Paleo Vegan Pancakes are soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. A scrumptious pancake that even those who follow an egg-free AND grain-free lifestyle can enjoy.

Grain-free AND egg-free pancakes? You got it!

A recent request for a Paleo Vegan Pancake recipe followed by an unsuccessful internet search for that perfect pancake recipe prompted me to set out on a mission to create one of my own. During my search, I came across several recipes that were egg-free OR grain-free but not both. I was also looking for one that was free of mashed banana (personal preference because I don’t always want my pancake to taste like a banana) which made the search even more difficult. So eight and a half batches, 32 pancakes later, a sink full of dirty dishes and a belly ache from all of the sampling, these Paleo Vegan Pancakes were finally born. My initial plan was to use the batter from our popular Crispy Grain-Free Waffles and simply make pancakes instead. How easy, right?! BUT that didn’t turn out too well and so the tweaking and modifying and sampling began. What I thought would be a simple recipe project turned into something a bit more complex! I’m always up for a challenge…but sheesh.

I must say thought, I totally nailed it!

Paleo Vegan (BLENDER) Pancakes!

My new Ninja Kitchen Blender is put to use on the regular. Almost daily if not several times today. In fact just today, I’ve made a smoothie, a batch of homemade nut milk and these delicious pancakes for tonight’s breakfast for dinner (aka ‘Brinner”)! Blending the Paleo Vegan Pancake batter not only makes for an easy peasy recipe, but also helps to really whip it up resulting in a fluffier, lighter pancake. Because there are no eggs to fluff up the pancakes, blending the batter (along with baking powder and apple cider vinegar) is helpful in creating a fluffy, egg-free pancake.

If you’re looking for a new blender that is more on the budget-friendly end, I highly recommend this powerful blender from Ninja Kitchen. It works wonders! I love that it comes with a 72 oz. blender pitcher for larger recipes as well as two personal sized blender cups for smaller recipes. Best of all, you use the same AutoIQ base for both sizes. Before, I was constantly switching between two blenders depending on the size I needed so I’m pleased to say that those days are in the past thanks to the Ninja Kitchen Blender Duo.

This sauce though!

You’re in for a treat! Our good friend Kelsey from Little Bits of created this must-try, ridiculously tasty and easy Roasted Strawberry Vanilla Bean Sauce! Like the pancakes, this recipe is also whipped together in a blender. It’s made with just 3 ingredients and it’s the perfect topping for my Paleo Vegan Pancakes. For another yummy treat, try mixing the sauce into 6-8 oz. of dairy-free yogurt or chia pudding then topping it with a few dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs! Ummmm…yeah, so good.

Get Kelsey’s Roasted Strawberry Vanilla Bean Sauce recipe HERE! 

Note: thickness or thinness of sauce will depend on how juicy the strawberries are. If needed, feel free to add a little water if you’d like a thinner syrup like consistency.

Drizzle the Paleo Vegan Pancakes with Roasted Strawberry Vanilla Bean Sauce with warm almond butter. It’s like a “peanut butter” and jelly sandwich…need I say more?! 🙂

    Thank God for recipes like this! I have to give up dairy, eggs, and gluten for at least a month and I LOVE making pancakes and waffles. I’m going to try turning this into protein waffles this weekend and see how it goes! Any suggestions when it comes to turning pancake recipes into waffle recipes?

      Hi Ashely! We’re so glad we could be of help 🙂 I too love waffles and pancakes. In fact, I eat them almost every morning and I’m also experimenting with no eggs. I would recommend following our crispy grain free waffle recipe which are gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free. https://therealfoodrds.com/crispy-grain-free-waffles/. To add more protein you could try replacing protein powder for some of the almond flour. Maybe start with a 1/2 cup. Let us know how they turn out!

        unfortunately like the other reviewer mine turned out to be a huge bowl of a mess. After adding almost 4 cups of almond milk to thin it, it took all the flavor out and would not cook. Sad waste of ingredients and mornin time.

          I’m sorry to hear that these didn’t work out for you. Four cups of almond milk seems like a lot for the amount of flour in the recipe. Did you scoop the tapioca (and/or almond flour) from the bag with the measuring cup? If so, that may be why your batter was so thick.

      Hey Ashley,

      Waffles typically have a higher percentage of fat (oil/butter/ghee, etc.) and sweetener than pancakes do. This is what makes them crispy (fat) and browned (sugar) on the outside while giving them a light, airy texture on the inside.

      I’m not sure you’ll get them light and airy using protein powder but if you’re OK with that, then great – give it a try and let us know how they turn out.

      You may also want to consider starting with our Crispy Grain-free Waffle recipe which is also gluten-, dairy- and egg-free and utterly delicious.

      Hi Meghan,

      Coconut flour would not be an acceptable substitute for almond flour because it soaks up a LOT of moisture. If you’re looking to replace the almond flour because of nut issues, I’d suggest trying a seed flour like sunflower or pumpkin seed.

            The almond flour. My local groceries don’t carry sunflower seed flour or pumpkin seed flour, but they do have flax seed flour. Just wondering if that will work or if I should order one of the other seed flours online. Thank you!

          • Jessica Beacom says

            January 22, 2018 at 7:56 am

            Hey Brooke,

            Thanks for clarifying. The flax seed flour would not produce the same results as the almond flour. Since flax becomes very gummy with the addition of liquid I’m afraid your batter would get a thick, glue-like texture that wouldn’t produce nice fluffy pancakes.

      Nut seed flour is very easy to make at home. Start with unsalted raw sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Put into a blender or food processor and pulse. Stop and shake every 20-30 seconds. Keep an eye on the powder, you want a fine powder. If you blend too long, you’ll end up with seed butter.

    These turned out really good! I subbed the maple syrup for a little liquid Stevia, and I had to add a 1/4 cup ground golden flax and an additional 1/4 cup tapioca flour to make the pancake consistency that I wanted. I think because of the tapioca flour (starch), they were a little goey and chewy in the middle and it was delightful. It reminded me of those cheesy bread puffs that you get at Brazilian steakhouses lol! Those are made with tapioca flour too. May have been that I also didn’t cook long enough, who knows…but they were really awesome! I rolled them up with almond butter and assumed nursing position on the couch with my 9 month old. It was exactly what I needed! Thanks for the recipe. I was out of eggs and needed something easy!

      Huh! I have found with grain-free/vegan baking that sometimes if you let them set for just a bit after making them and before eating them, they will become less ‘wet’ in the middle. I would recommend trying a a lower heat for a longer period of time. Sorry they didn’t turn out for you!

    I just made these today and they cooked beautifully but texture was a flop for me. I’m wondering if it’s personal preference or just the way the pancake is. They were so chewy and gummy that when I cut it with the knife and fork they became somewhat elastic (think of how cheese stretches when you pull a slice of pizza from the pie. I have found this similar texture when using tapioca flour. Is this the way these come out? I was really looking forward but I cannot get past this texture! Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

      Hmmmmmmm…..I’m not sure what happened. Sometimes I wonder if the brand of flours can change the texture. I did not get that same texture when I tested this recipe. I do however notice with any egg-free + gluten-free baking the texture of the recipes improve as they sit for just a bit. Additionally, these are definitely different from a traditional pancake made with regular flours. So when compared to a traditional pancake, the texture of theses Paleo Vegan ones is different. Sorry you didnt enjoy this recipe.

      Hi Rachel,
      We’re so thrilled that you love these pancakes. As for the batter getting thick, this is likely due to the fact that sometimes when you multiply a recipe (especially when it comes to batter and doughs) you need to tweak the liquid:dry ratio, in my experience. Adding a bit more liquid to thin the batter to the consistency you get when you make a single batch should do the trick.

    After EIGHT YEARS of cooking gluten, dairy, soy, grain, sugar etc for my awesome daughter, I am doing a tap dance for these pancakes. Thank you SO MUCH. We had to sub coconut milk, but it worked better than we ever would have guessed. She actually thought they were wheat at first bite (mind you, she hasn’t had wheat years, but the texture made her pause). And our battered budget thanks you, too! (And for all of you reading and wondering if it is worth it – we used a regular blender and left our batter a smitch on the dry side…so that we had to scoop more than pour. SO worth it!)

      I tasted this recipe over and over and it just did not work without almond flour. With that said, I’ve been doing some testing with garbanzo bean flour in certain recipes and while beans aren’t paleo per se, if they are something you tolerate, you could give that a try.

    I followed the recipe exactly as written and, like many commenters, the texture was chewy & elastic; very similar to that of Japanese Mochi (or Brazilian Cheese Bread, as someone else stated). Think melted mozzarella that has cooled off: stretchy, and not fluffy at all. But the flavor was pretty good. I’m wondering if I blended it properly. May I suggest you include the blender speed & length of time you blended (I didn’t know whether to use Low / Med / High on my Ninja blender, and for exactly how long). Maybe over-blending works the tapioca too much, causing the elasticity? Just a thought. FYI, I initially blended on low for a few seconds, then scraped the sides, then blended on high for several seconds (thinking this would create more air bubbles for “fluff”). Anyways, thanks for sharing the recipe; I’m glad it works for you and others. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me and I’m still searching for the right egg-free, grain-free recipe.

      Hi Nick,

      We haven’t tested the recipe with a substitute for coconut oil though I supposed applesauce or mashed banana may work. If you try it, we’d love to hear how they turn out.

    Is it just the maple syrup that makes this a higher carb meal?

      Hi Merry,

      The carbs come from the syrup and the tapioca flour.

      Let them cool a little before eating. It helps with the texture.

      Hi Amber,

      I love the idea of using ground oats (for those who tolerate them) for the tapioca in a pinch – especially for those who don’t have tapioca flour on hand or don’t tolerate it.

    I just made these and found them to be *extremely* gummy. I’m guessing this is due to the tapioca flour. Do you really use 3/4 cup of tapioca and 1 cup of almond flour or is that maybe a typo? After eating this I’m thinking maybe 1/4 cup of tapioca.

      You could try arrowroot flour but we have not tested this recipe with arrowroot so no guarantees with how they will turn out. Potato flour may also work. If you do give them a try with a different flour, we’d love to hear how they turn out.

    This is a new favorite recipe! Thank you. These pancakes are so easy to make and the texture & taste is fantastic. Used my immersion blender & thinned out with water to pourable consistency. Cooked in coconut oil, waited for the bubbles and….they flipped! Horray! Not one fell apart. They were as described crispy on outside and soft in middle. Reheated a few leftovers in skillet next day and those also held together well and tasted just as great. 🙂

    So looked forward to trying this egg free recipe for my morning pancakes. I followed the steps, only substituted the ACV with lemon juice. Not sure what happened, but the insides were not fluffy at all, but gummy in texture. Somewhat elastic. The outside became crispy, but did not brown making it look like a pale pancake. Unfortunately the taste was very starchy. Perhaps the amount of tapioca flour over powered the taste of almond flour since it’s almost a 1:1 ratio. Much to my disappointment, it went down the drain.

      Awww bummer! Some seem to LOVE it and some do not. I do want to add that these pancakes actually taste better when allowed to cooled and then you can pop them in the toaster or in the oven to reheat. It helps to eliminate the the ‘gummy’ texture that is often a result of egg-free/grain-free baking. Once again, sorry this recipe wasn’t for you.

I did cut the recipe in half and the center was slightly gummy, which I attributed to the tapioca starch, but definitely nothing that distracted from my enjoyment of eating a delicious pancake. Will be making again!

      Hi Hannah, as with a lot of grain-free/gluten-free baking, these pancakes actually taste best after they sit for a bit. You may have need to cook them on a lower setting and for a longer period of time. I personally think the leftovers taste better than fresh off the griddle. I like to pop them in the toaster to reheat. Hope that helps!

    This is the first vegan, gluten free, grain free pancake recipe that has ever worked for me. And I’ve tried many. These are a thin pancake just like in the pictures. Because of the tapioca starch, there is a very slight ‘stretch’ to the pancake when if you pull it apart, but that is to be expected and not an issue whatsoever. I wonder if you replaced 1/4 cup tapioca starch with 2 flax egg’s how that would work. Either way, very happy and thankful to finally find a pancake recipe with success!!!

      Hi Jessica,

      You may need to reduce the heat just a bit to allow the insides to cook more before the outsides brown. Also, as with many vegan grain-free baked goods, they’re better after they’ve had time to ‘rest’. So making them ahead of time to reheat later can give you better results (that’s what I do – I just keep a stash in my freezer for when I want them then reheat them in my toaster oven).

    The first time I made these they were good but pretty gummy. The next time I added a chia egg (1T chia and 3T water and sit until gelled) and it turned out way better. I didn’t have to lower the almond milk, but that will depend on brands on flours used. I find some absorb more liquid than others. Thanks for the recipe! Even my kids loved them.
