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.

Absolutely delicious! The best paleo pancakes I have ever had.
Do you know what the nutrition facts are for these?
No I don’t
Just made these for my non paleo niece and nephew and even my super picky nephew gobbled them up and asked or more 🙂
So… I know that I am super late for this party; but, I just made these this am. (Super delish, btw!) Though, I think that I might have made a slight mistake. Instead of this making 15 (or more) 3 tablespoon pancakes, I only able had enough batter to make 6. Is this because I let the batter sit too long while making the compote? Or perhaps because I realized that i was out of baking soda and had to substitute baking powder (3x the amount of called for baking soda)? Any insight is welcome. Thanks!
hmmmm I’m really not sure. you should have more, but letting the batter sit too long definitely could change it. that flour tends to thicken as it sits. wish i could help more!
Thank you so much for this recipe. Its brilliant!
I live your recipes and sense of humor ! I am trying these today, I started paleo with a whole thirty challenge with my box, I love it as it has stopped my migraines! Now if I could just convert my husband who thinks I am starving him to death!
Amazing recipie!! Great way to start a Sunday morning here in New Zealand!!
Sooooo… goood!!!… Thanks for this!!!… Made me keep being in track but also having something delicious for breakfast!! 😀
I’ve made a lot of different paleo pancake recipes and they usually turn out fine but I’ve never been wowed which, I guess, is why I found yours as I kept looking. This was an easy and fantastic recipe. The pancakes were light and fluffy with a bit of crisp (I cooked them in lard) to the edges, and my boyfriend, who is not paleo, took one bite and said they just taste like pancakes. He was impressed and so was I. Great job!
These are awesome but I only made 6-8 pancakes:-/. Obviously bigger than 3 inches but I can’t fig out what else I did wrong. If u make 3 in pancakes how many do u eat????
The berries r awesome tooooo
however many you want!
