FLUFFY PALEO PANCAKES || gluten-free

Paleo pancake mixes can be expensive to buy at the store, so here’s a homemade version that tastes just like the real deal!

Homemade paleo pancakes, where have you been all my life?

If you live in the United States and are a foodie like me, you’ve probably tried MANY pancake mixes before. They’re only all the rage in my foodie community on instagram, Usually you only have to add milk or water, which makes preparation a breeze.

Truth be told though, the mixes can be expensive. But with this homemade paleo pancake mix, it only takes an extra 5 minutes, tops!

And I’m sharing it with all of YOU so you can experience the same joy as I did this morning when I created paleo pancakes that taste just like my favorite mix, but don’t blow up my bank account!

These pancakes require just six simple ingredients:

cassava flour

coconut flour

almond flour

baking soda

egg

unsweetened almond milk

Most people don’t have cassava flour on hand, but it’s very cheap to buy if you know where to look! I got a whole 2-lb bag for only $3.50 from the international store near me!

I also made a protein-packed version of these pancakes, as I always add some sort of plant-based protein powder to my pancakes, whether I’m using a boxed mix or making them from scratch. That way, I feel more satisfied and breakfast keeps me fuller for longer. I recommend a this protein for the best flavor and texture. Plus, using the code LIVIA15 at checkout saves you 15% on your entire order :)

If you do opt for adding the protein powder, keep in mind that you will also need to add more almond milk to the batter. I have specified how much additional milk you will need in the recipe notes, so you know what to do!

I hope you give these pancakes a try, and let me know what you think!
