I need a Sunday re-do. I’m not ready for the week and there’s nothing more that drives me crazy than starting a week disorganized with loose ends. Type A personality right here people!
I reserve Sunday’s for catching up and getting ready for the week, but recently it’s turned into how many new recipes can I jam into one day. Not only do I now have a stockpile of recipes to edit, but I get nothing else done. I meal prep on Sundays so it’s only logical that if I’m making a new recipe, I will shoot it. Makes sense, right? The problem is you can only cook and shoot so many recipes in day.
Logically I know this, yet somehow I get overzealous and think I can cook and shoot three recipes, edit and update two old recipe photos, meal prep four other things, write two blog posts, schedule social media, do laundry, clean, etc. Suddenly it’s 8pm Sunday night and I’m lamenting in bed over the fact that Monday will soon be here and I’m not ready.
I think most women can relate to this. Yes?
I’ve finally succumb to the fact that I’m only one woman and I can’t do it all. So I’m taking back control of my Sundays and going back to the basics. Sundays are for resting, preparing for the week and making pancakes!
What I look forward to most on Sunday (other than sleeping in) is making a batch of healthy pancakes and these Paleo Coconut Pancakes could not be any more perfect.
Thick, dense and full of flavor, they’re a sure way to satisfy any hunger bug! Packed with 3 grams of protein and fiber this stack is guaranteed to keep you full until lunch. And you know what else? They’re only 68 calories per cake. Uh.huh.uh.huh!
Now for those of you that think pancakes are complicated these are so not. They’re SUPER EASY and I’m all about easy recipes because as you now know, I’m time management challenged.
These Paleo Coconut Pancakes have quickly become my weekly go-to pancake. But rest assured, I’ll still be testing other pancake recipes. Just not on Sunday.

Perfect Paleo Coconut Pancakes
Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tbsp tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine eggs with honey, milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract with a hand mixer. Blend until eggs are fluffy as clouds 2-3 minutes.
- Next add baking soda, baking powder, tapioca flour and mix with hand mixer just to combine.
- Then fold in coconut flour and stir by hand. Be careful to not over mix as coconut flour is extremely absorbent.
Heat a skillet to medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Scoop a 1/4 cup of the batter and add to the skillet.
- Cook 3-4 minutes until small bubbles form in the center of the pancakes then flip to cook another 2 minutes until lightly browned on both sides.
Remove from skillet and place on a baking rack to cool. Repeat for entire batter then devour!

What I Used For The Recipe
Those look so hearty and filling! YUM! I just made pancakes yesterday for the first time in ages…and now I want more. 🙂
I make them every week! I could eat them for dinner too.
There is nothing better than pancakes on a Sunday! These look so fluffy and delicious!
On Sunday or any day, right?
I love the combo of coconut flour and tapioca for pancakes! And I feel like loose ends are never tied up, just constantly hanging out while I attempt to prioritize!
I don’t know how you do it lady with the kiddos!
it’s so FLUFFAAAAAY
HAhaHA!!!
I feel you – Monday comes and I don’t even know where the weekend went. And now we might be moving… just down the street but still. Blech.
Anyway, pancakes. I love the fluff on these! Please start delivering.
Ugh…moving…that hurts my ears. How much are you paying?
These look amazing! A must try recipe!
Thanks friend! xoxo
All that stack of pancakes need is some syrup or greek yogurt. Mmm mm Mmm 🙂
Oh Greek yogurt….for breakfast I’m totally doing it!
This sounds like a great alternative pancake option. Sounds tasty!
They are yummy!
I’ve never used coconut flour but those look delish! I do love a good pancake 🙂 Thanks for linking up with us for meatless Monday today
Oh you must try Deborah! You would love.

They ARE! That’s why they’re so perfect.
I definitely need a redo and preferably this time I want to start with a nice fluffy stack of pancakes like these! They look amazing. I hope the rest of your week goes better. Thank you for linking up with us for Meatless Monday!
Pancakes are the way to kick off a good week. I’m convinced!
Lynne and I are getting more and more into pancakes, so I’ve pinned this recipe. Thanks Megan
Pancakes are not a traditional breakfast here in Scotland. But we certainly think they should be. Especially when they look and sound as yummy as there!
I’m also intrigued to cook with tapioca flour and coconut flour which I haven’t used before.
I’m intrigued by what a Scottish breakfast is now. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by coconut flour and tapioca. They’re one of my favorites to cook with.
Yum!! These look so yummy!
They are addicting!
I have tried to make hear twoce and my batter comes out extremely no thick and the pancakes don’t cook all the way through. What am I doing wrong?
I don’t understand your comment. Were they thick or not thick? The batter is thick and when you place it on a frying pan or skillet, you need to spread into a thin layer otherwise they will be too thick to cook. The other thing to keep in mind is measuring the coconut flour properly. Make sure you’re spooning it into the measuring cup so you’re not getting too much. Coconut flour is picky to work with! Takes practice.
Looks sooo good!! But… In my country we don’t have tapioca flour. How can I replace it? Would it work with oat flour (I know it won’t be gluten free). Thank you!
Arrowroot powder or corn starch would likely work.
