OMG. These pancakes are like, the fluffiest pancakes ever. I want to marry them, then eat them for my honeymoon. Yep. Fact.
All I want to do is ride my bike everywhere. Mostly because it’s been about a thousand degrees here in Denver. And leather seats aren’t so friendly in this heat. I have to keep a towel on the seat of my car so my seat doesn’t become a slip and slide. Gross. So the other day, as I rode my bike everywhere while blasting Carrie Underwood from my phone, I came across a garage sale. I dig garage sales. My mom used to take me to garage sales all.the.time and I kind of hated them, but man, am I a sucker for a sweet deal. So I stopped at the garage sale, found some gorgeous white and glass shutter doors and purchased them right there. I had to go get my car, obviously. I’m not that strong anymore. I don’t know why I wanted these shutters, but they called my name. I want to put them in my imaginary house that I want to purchase next year. I have no idea where I will be living or what my place will look like but I guess I’ll be using some glass shutters as decorations. I have to now. I spent $10.
Am I going through a quarter life crisis? Is that a real thing? Is this what it’s like? You purchase things for imaginary circumstances? Too many questions for one paragraph. Moving on.
So I contradicted myself for at least the 46th time on my blog. You know how I told you that I don’t like going out and drinking. Well, I did it. And I actually really enjoyed myself. And I even worked out the next morning, wreaking of alcohol and feeling like less than 35%. I think that alcohol should only be consumed with certain people. Like people who love dance music and food. Fun, drunk nights are only enjoyable if there is dancing in the end. And working out the next morning, still drunk or not, it makes the endorphins flutter and keeps you from hitting the drunk depression. I’ve found the secret to consuming alcohol! Drinking with good looking, happy people, dancing, coffee, excess of water, working out, more water, garage sales for your imaginary house, then more water. Pretty simple. Sorry I contradicted myself once again, but sometimes, you just gotta say ‘eff it’.
I did find out that I still don’t like being the sober person out at the bars the next day. When girls are actually telling my guy friends that they wore a short skirt for them and want them to take them home, I know I’m in over my head at that bar. That’s really not a sexy look for ladies. So I went home and watched reruns of friends while reading paleo cookbooks. I personally think that’s a fantastic Saturday night.
Someone shared this video with me. Sometimes, it’s truly the story of my life. Mostly because I completely remember saying ‘Can I wear this shirt as a dress?’ in college. Wow.
I wonder how long these shutters will be in the trunk of my car.
Lemon Raspberry Pancakes
- Yield: 2-3 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
For the pancakes
- 3 eggs, whisked
- 1/2 cup almond milk + 3 tablespoons (carton, unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cuptapioca flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- coconut oil, for greasing pan
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the first three ingredients: raspberries, lemon juice, and honey. Mix together and let simmer. Once raspberries have broken down, bring heat to low to let thicken slightly.
- Whisk together pancake ingredients: eggs, almond milk, honey and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
- Then, while continuously whisking, add coconut flour, tapioca flour, baking powder and baking soda and a pinch of salt to the large bowl. Whisk until batter is well combined.
- Grease a large pan or pancake griddle and place over medium heat. Once pan is hot, use a large ladle to pour a pancakes size pancake on the pan. Then use a small spoon to scoop out a tablespoon of the raspberry jam mixture and swirl it around on the top of the pancake.
- Once pancake has cooked and bubbles begin to surface on the top of the pancake, flip it. The pancake should need to cook for 2-3 minutes each side.

After months spent trying numerous recipies to help me maintain a year and a half project to a healthier me, I felt I needed to jump on the ‘comment bandwagon’. First, these pancakes are amazing! Having had many attempts to find one my husband and 3 daughters like, I am thrilled that I can put this one in the success column! THANK YOU! On another note, your blog comments add a refreshing entertainment factor to finding new recipies for my family.
I felt sad when I gave up white flour because i knew i would miss Sunday morning pancakes. I started making buckwheat as well as almond flour pancakes and thought, “this isn’t bad”, but it just wasn’t light and fluffy like a pancake should be. I stumbled across your recipe here and couldn’t make them fast enough! I took my first bite and i swear, the clouds parted and a light shone down. I will never miss my white flour pankcakes again!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Have you made these with coconut milk? My husband prefers coconut milk to almond and I’m wondering if it will mess up the consistency because the coco milk seems to be a little thicker than the almond. Just wondering if you’ve tried this and how it worked out?
you could use that, you may need to add more if it is canned coconut milk
I use homemade coconut milk for these and they turn out wonderful!
I’ve been drooling over this recipe all week. Finally made them this morning but they turned out really thick and dense. I used coconut milk instead and added more milk but it was still pretty thick. Should I reduce the flour?
i talked about how the flours can be super testy when making the pancakes (in my caramel apple ones) next time add more almond milk. one time when i made these, i had to add up to 2 cups of almond milk because i used a different tapioca flour
Hi Juli!
Thanks for the great recipe!
For lack of almond milk, I used 1/4 cup coconut milk and 2 teaspoons of almond butter + 1/4 cup of water.
The batter itself was too thick (maybe due to the tapioca starch brand or the butter) and I ended up adding at least another ½ cup of water.
Also, I let the batter sit for 15 minutes to get the soda working…The pancakes turned out suuuuper fluffy and moist.
The recipe’s already typed up and filed to my “Favorites” section.
Thanks and can’t wait to try out more of your recipes. Coming up next Sunday: “Peanut Butter” and Jelly Stuffed Muffins 🙂
All the best from Germany

Oh no! Please help! I went to make these but in the instructions you dont mention which honey goes where! You just say “honey” twice in the directions. So I didn’t know which “honey” went in the batter. Can you please specify?? Thank you so much!
fixed that issue, explained it a little more thorough. the first honey goes in the lemon/rapsberry mixture. the second honey goes into the pancakes. hope that explains it better!
These are excellent! I made them with whole milk because my kiddos are not paleo. They are delicious. Oh, I didn’t have raspberries but I did have strawberries. Even with these mods, the pancakes were totally loved!
I’m not a huge fan of honey….what sweetener can I use to substitute the honey?
maple syrup
Hi Juli,
I’m on SCD and can’t use either tapioca flour or baking powder. Any ideas for subs? Thank you!!
arrowroot powder and I’ve heard you can use baking soda adding cream of tartar, but you’ll need to look it up
This is what I do for baking powder, it works perfectly:
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Hi Juli, I made these this morning and they are the best Paleo pancakes I have made. They are so fluffy!! Can’t wait to purchase your cookbook. Your recipes are amazing! Thanks so much!
