Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 eggs

  • cup applesauce

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup almond flour

  • cup tapioca flour

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 3 tablespoons water, or as needed

  • 1 ½ teaspoons coconut oil, or as needed

Directions

  1. Whisk eggs lightly in a large bowl. Add applesauce and vanilla extract; mix to combine.

  2. Combine almond flour, tapioca flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add to egg mixture; mix until just combined. Add water until batter is desired thickness. Set batter aside to rest for 15 minutes.

  3. Melt coconut oil on a griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Cook's Notes:

You may want to substitute baking powder for baking soda if you're not 100% paleo.

You can add more or less water than the recipe calls for, depending on how thick or thin you want your pancakes to be.
