Everyone likes pancakes. So I was quite happy when the Almond Board asked me to create a pancake recipe for them. I do have a couple of other gluten-free pancake recipes, though I think this pancake recipe is the best of the bunch!
Hope you enjoy these high protein, gluten-free and paleo Silver Dollar Pancakes made with almond flour as much as we have.

- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

I’m getting ready to head out to Los Angeles for a book signing on Saturday, June 12th at Erewhon and some other fun little events that I’m doing for the Almond Board. Stay tuned for more information this coming Wednesday.

Elena,
I tried the gluten free paleo bread from your new cookbook and that turned out GREAT. These pancakes, however, were a struggle. The batter was really thick and there was no way I could get 18 pancakes out of this batter, maybe 8. They burned before there were any bubbles. I’m at 7,200 ft in CO. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
Sandy

Hands down the BEST pancake recipe I have ever tried! Gluten free or not. These are super yummy, especially when you add chocolate chips :)

Im not sure what i did wrong. i used honey instead of agava but everything else was exact. My batter came out way too thick. even after adding more water and egg it was still a little too think so im going to add more water and see what happens

if you are looking for a sweet and delicious variation on this wonderful recipe then I would recommend doing what I did.
Take out the honey, and instead put 2 heaping tablespoons of jelly or fruit preserves and 2 tbs of all natural peanut butter into the pancake mix.
It becomes peanut butter jelly pancakes without any added sweetener and they are absolutely delicious.
for extra flavor on the outside in the pan I put coconut butter instead of oil.

Thanks for a great recipe- the husband didn’t even notice they weren’t “normal” pancakes! Your website has been a great resource for me :)

I love your silverdollar pancake recipe. I substituted the agavae and honey with stevia due to sugar sensitivies. Yum! They taste like cookies! A great gluten free and low glycemic treat…which will be a regular in my recipe box!
Thanks, Laura

These were amazing! This was my first attempt at paleo pancakes so I wasn’t expecting much… But my 2 year old son and my boyfriend loved them! My son ate sooo much! I’m so happy to be able to give him a healthy breakfast that he loves! My boyfriend even said these pancakes were better than regular ones! Thank you for sharing this recipe! I can’t wait to try more!

My family and I have recently adopted a Paleo friendly lifestyle and your website keeps me motivated to try new things. We are a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids ages 7, 6, 2 and 7 months). We made a deal that this was going to be the year to do better with our eating. My kids LOVED your pancakes!!!! They were a huge hit so every Saturday and Sunday we have them. You have a real gift for making things so simple and easy to follow and being a mom of 4 I can really appreciate that. Thanks for sharing with us!

To make these pancakes can I substitute the almond flour for a gluten free flour or will it not make a pancake?
