Grain-free AND egg-free pancakes? You got it!
A recent request for a Paleo Vegan Pancake recipe followed by an unsuccessful internet search for that perfect pancake recipe prompted me to set out on a mission to create one of my own. During my search, I came across several recipes that were egg-free OR grain-free but not both. I was also looking for one that was free of mashed banana (personal preference because I don’t always want my pancake to taste like a banana) which made the search even more difficult. So eight and a half batches, 32 pancakes later, a sink full of dirty dishes and a belly ache from all of the sampling, these Paleo Vegan Pancakes were finally born. My initial plan was to use the batter from our popular Crispy Grain-Free Waffles and simply make pancakes instead. How easy, right?! BUT that didn’t turn out too well and so the tweaking and modifying and sampling began. What I thought would be a simple recipe project turned into something a bit more complex! I’m always up for a challenge…but sheesh.
I must say thought, I totally nailed it!

Paleo Vegan (BLENDER) Pancakes!
My new Ninja Kitchen Blender is put to use on the regular. Almost daily if not several times today. In fact just today, I’ve made a smoothie, a batch of homemade nut milk and these delicious pancakes for tonight’s breakfast for dinner (aka ‘Brinner”)! Blending the Paleo Vegan Pancake batter not only makes for an easy peasy recipe, but also helps to really whip it up resulting in a fluffier, lighter pancake. Because there are no eggs to fluff up the pancakes, blending the batter (along with baking powder and apple cider vinegar) is helpful in creating a fluffy, egg-free pancake.
If you’re looking for a new blender that is more on the budget-friendly end, I highly recommend this powerful blender from Ninja Kitchen. It works wonders! I love that it comes with a 72 oz. blender pitcher for larger recipes as well as two personal sized blender cups for smaller recipes. Best of all, you use the same AutoIQ base for both sizes. Before, I was constantly switching between two blenders depending on the size I needed so I’m pleased to say that those days are in the past thanks to the Ninja Kitchen Blender Duo.
This sauce though!
You’re in for a treat! Our good friend Kelsey from Little Bits of created this must-try, ridiculously tasty and easy Roasted Strawberry Vanilla Bean Sauce! Like the pancakes, this recipe is also whipped together in a blender. It’s made with just 3 ingredients and it’s the perfect topping for my Paleo Vegan Pancakes. For another yummy treat, try mixing the sauce into 6-8 oz. of dairy-free yogurt or chia pudding then topping it with a few dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs! Ummmm…yeah, so good.

Note: thickness or thinness of sauce will depend on how juicy the strawberries are. If needed, feel free to add a little water if you’d like a thinner syrup like consistency.
I couldn’t resist…
Drizzle the Paleo Vegan Pancakes with Roasted Strawberry Vanilla Bean Sauce with warm almond butter. It’s like a “peanut butter” and jelly sandwich…need I say more?! 🙂
Don’t you just want a bite..or three..or eight?!
Make a batch and give em’ a try! And don’t forget the sauce!

Thank you for this! We follow a Paleo lifestyle but I have allergies to eggs and it’s so hard to find recipes like this without eggs. That being said, I also have allergies to almonds, rice, oats & coconuts (hence my Paleo lifestyle 😂). What other flour could I use? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Stacie Hassing says
I tasted this recipe over and over and it just did not work without almond flour. With that said, I’ve been doing some testing with garbanzo bean flour in certain recipes and while beans aren’t paleo per se, if they are something you tolerate, you could give that a try. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help!

My whole family LOVED these! They are delicious and kid approved! I have been looking for a grain free egg free pancake recipe that’s good for months now for our family weekend breakfast and I finally found it! Thank you so much love it!
Stacie Hassing says
Ahhhmazing! We are so happy to hear this 🙂
Sarah says
The flavor of these reminded me of my grandmother’s buttermilk pancakes:)! I love them as is but subbed out 1/2 cup of the tapioca with more almond flour and used 1/4 cup arrowroot to keep them lower-carb. They worked, just not quite as good. Less gooey in the middle though.
Thanks so much for a great grain-free, vegan recipe!
Hana says
My mom, who is a paleo, loves these but she is wondering if she could put an egg in.
Jessica Beacom says
Hi Hana,
I suppose you could – though I can’t say for sure since the recipe was not tested with eggs. Perhaps decrease the liquid by 1/4 cup to start with then add as needed to get the correct consistency.
Mary says
I followed the recipe exactly as written and, like many commenters, the texture was chewy & elastic; very similar to that of Japanese Mochi (or Brazilian Cheese Bread, as someone else stated). Think melted mozzarella that has cooled off: stretchy, and not fluffy at all. But the flavor was pretty good. I’m wondering if I blended it properly. May I suggest you include the blender speed & length of time you blended (I didn’t know whether to use Low / Med / High on my Ninja blender, and for exactly how long). Maybe over-blending works the tapioca too much, causing the elasticity? Just a thought. FYI, I initially blended on low for a few seconds, then scraped the sides, then blended on high for several seconds (thinking this would create more air bubbles for “fluff”). Anyways, thanks for sharing the recipe; I’m glad it works for you and others. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me and I’m still searching for the right egg-free, grain-free recipe.
Stacie Hassing says
Thanks for the feedback. When I make this recipe again, I will make note of speed and time of blending!
