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.
- Repeat with the rest of the pancake mixture.

These are THE best paleo pancakes I have made so far (and I have tried many different recipes)! I am going to make waffles next with this batter. Thanks for the recipe!
My friends have been paleo-haters lately! Reading this post and watching that video really cheered me up!! Is it creepy how much I can relate to you on everything?!? Can’t wait to make these pancakes this weekend!
Hi Juli, just started following you recently and am going back and reading past blogs. Just wanted to say that I love your writing style, so funny, and appreciate that you are so real…you drink, swear and buy stuff you don’t need, eat too much on vacation, etc., etc…had to laugh when I saw your response to the guy who didn’t like all the “f” words…probably won’t really ever change…made me laugh out loud. Keep up the good work and never change how you write 🙂
:):) you got it!!
Just made these for breakfast, first pancakes I’ve had in years and they were amazing. Couldn’t find tapioca flour (now that I’ve read through comments I see Bob’s Red Mill) so used 1/4 c arrowroot powder (all I had) and 1/4 more coconut flour…more dense than fluffy but still really good. Will use tapioca flour next time. Thanks Juli, can’t wait to try more of your recipes!!
How long do the raspberry preserves last in the fridge? The pancake looks great and all the dishes in the photo. Nice work.
they’re great in the fridge in a closed container!
I love these pancakes, but I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. Every time I make them they come out very dense. Any suggestions?
add a bit more almond milk
Eating these right now! Made a fruit salad so left out the raspberry topping and just topped with maple syrup. I also didn’t have tapioca flour so I subbed 4 tbsp of arrowroot starch. I also don’t use almond milk so subbed it for unsweetened coconut milk. They turned out great, the best out of 3 paleo pancake recipes I’ve tried.
I just made these and they are delicious.Kristina Arrowroot is the same as tapioca.
Eating these as I post comment. They are so good. Love the almond milk of coconut milk. Thank you!
These were great! I would only do 1/4 cup coconut flour next time so the batter isn’t so thick…I’d also try a scant 1/2 cup tapioca flour to bring down the carb count as they are pretty high, saving grace is that you only need one they are filling and delicious with eggs and bacon!
I made the first couple following the recipe and the last few mixing the berries into the batter (just for curiosity’s sake) and I like the recipe ones. They are ridiculously fluffy! My batter was pretty thick, so I may thin it out with more almond milk next time. But this is totally a keeper for weekend morning treats!
