Just made these and they were awesome. Best paleo pancake recipe I have tried so far! I was worried they were a bit runny but I went ahead anyway and they cooked PERFECTLY. My 2 year old daughter ate the ENTIRE batch with some berries. Thank you! Looking forward to some Valentine's recipes!
I have a question....can I substitute the eggs with flax seed and water? Sadly I had to give up eggs due to allergies to them all of a sudden :-( ...so breakfast has now consisted of fruit smoothies and I would love to feel normal again by eating a waffle lol...thanks for the 411!!!
Unfortunately we have not experimented with substituting flax seeds and water for egg in our recipes. We will definitely try out a few recipes to see how the mixture works. It would be good for us to have egg substitutions in our recipes for allergies like yours. You can definitely give it a shot, the flax seeds would create a nice "whole grain" texture/flavor to the waffles as well. If you try it out please let us know!
I am always excited when I hop on here looking for something tasty and discover that most of the ingredients are already in my kitchen. I made the pancakes, added some chocolate chips & banana plus the banana topping.... so yummy! It took me a minute to figure out how much batter to put into the pan, so I did 3/4 of a soup ladle. Thanks for this, t'was awesome! Served the pancakes with blueberry smoothie.
These were absolutely AMAZING! Since finding out I'm gluten intolerant 5 years ago and then choosing to eat a Paleo diet last year I really miss some of the comfort meals, like Sunday morning bruch. My 4 year old son who is also gluten intolerant had never had waffles before. What a treat for both of us, I truely had a small on my face all day. Thanks for sharing all the great receips. Oh and I used honey, they were great! Anna
Whole Foods had a sale on blueberries yesterday, but hubby doesn't like them raw, so I decided on blueberry pancakes for Father's Day weekend. Got up, googled, and found your recipe. I did have to adjust the seasonings for not having the sweet of a banana in there, but some local raw honey did the job. We inhaled them. They were perfect! I love this base, and look forward to playing with additions. It's been a long time since we've had a good pancake, and now I can make them and feel great about what we are eating! Another grand slam! :D I feel some chocolate chip pancakes in my near future. ;)
I'm sorry, but I didn't like these pancakes. I made a half batch and the batter came out really thick, which I thought was normal because it's coconut flour, but some of them didn't cook through in the middle and the ones that did still had an unpleasant texture. Was it my coconut flour? I use Coconut Secret.
Sorry to hear you didn't like the pancakes. It may have been the coconut flour. Our batter seemed to be pretty runny, and we were worried about how they would cook at first. It also may be because you cut the batch in half. Coconut flour is tricky to use. You have to make sure that the wet ingredients to coconut flour ratio is right so that the coconut flour doesn't ruin the recipe. Coconut flour is very dense, and needs to be thinned out to create the right consistency.
I don't know what happened to mine but they were so dry :( I haven't found a coconut pancake that doesn't taste this way. The mixture was very thick just wondering if that's how it's supposed to be and whether they wouldn't work better with more liquid. I've made almond flour (not meal) pancakes that are delicious and fluffy.
These are the first coconut pancakes that I ever made, so I don't have anything to compare them to, but these were mushy on the inside. Normally, when I make regular pancakes, I just go by the bubbles and the brownness of the edges to determine when they are done, but since I'm new to coconut flour, I cooked them for exactly 2 minutes on each side like the recipe says. They were beautiful on the outside, but I was not happy with the texture on the inside. Should I cook them longer or change the batter somehow? Or... is this as good as its going to get?
I made these and they came out very dry and not as flavorful as I'd hoped. I understand now that my batter was too thick. Next time, I will add more coconut milk. I think a little acid in the batter would help the flavor, too. Will try some lemon juice next time. The topping turned out well, though!
Hi Guys. Well I tried this recipe exactly as written. I'm sorry but these were bland, dry, and had a grainy texture (They looked pretty though). My husband didn't care for them, and I couldn't even eat one. I much prefer almond meal when making pancakes. As this was my first attempt at using coconut flour and I would like to be able to use it well, Maybe I need to keep experimenting..
Hi! I made your waffle recipe today =) my husband and I are on a Paleo challenge for six weeks and I figured I tried the waffles with the amazing banana pecan topping for breakfast today...DELICIOUS! The sweetness of the bananas made us not miss the syrup we are so accustomed to....thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us!
I made the pancakes... they looked beautiful and had a pretty nice flavor. I added 1/8 teaspoon salt. They seemed dry to me, though, and I think that's partly because I used dairy rather than coconut milk. I am going to make them again with coconut milk, and also add some melted butter and vanilla.
i made the waffles this morning and loved them! we were avid waffles eaters pre-paleo and finding a good recipe makes my whole family so excited. from my past experience cooking with coconut flour i did add 1 tbsp tapioca flour for a little more moisture and they turned out great.
thanks for all your heeard work on such great recipes!
I just stumbled upon this site. Love it! I made coconut flour waffles this morning but they are bit different using less egg and some banana and arrowroot flour. (http://glutenfreesunshines.blogspot.com/2012/02/breakie-coconut-flour-waffles.html) Looking forward to perusing this site! :)
These were great. Just what I needed. Tried some other coconut flour pancake recipes in the past but they were a disaster. These were dense, a little dry (which I expect with coconut flour) but tasty and yummy with the topping. I didn't even use maple syrup because I wanted to try as is.
Hey just wanted to show some love from Sydney, Aus
ReplyDeleteThe pictures here are totally drool worthy!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather!

I cannot wait until I have some time to make these!

ReplyDeletewould it be reasonable to substitute honey for the stevia?
ReplyDeleteyes absolutely. you can substitute a teaspoon of raw honey for the stevia.

these look great! One question- when you say "coconut milk" are you talking coconut milk in a can or like the drinkable coconut milk?
ReplyDeleteJulie
Hi Jules,
ReplyDeleteWe only use the canned coconut milk.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteDo you know if I can substitute egg whites for the eggs? Or use 1 egg and the rest egg whites?
I really want to try these pancakes out and add whey to them as a nice protein snack.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely adding to the rotation.
