FAQs & Tips
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!
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!
Use cornstarch: If not paleo, you could PROBABLY use cornstarch, but I have not tried this, so cannot promise results. Sometimes you only need half the amount of cornstarch as tapioca, so I would start with 3 Tbsp of cornstarch and see how your batter feels.
As with all gluten free baking, please weigh your flour to ensure accurate results!

Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp Tapioca starch (50g)
- 5 Tbsp Coconut flour, sifted (30g)
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tsp Honey
- 3/4 Cup Ripe banana, mashed (200g or about 1.5 large bananas)
- 1/3 Cup Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the starch, coconut flour, baking powder and salt.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla and honey until well mixed. Add in the banana and almond milk and whisk until well mixed.
-
Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet until well combined. Let stand for 5 minutes so the coconut flour begins to absorb the moisture. Additionally, rub a griddle with coconut oil and pre heat to 350 degrees.
-
Drop the pancake batter by 1/4 cup scoops, spreading onto the griddle just slightly. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and bubbles begin to form in the top, uncooked side, about 6 minutes. Gently flip and cook until the underside is browned, about another 5-6 minutes.
