My husband and son are major pancake lovers. MAJOR.
They could happily eat some type of pancakes with bacon or sausage and fruit every day for breakfast and never get bored. Me, on the other hand, I get bored with food and like to continually switch things up.
Even though I do the lion’s share of the cooking in our household, my husband is our pancake guy.
Last week, my little guy wanted pancakes at pretty much every meal and quickly consumed the freezer stash.
After a busy day at preschool, he came home begging for more pancakes. I decided to use Blue Kale Road’s recipe as a starting point and created these Cashew Pancakes.
They are light, fluffy and tender and make a perfect base for some fresh, ripe fruit.
The cashew flour is a nice change from almond flour (which you could easily substitute) and best of all, they don’t use any banana (we always seem to be short on ripe bananas!).
NOTES:
- If you like pancakes and have room in your house for another kitchen appliance, I highly recommend an electric griddle.
- If you are making these in a frying pan, melt some coconut oil or butter in the pan before cooking each batch so they don’t stick.
- Sometimes we serve these with Berry Sauce Recipe but we make it with coconut sugar!

Paleo Cashew Pancakes. Light and Fluffy Grain Free Cashew Pancakes. Gluten Free Cashew Pancakes.
- 1 1/4 cups cashew meal / flour
- 1 teaspoon gluten free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon finely ground sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk from can
- 1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
If using an electric griddle, preheat to 325F. Combine cashew meal, baking powder, cinnamon and sea salt in a mixing bowl. Use a whisk or fork to mix well until all clumps are gone. In another bowl, combine eggs, coconut milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk until well combined, about 2 minutes.
-
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well.
-
Once electric griddle (or frying pan over medium heat with some coconut oil) is hot, use 1/4 cup scoop to measure pancake batter. If you want to make smaller pancakes, use 1/8 cup scoop (or 2 Tablespoons of batter).
-
Cook pancakes 3 to 4 minutes and flip when edges start to brown and you see bubbles. Cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes and serve hot with butter and maple syrup!

This recipe is just what I needed! Am on a Candida diet so had to omit vanilla & syrup. Still yummy and quite filling.
Thanks Allysa!
Hi Julie! So happy to hear this worked for you with the changes. Thanks for letting me know 🙂
This looks exactly like the recipe from Eat Well, Feel Well: More Than 150 Delicious Specific Carbohydrate Diet by Kendall Conrad, published 2010
Hi Carolyn,
I am not familiar with that book but recipe similarities happen all of the time! Either way, hope you give it a try 🙂
About to try this recipe but I need to use egg substitute. I found that you can use 1T Oil, 2T Water and 2T baking Powder or 1T ground flaxseed and 3T Water. With other recipes I have tried, with both these egg substitutes the middle of my pancakes remain moist and they do not rise at all no matter how long I leave them on the griddle. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Judy, I haven’t tried any of those substitutes for this recipe so I can’t say if they will work. If you decide to experiment with changing my recipe, please come back and let us know if it works to help others who may need to make the same change! Thanks 🙂
