If you're wondering how to make pancake syrup from scratch, I've got you covered. This healthy pancake syrup recipe is made with blueberries and cherries, and sweetened with apple juice and stevia. If you don't care for stevia, use a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup and it will be just as delicious.
Growing up I loved blueberry pancake syrup. Of course, in the old days the stuff we ate was packed with sugar and preservatives, hardly a real food. This homemade pancake syrup is made with real fruit and is especially healthy because it contains super food blueberries. Blueberries are not only delicious, they're low on the glycemic index, contain loads of fiber, and are packed with plant phenols and antioxidants.
You can pepare this berry syrup in advance, so that it has time to thicken, and then serve it with my Paleo Pancakes or with Paleo Crepes.
This Cherry Berry Pancake Syrup is another wonderfully satisfying recipe that I am sharing from my third book, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry. My boys gobble up this Paleo pancake syrup recipe on top of my Paleo Pancakes and sometimes I simply serve it for dessert with a heaping dollop of fresh homemade whipped cream. I also like to serve this syrup over my paleo crepe recipe along with a nice helping of Coconut Whipped Cream. This combination makes for a fantastic Paleo Christmas brunch, or a wonderful Paleo Easter brunch!
I am particularly fond of this pancake syrup recipe because it replaces high glycemic pancake syrup with a lower-carb, healthier version full of fruit and good fiber! The best part? No compromise on taste, and of course, it's quick and easy to make.

I have an extremely picky 11-month old and we’re introducing solids to him. I tried giving him the cherry berry syrup on some whole milk Greek yogurt and that kid loves it! I love it! I was a little worried that I made too much initially but now before the three day mark, it’s practically gone! Great recipe!
Can this filling be used for Paleo cakes, tarts etc, or even muffin centres?
Absolutely awesome, looks so delicious and yummm!!!
Can this be canned to last longer?
Oh wow! This looks really delicious, and so refreshing too! Excited to try it!
This is a new sauce for me. Growing up my mom also made the blueberry sauce but not cherry. This will be a nice change up.
This looks absolutely delish! Can’t wait to try it!
We live in Costa Rica where frozen cherries are a thing we could only wish for. Could you substitute frozen strawberries with a similar result?
Hi Diane,
Although I haven’t tried that I imagine it would be delicious :-)

This is a wonderful recipe that I look forward to using in my home often. I love how it is naturally sweetened!
Gonna try making this with our poha berries, a kind of ground cherry.
