The BEST Paleo Pancake Recipe with Blueberries
Ingredients
- 1.5 tsp cream of tartar
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¾ tsp arrowroot powder
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1.5 tsp coconut sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 Tbs olive oil
- 1 Tbs water
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, ( and extra to put into batter while cooking)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the cream of tartar, baking soda and arrowroot powder. This creates a paleo baking powder that is needed to make the texture of these pancakes.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, salt, paleo baking powder mixture ( made in prior step) and coconut sugar.
- In another small bowl, beat together the egg, almond milk, and vanilla. Stir the egg/milk mixture into the flour mixture. Mix in the olive oil, water, lemon juice. Fold in the blueberries.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to medium. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle/pan for each pancake. Brown on both sides, this was about 2 minutes per side for me.
- Yields 7 pancakes.

- Instead of olive oil, you can use avocado oil.
- Instead of blueberries, you can use a different berry.

Oh these pancakes look delicious! I don’t follow a paleo diet, but I could still definitely get behind these. I bought some almond flour for another recipe, so I just need to find tapioca and coconut flour, and try this recipe out
Can’t believe these are paleo!Amazing photography too. adding fresh berries will be so flavorful than frozen ones.
Yum! Those pancakes look so thick and delicious and bursting with blueberries! I am not at all familiar with paleo diet but those three flours are a regular in my pantry for some gluten-free baking once in a while.
Now that’s a beautiful stack of pancakes. They look just like the pancakes I make on Sunday morning, I can’t believe they are Paleo! I’m going to have to give your version a try tomorrow morning.
I just got those three flours to experiment with! And I wanted a tried and true recipe to use before I started out on my own. This is just right!
These paleo pancakes are seriously light and fluffy and beautiful! I would never have thought you could achieve that with a paleo version! It takes away from them being paleo but I would love these with a few chocolate chips sprinkled into the batter, lol!
These look sensational. So fluffy and light.
And such a great recipe for those following a gluten free diet, like my Father.
Made these tonight- they are perfect! I am always looking for pancakes that use healthier flours, so I feel less guilty about eating them for supper.? I have tried MANY gf pancake recipes- these had the BEST texture. I did use regular baking powder?, cause I don’t think I have arrowroot powder. For reference, I tripled this recipe for my family of six and we had leftovers, so the seven pancakes you make must be pretty large. Thank you so much for making and sharing this recipe!!!!!!? My new favorite!
So so happy to hear it! And happy to hear that regular baking soda works too ( for anyone that wants to use it 🙂 ). My husband and I have biiiig appetites so they probably were large hahaha
My family absolutely looooves pancakes! I’m not super familiar with the Paleo diet, but I enjoy experimenting with different recipes. So interesting that the combination of a few flours can make the texture so much more like traditional pancakes. Pass me a stack!
Oh man, these pancakes look so delicious! Love the addition of fresh blueberries! Cannot believe how light and fluffy they look and they are Paleo!! Just beautiful pics too!
Thank you!! And I knoow! It’s seriously thanks to the paleo baking powder concoction.
