious! Great shots as well. They look as great as they taste!
Thanks, Rafael! Pancakes are my favorite:)
