How to make Paleo Banana Pancakes
Whisk
Add the flour, starch, baking powder and salt to a small bowl and whisk to combine. In a large bowl, add the eggs, vanilla and honey and whisk until they are well combined. Add int he banana and almond milk and continue whisking until everything is well mixed. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and whisk until just combined.
Prepare
Let the coconut flour pancakes batter sit so that the coconut flour can absorb the moisture. While it’s sitting, rub or spray your griddle with coconut oil and heat it up.
Cook
Drop the batter in rounds onto the heated, oiled griddle. Cook until the bottom is brown and the uncooked side begins to bubble, then flip and cook for the same amount of time on the other side. Repeat until you’ve used up all the pancake batter.

Top Tips for making Paleo Banana Pancakes
- Weigh the starch and flour: Weighing ingredients when baking is important, because it will give the best result in your finished product!
- Let the batter rest: By letting your pancake batter sit for a little while, you will allow the coconut flour to start soaking up the moisture, resulting in better, fluffier pancakes.
- Don’t make them too big: If the pancakes are too large, you may find them hard to flip!
- Cook them in Ghee: Adding some ghee to your griddle will make your pancakes EXTRA tasty!
Topping Ideas
You can dress up your pancake paleo banana or dress them down! These pancakes would be so delicious with some whipped cream or coconut cream and some fresh berries on top, drizzled with pure maple syrup. If you want to get fancy, try topping your pancakes with some roasted peaches or cooked apples from my healthy apple pancakes!
How to freeze Banana Pancakes
Freezing pancakes is a great way to have quick, re-heatable, delicious breakfasts for your every day busy mornings! To freeze these pancakes, I recommend first cooling them, then stacking them with pieces of parchment in between each pancake to prevent them from sticking together. Then, place the stack in a freezer safe zip lock style bag and pop it in the freezer for up to 3 months!
Now, go and GET THEM.

Hi! Is the amount per serving for the entire recipe? (1 recipe = 1 serving?) Tried this with an equal amount of cornstarch as sub for tapioca starch, worked well for me! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Timmy, I am glad the cornstarch substitution worked out well! This should make 8 servings if you use the quantities I outlined in the recipe.
