These cinnamon and coconut paleo pancakes are the perfect treat for the whole family!
I know Paleo pancakes are totally candy cigarettes but once in a while, I feel like making a stack. They’re definitely not the same as traditional pancakes (a bit denser and drier) but our resident carb-addict, Lil-O seems to like them just fine.
Time to make Cinnamon and Coconut Paleo Pancakes!
Makes 12 pancakes (3” in diameter)
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons full fat coconut milk
- ½ mashed ripe banana (about 2 tablespoons)
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ tablespoons of Bob’s Red Mill organic coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 small pinch of salt
- ghee or coconut oil (for frying)
Here’s how I made the pancakes:
I whisked the eggs, coconut milk, mashed banana, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract together until well combined.
Then, in a separate bowl, I mixed together the rest of the ingredients (except for the ghee)…
…before whisking together the dry and wet ingredients just before cooking.
I heated a tablespoon of ghee over medium heat in a small cast iron skillet and added a tablespoon of batter to the pan.
As soon as bubbles formed on the surface (about 1½ minutes)…
…I flipped the flapjack over and let it cook for another 30 seconds or so on the other side.
Repeat until done with the batter and enjoy!

This my go to pancake recipe. Tasty, quick, and filling. I add some ground nutmeg to the batter for a bit more flavor. Although I do not get as many pancakes as indicated. but it’s just right for the two of us
Hey Michelle,
Have you tried reheating these from the freezer or fridge? Do they reheat well?
Many thanks,
Joyce
Try warming them up on a skillet, or even in a toaster over or air fryer!
hi . I’m a type two diabetic and was wondering if your wonderful recipes might be suitable for me . thank you so much . Liz
Many of my recipes are low carb so they may work for you!
I love these! I make them for my kids all the time. I add a whole banana and also some canned pumpkin. They turn out creamy and sweet in the middle with a lovely caramelized crust. I’ve also made them with mashed sweet potato which I also recommend
Ooh! Those additions sound delicious!
How do you make these without egg? You have them tagged as vegan more than once. Flax egg?
Whoops! I’ll take off the vegan label.I’ve tried these pancakes with Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer and it works!
Thanks! Knowing they work with an egg replacer helps a lot. Gonna try them out
Is it true that the recipe only takes 1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut flour?
Yep!
We made these today and they are quite tasty! However, we doubled the recipe and only ended up with 9 – 3″ pancakes. Does the batter need to sit for a few minutes before cooking?
I’m stuck at home on a Sunday morning and am completely out of coconut flour…is there any I can substitute for that? I’m desperate to make these 🙂
Thanks
I haven’t tried another flour in place of coconut flour!
I made one change, I used regular milk instead of coconut milk – perhaps this was the issue. Mine were bland and eggy tasting, despite adding a bit more cinnamon and some nutmeg. Also, I found the texture to be really unpleasant. Disappointing!
I am going to try these tonight but sadly do not have any coconut flour. I am going to try and use the almond flour I have though so hopefully that works! Breakfast for supper 🙂
How did it turn out? Almond isn’t a direct sub for coconut, so I hope they turned out ok for you!
Hi Michelle – these paleo pancakes we’re great! Made them for my wife this morning. Love your recipes.
My wife loves a paleo pancake recipe that I’m certain I got from your site several years ago. It was made with bananas, almond butter, and blueberries. I couldn’t find it in your recipe index. Wondering if I could get that recipe, assuming I’m correct that it originally came from you.
Would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
I’m not sure that was my recipe!
