Paleo Pancakes
Everyone loves a good paleo pancake mix, and I love a good paleo pancake recipe. I find paleo pancake mixes to be expensive, so I mix up my own mix and use it anytime I want paleo pancakes.
About a year ago I started making the dry portion of mixes in bulk and storing them in glass containers so that my sweet husband and girls could easily make the things they love when was traveling. Since then, we tend to keep this paleo pancake mix recipe close so that we always have pre-made mix on hand.
As a bonus, these almond flour pancakes only need a few ingredients that most people have on hand.
Paleo Pancake Mix
All paleo pancake mixes are simply the dry ingredients combined. You always have to add the wet ingredients like eggs, oil, etc. By making it yourself you can keep as much or as little as you want on hand.
Also, it’s saves quite a bit of money if you are making paleo pancakes every week. We like to make up a couple batches of paleo pancakes and keep them in the freezer for busy mornings. My girls pull them out and re-heat them for a delicious homemade breakfast.
If we don’t make paleo pancakes we make gluten-free pancakes using my gluten-free pancake mix recipe. It’s not paleo but it is almond flour free if you can’t do nuts. These almond flour pancakes are packed with healthy fats and protein.
How long can I store paleo pancake mix?
This mix can be stored in an airtight container (or glass container) for up to three months at room temperature. It may stay fresh longer, but I wouldn’t know because we usually griddle our way through the paleo pancake mix before then. For store bought paleo pancake mixes, always check the expiration date printed on the box.
Can I use an egg substitute in almond flour pancakes?
I have used flax-egg and chia seed egg in paleo pancakes and almond flour pancakes before. They are delicious, but they don’t get the same rise as you would if you used eggs. For these paleo pancakes you can use flax egg or Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer.
When I make my own mixes and my own gluten-free flour blend, I personally like to store them in glass jars or containers. I feel that they stay fresh longer, and they are a good storage option.
When I use ball pint mason jars (affiliate link) I purchase the lids that have spots for the date on the lid. I write down when I made the mix or flour blend so I can keep track of how old it is.
Amazon stopped carrying my favorite lids but as soon as I find them again, I will come back and post where to get them.
How to make paleo pancakes
Always follow the recipe first. Don’t work with substitutions until you know how the recipe works. Once your batter is ready, heat your pan or electric griddle and start making your paleo pancakes.
- Mix dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl then transfer to an airtight container if you are saving it for later. Don’t forget to label your container with the date.
- When you are ready to make paleo pancakes: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, and dairy-free milk.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until smooth. If you mixed up more than one batch of paleo pancake mix, measure out approximately 1.5 cups + 1 tablespoon of mix. In weight that’s about 180 g.
- Spoon ¼ cup of prepared paleo pancake batter onto a medium hot griddle and cook until the edges start to brown and bubbles form.
- Flip paleo pancakes over and cook until brown and cooked through.
- Always check for doneness before you remove your pancake from the pan or griddle.
- Serve these paleo pancakes hot.
These almond flour pancakes freeze well.
Measuring Almond Flour
Remember when measuring almond flour to make almond flour pancakes to spoon your flour into your measuring cup, then level it. Do not dip your measuring cup into the flour then level, it will be too much almond flour. I don’t always include the weight of ingredients, but I did include the weight of the almond flour for this paleo pancakes recipe for you.
Pancakes with an electric griddle vs. a pan
You don’t need an electric griddle to make paleo pancakes but I find that it’s way easier. For one, you don’t oil an electric griddle. It’s non-stick. Also, the heat tends to stay even throughout the griddle whereas with a pan the heat might fluctuate. Also, you can make 6-8 grain-free pancakes at once on an electric griddle.

Can I freeze paleo pancakes?
Yes, like I mentioned above, you can freeze paleo pancakes. Always bring your almond flour pancakes to room temperature first, before you freeze them. After they are at room temperature you can store them in an airtight container or a zip lock bag for up to three months. Some people like to place pieces of wax paper or parchment paper between each pancake. I don’t find you need to.

This recipe was amazing. It tastes like cake to us – yum! I left out the tapioca flour because I didn’t have any, I left out the maple syrup from the wet ingredients and instead only used it for a topping, and I added cinnamon to the dry ingredients. So glad I found this recipe! Thank you!

OK, I’m msking these tomorrow. I was just trying to come up with a paleo recipe of my own and now I don”t have to. Yeah.
I’d just like to add that from my own experience as I can’t eat eggs… add 1 tsp baking powder per cup of flour or 1/2 tsp baking soda and a pinch of citric acid or a squeeze of lemon juice and you’ve got your rise; sometimes I do both when I want my pancakes extra pillowy.
chrystal says
Hi Laurel,
I haven’t personally tried making these pancakes without eggs, using the citric acid and leavening. Let me know if it works.
Best,

I wonder if it’s as hard for others to follow a recipe as it is for me? Anyway, I made these brilliant pancakes this morning using 2Tbsp of almond butter for the eggs then smashed up an overripe banana sitting on my counbtertop added that, 2 tsp of homemade mocha powder, cinnamon, the vanilla, baking soda PLUS 1tsp baking powder and 1/8tsp citric acid and had lovely light, tasty paleo pancakes.
The thing I’ve found is that when you can’t eat eggs you miss out on flavor, hence the changes. Also you miss out on the lift you get from eggs which explains the baking powder and citric acid (or squeeze half a lemon). The combination will make about anything rise (think science class volcanoes).
Yummy breakfast. Thank you.

Needed to make these sugar free so I omitted the syrup and added a mashed banana and about 1/4 c. applesauce to a double batch. So light and fluffy. Also…bonus – easy to flip!

Hi Risa,
I am so glad you liked them! I love the idea of adding massed banana and applesauce. Thanks for sharing.
