Yesterday was effing rough. I haven’t hated the world that much in a loooong time. I’m usually a pretty positive person. I have my time of the month where I become Satan, but other than that, I’m good. But yesterday, no go. Satan was screaming out of my body. Not because it was that time of the month, but because I slept 1.5 hours. Not cool. And after sleeping 1.5 hours, I had to head to the gym at 5:30am, in the freezing cold and then act enthused to be there while my coffee went cold in 3 minutes. And then the coffee shop was closed. Acting is challenging when you suck at acting, you haven’t slept and the one coffee shop in walking distance is closed. I almost lost my mind.
I remember when I first started this blog and was working at 4 or 5 CrossFit gyms, getting up at 4am going to bed by 12 or 1am, all while doing 2-3 workouts per day. And I was functioning rather well. Sure, my cortisol was shot and my body was shutting down, but I was still kicking it. Nowadays, no way in hell could I do that. Is that how you know that you’re getting old? Is this why I see people at the gym have babies then stop going to the gym? Because they aren’t sleeping anymore and wouldn’t even be able to stand at the gym, let alone workout? Add that to my having-a-baby cons list. I wonder if any pros will ever sneak on there someday. I wonder.
Speaking of having babies, I finally saw Magic Mike XXL for the first time and jeeeeeez was that dirty. Are male strippers actually like this? Wait, are male strippers actually straight, ripped and charming like that? Because the strip clubs I’ve been to (only female) are not like that. No where was charm involved when I saw women take off their clothes. Did you just think about how lucky Channing Tatum’s wife is while watching that movie? She’s my woman crush Wednesday…if it were Wednesday. Did you see her at the Golden Globes? Dayuuuuuum Gina.
So guess what? As you’re reading this, I’m on a flight to San Antonio. Yessirrybob. Never been to San Antonio. I honestly don’t even know where it’s located in Texas. I just know it’s south of me. Nice Juli, nice. But I’m super pumped to head out there because I’m staying at my friend’s house, Cassy of Fed and Fit, to work on a little project together. This project includes photos and videos so I’m packing probably 10+ outfits for 2 days. Overboard? Sure. But totally worth it. Can’t wait to show you guys what we are working on!

Can coconut milk be subbed for almond milk?
yes, just be aware that it is thicker so you may need to use more of it to thin out the batter (if you are using canned coconut milk)
Love this recipe! Made it last week for my family. Everyone loved it. By the way bought your cookbook Julie Bauer’s Paleo Cookbook and really like it. Loved the pesto shrimp &rice stuffed peppers and the almond milk recipes.
Best paleo pancakes I’ve had so far. Good balance of wet ingredients/flours. I used tapioca starch, is it the same as tapioca flour?
Even without the maple syrup on top I had a sweet breakfast.
5:30 AM in the gym?! I’d literally be dead if I had to go that early! You are such a driven person and you are so admirable for that! These poppyseed pancakes look delicious! I have to try them!
Hey there! I made your mini cinnamon pancakes in your paleo cookbook, and the center just never cooked all the way.. I was just wondering what I did wrong ???? Followed it to a T.. But used a brand of almond milk from whole foods – New Barn. I thought I’d ask here since these pancakes have all the same basic ingredients as the ones in the book. Thank you!
i have no clue, kate! it could be a number of things but mostly likely was the brand of flours that were used. but i honestly can’t say since i was there
Omg give this girl an award or something! I just made these lemon poppyseed pancakes and they were fantastic! thanks so much for sharing the recipe!!!!
woooohoooo! you should get an award for being so nice! so glad you liked them!
I made these pancakes over the weekend, and even though I messed up and ended up using half almond and half coconut flour, they still turned out amazing! I also didn’t have poppyseeds so I substituted with chia seeds. I loved them, and my fiancé approved as well…and that says a lot!
I feel like this recipe will be great for entertaining, and not too complicated that you wouldn’t want to make them for guests.
Thanks again for the great recipe!
So I must be doing something wrong, I have tried making these twice now. The flavor is there but for some reason they do not cook all the way through. I even cooked each side for 7 minutes and the outside was blackened and the middle still raw. I have an electric stove top which I set to 4 (medium) Any ideas what happening here?
I made these for breakfast this morning. They were fantastic! This is the first time I made pancakes (or anything) using flour that was not a wheat flour. I did not tell my husband or my son that this was a GF recipe. I simply asked their opinions and watched them eat. They were a total hit! My only issue (and it is not really an issue), is that the recipe only made 5 1/2 small-medium size pancakes. I followed the recipe exactly and then added about 2 tablespoons more of the almond milk to extend the batter a little. The recipe was still a hit and I will be making these again and again!
Both my husband and I thought these were pretty amazing. My kids weren’t big fans, which is fine with me because my breakfast for tomorrow is ready to go.
