Yesterday morning I woke up and lay in bed, pondering what to make for breakfast. Oats? Nah….Scrambled eggs? hmmm maybe…or Pancakes??? Ding ding ding we have a winner!!!
By the time I finally peeled myself out of bed I was pretty darn hungry. I wanted pancakes like 5 minutes ago. So I threw some ingredients in my blender, hoping for the best. A few minutes later I had silver dollar pancakes sizzling in my skillet. While my pancakes were a sizzling I decided to make a quick blueberry syrup to go on top. I simply took some frozen blueberries and nuked them in the microwave for a couple of minutes, stirring a few times until they reduced down.
I hadn’t made pancakes in forever and a day, so you can imagine my excitement when I sat down and dove in. I took my first bite, and quite literally did a happy dance in my chair. Oh pancakes how I’ve missed you so.

Pancakes are always my go to breakfast when I have time to make ‘em
these look great!
Wow, these look delicious and like they won’t leave me hungry like most other pancakes do.
they are super good!
These look great! I bet they would be good washed down with a green smoothie too! (Teehee!!) – I wouls love a plate of these served to me…they look amazing!
Making a morning smoothie turned into a #epicfail. Although I did make this batter in a blender…so I’m halfway there. When I do make one I’ll be sure to document it!!!
These look delicious! I love making quick and simple protein pancakes in the morning too with a banana.
I know…how good are they!
I like cinnamon walnuts with a little agave/honey/maple syrup and extra virgin coconut oil spread on top of my banana pancakes! Yum!!
That sounds great! I’m loving walnuts at the moment too
They tasted great! Thank you for sharing this recipe! I wonder if I did something wrong though, as mine were very thin and runny.
Hi Barb! You could try adding a bit more coconut flour next time to help thicken up the batter and use a little less liquid as well. I’ve been tweaking the recipe a bit and have a new version to post up soon
