I really don’t even know what a compote is.
Btw, I’m in a bake shop right now and it smells stupid good. Like double chocolate cookies. Some with Reese’s mini cups in the middle. FML. Sometimes paleo is just not quite as fun.
Speaking of stupid good, these pancakes definitely were delicious. And they cooked up just perfect. I usually have a hell of a time making pancakes, but I’ve found that if you just make them smaller, they turn out. And smaller things are cuter. Just a fact. But what I think made these pancakes delicious was how I made them. You see, I just got 2 new swimsuits in from Victoria’s Secret. Well, kind of. My ass is on the plump side, so I had to exchange my medium bottoms for large, so once I got those, I tried them on. And I just so happened to be making pancakes while I tried my new swimsuits on. Multitasking is always something going on in my house. So while I made around 15-20 pancakes, I stood in the kitchen, while it was snowing outside, in my bright coral colored swimsuit. I must just be super stoked about my beach trips coming up because I’m not feeling super great in the swimsuits yet. Just neutral. Either way, they fit, and that’s a plus.
But when it came to taking pictures of these cute little pancakes, which I take outside on my front porch, I decided I didn’t want to change out of my swimsuit. Rather just put on a robe. And a jacket. And furry boots. I squatted while taking this food picture. My poor neighbors. Wanna see my outfit? Cool.
Let’s talk about cooler outfits though. Did you know I have a clothing line? Ok, it’s not really a clothing line, but I do have pretty sweet PaleOMG apparel {No longer available}. I got some tanks, some shirts, and even headbands because people shouldn’t have to ever, EVER workout without a headband. The other day I did that and I could taste my sweat. Who wants that? No one, that’s who. Anyways, coming up in March, I’m going to host a PaleOMG apparel contest. I want people to send in their best pictures in their PaleOMG gear. Whether that’s while doing a 1rm deadlift, cooking up a delicious recipe, or while making out with a rando. Ok, it doesn’t have to be a rando. It could be your lover. That would probably be less weird. But what matters is how rad you make the picture in your PaleOMG gear. And the winner gets something really cool, a prize that will include my first cookbook. What do you think about that idea? I want some feedback before I do it. NOW SPEAK!
Banana Vanilla Bean Pancakes with Mixed Berry Compote
- Yield: 4-5 1x
Ingredients
- 2 bananas, peeled
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 vanilla bean pod
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- sprinkle of cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1–2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Place banana in a food processor and puree until smooth.
- Then crack eggs into food processor and mix together.
- Now you’ll want to get the beans out of you vanilla bean pod. Use a sharp knife to cut the pod in halve, lengthwise. Then use the back of your knife to scrape out the inside of the pod, removing all the flecks.
- Toss the flecks into the food processor along with coconut flour, vanilla extract, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Puree until smooth.
- Now heat up a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once skillet is hot, pour around 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture into skillet. I made each pancake about 3 inches, and that was perfect for flipping.
- Wait until each pancake begins to form bubbles on the surface, then flip. If you keep the pancakes smaller, the will cook more evenly and flip perfectly.
- While the pancakes are cooking, let’s make the compote.
- Place frozen berries in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the mixed berries begin to soften, add in honey and use a spatula to break up the berries even more.
- Make all your pancakes and top with berry compote.
Notes
Makes 16-18, 3 inch pancakes

I just made these and they certainly didn’t look as pretty as yours did! But they tasted delicious 🙂
Day 5 of 30 day Paleo challenge -seriously need something special on this Sunday morning. OMG did these ROCK! Thank you!!
These are sooooo good! I ate 3 . . And I loved every minute of it:) Thank you!
I’m in LOVE!!!! First pancakes I’ve had in 2 months, and the BEST PANCAKES EVER!!!!!
When cooking these, low heat & patience are key,
But worth every saliva inducing second!
April, I wish I read your post prior to making these yummie pancakes. I struggled with pancakes. Nevertheless, no matter how sloppy they looked, I thoroughly enjoyed them.
I made these, they were fantastic, But I had to double the recipe for my family of 4.
We are new to paleo and dairy free due to health issues with our kiddos. Tried these this morning and my incredibly picky 2 yr old (who only likes carbs and cheese) ate 3 servings!! I’m struggling to feed him anything due to his pickiness and these are a goldmine. Just an FYI, I learned long ago that you can hide veggies in “breads”. So I added a shredded zucchini (uncooked) into the batter. I always do this to help get veggies into my kiddos ( Someday they”ll ask why mom’s foods are green). They were great! Thank you
I am making these right now, and I am having a heck of a time flipping them. Even when they get super brown on the bottom, they do not want to stay together when I flip them. I am making them super small, and it is still giving me problems. Do I need to add more coconut flour to thicken them up a bit?
yes, i would add more coconut flour next time
So I just made these, at 2:30 pm in the afternoon, cause its my day off and I do what I want! They were heaven in my mouth!! Seriously the best paleo pancakes I’ve even eaten, and I am a connoisseur of pancakes. If you don’t have vanilla beans on hand it’s ok they’ll still taste great, but I seriously urge everyone to go out and get some real vanilla beans! I mean I got mine at Costco for gods sake! Also I halved the recipe, but used two eggs and it came out perfect! Thanks Juli for another fantastic recipe!
Thanks for this awesome recipe. It is even kid approved. I made them for my super picky nephew and he devoured them. I added a few Enjoy Life chocolate chips to his and he loved it.
I have just included a link to your delicious pancake recipe in our blog post about paleo today!! 🙂 Super tasty and they were the only ones that did not break apart after trying other paleo pancake varieties! Katharina
