Paleo Gingerbread Pancakes (Grain-Free, Gluten-Free)
Tender paleo pancakes spiced with classic gingerbread flavors, like molasses, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Easy to make, they're the perfect healthy Christmas breakfast.
Yield: pancakes
Equipment
- Medium bowl
- Large bowl
- 2 whisks
- Large skillet or griddle
- Spatula
- Plate
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ⅓ cup tapioca starch
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- ¼ cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Other Ingredients
- coconut oil for frying
- pure maple syrup optional, for serving
- tapioca starch or organic powdered sugar optional, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
- In a large bowl, whisk together wet ingredients.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet and stir until well incorporated.
- Heat a bit of coconut oil in a skillet or griddle over medium or medium-low heat. Spoon pancake batter on, about ¼ cup per pancake. Batter will be thin but will set upon hitting heat, so pour relatively slowly.
- Cook until bubbles form and burst on the surface. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook through, about another minute. Transfer pancakes to plate and set aside. Repeat until all batter has been cooked.
- Serve with pure maple syrup and a sprinkling of tapioca starch to mimic powdered sugar, or use organic powdered sugar.
Notes
- The batter will be thin so make sure your skillet or griddle is well preheated before pouring batter on. Pancakes will form upon hitting the heat but burn easily, so err on the side of a well-preheated medium-low heat. A healthy (PFOA-free) nonstick pan is ideal; I use ceramic frying pans like this.
