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!

This is a new favorite recipe! Thank you. These pancakes are so easy to make and the texture & taste is fantastic. Used my immersion blender & thinned out with water to pourable consistency. Cooked in coconut oil, waited for the bubbles and….they flipped! Horray! Not one fell apart. They were as described crispy on outside and soft in middle. Reheated a few leftovers in skillet next day and those also held together well and tasted just as great. 🙂

Amazing! Great to hear they turned out for you!
Corryn says
Could you use a food processor if you don’t have a blender?
Jessica Beacom says
Yes, you can use a food processor.

So looked forward to trying this egg free recipe for my morning pancakes. I followed the steps, only substituted the ACV with lemon juice. Not sure what happened, but the insides were not fluffy at all, but gummy in texture. Somewhat elastic. The outside became crispy, but did not brown making it look like a pale pancake. Unfortunately the taste was very starchy. Perhaps the amount of tapioca flour over powered the taste of almond flour since it’s almost a 1:1 ratio. Much to my disappointment, it went down the drain.
Stacie Hassing says
Awww bummer! Some seem to LOVE it and some do not. I do want to add that these pancakes actually taste better when allowed to cooled and then you can pop them in the toaster or in the oven to reheat. It helps to eliminate the the ‘gummy’ texture that is often a result of egg-free/grain-free baking. Once again, sorry this recipe wasn’t for you.
Meg says
BEST PALEO PANCAKES EVER! Make these all the time, and are a favourite in our family. Thank you <3

AMAZING! This is so great to hear!
Sharon says
I am currently eating gluten-grain-egg-dairy free elimination diet and just wanted to eat a “normal” pancake breakfast! I achieved that with this recipe…thank you, thank you! I did cut the recipe in half and the center was slightly gummy, which I attributed to the tapioca starch, but definitely nothing that distracted from my enjoyment of eating a delicious pancake. Will be making again!

Thanks Sharon for sharing your feedback! Glad to hear you enjoyed these pancakes!
