I lied to you. Once again. These pancakes were not made with peanut butter…or jelly. They were made with cherries and sunbutter. Peanuts aren’t paleo, so I hear. And I’ve cut nuts out of my life. I even made almond butter for someone special the other day and only took a lil tiny lick of it to make sure it didn’t taste like nut butt. Hehe, I said butt.
Speaking of butts, a pretty nice one came into my gym the other day. A woman named Vanessa was in town from Arizona and stopped in to get a workout in during her vacation. First off, she’s has given birth to 5 children and looks 10x better than me. Not fair. Secondly, she’s hilarious. Straight up, fantastically funny. And lastly, she’s incredibly thoughtful because she put together a gift basket of cooking things for me as a thank you for writing my blog. Pretty damn cool if you ask me. Getting a thank you gift for doing something I love is preeeeety awesome. And the best part of it all, it’s her birthday TODAY. So I wanted to give her a little shout out for being ridiculously good looking AND having a super cool husband who emailed me to send me a picture of the two of us. What a great guy. I bet he’s making her something delicious today. Like these lil guys. Breakfast in bed. If a man ever served me breakfast in bed, I would make out with him on a constant basis. Fact.
This week is the week leading up to 4th of July. Many of you think of that day as the best day of summer. I…do not. 4th of July reminds me of my days when I worked at a pool and had to make sure 100+ children weren’t drowning, or running on the deck, or crapping themselves in the pool…which they usually did. Then I would clean up their July 4th extravaganza food festival they left on the ground because they were too drunk to notice the cheetos they were mopping up with their toes. The adults, not the children. Then I would try to go get my party on with some friends but was too exhausted to smile. Therefore, was a bore. Soooooo 4th of July sucks in my eyes. BUT I’m going to change that this year. Do something fun. I don’t know what, but I know it will be good. AND I’ll be posting recipes all week and into next week that you can bring to your pool, get drunk, and half-heartedly stuff your face with, then continue on to smash your toes in once you grossly drop it onto the ground. You’re welcome.
PB&J Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup cherries, seeds removed
- 2 heaping tablespoons of sunbutter
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of cinnamon
- pinch of salt
For the coconut sunbutter frosting:
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
- 1 heaping tablespoon sunbather
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
Instructions
- This is simple.
- Place cherries in food processor and puree.
- Add your sunbutter and egg and pureee more.
- Place in bowl and add your coconut flour, baking soda, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt and mix together with a spoon.
- Place a large skillet or pancake griddle over medium heat.
- Once skillet is hot, use a bit of your oil of choice to grease it and pour your pancake batter. I made my pancakes about 3 inches in diameter (I’m guessing that’s the word). The smaller you cook them, the easier they will cook through and not be mushy. I warned you.
- Cooked for about 1-2 minutes per side.
- While your pancakes are cooking, mix your sunbutter frosting together. Daaaaamn it’s good.
- In a bowl, mix together your coconut butter, sunbutter, and honey.
- Top pancakes with the frosting.
- Consume. Be merry.
Notes
Makes 8 small pancakes.
It is very warm. And cozy.
This is what my home looks like from the sky.
Someone straight up tried to eat my home. Meaning Sarah and Laura.
I’m so weird.

Dayuuuuum!! These are delicious!
I am prepared to make these tomorrow. I gave up nuts ages ago and have been sugar free for over two weeks. I allot myself one “sweet” meal a week and I’m drooling in anticipation!!
I have followed you for a while but have never commented probably cuz I’m a sissy lala nervous nelly when it comes to people reading my posts but I had to comment on this one. Vanessa, the woman in your picture, is up in Coeur d’Alene Idaho at Crossfit Coeur d’Alene where she, and HER MOM, tear it up! Her husband comes in from out of town for the weekends and the other day while working with the Atlas stones he said to his wife, “I saw this on tv once. Curl up in a ball.” She immediately did so, he picked her up and throw her over his shoulder and carried her like she was a case of beer! They are so cute and so inspiring to be around. Just thought I’d share.
P.S. And yes all of her kids?? Gorgeous! Thanks for the great blog!!
Holy bejesus!!! These are so amazing!!!!! I used blueberries instead of cherries, so yummy. They really hit the spot. Thanks for all of your amazing recipes and hilarious posts!
I hope you’ll forgive me, but I only had peanut butter and blueberries, but they still were AWESOME!!! I have been craving pancakes and was looking for a nut-free pancake recipe. Thank you so much!
Great recipe, Juli! I tried making them this morning, and they tasted wonderful…but I have a question, how do you keep them from falling apart? I feel like every time I make pancakes with coconut flour, they just crumble? Maybe it’s just me! Any tips/advice?
Just try using a bit less coconut flour next time.
All right, I only had blueberries in the house because I had already eaten all of the cherries. I love cherries! I took a chance to see if my 13 month old twin girls would like these and they are a huge hit! They are gobbling them up!
since going paleo 2 years ago the things I have missed most are pancakes and PB&J’s. Love this site, making these for breakfast tomorrow.
Soooo goooooddddd! May have to add a little syrup to make the bite a little wetter.
Hi, I would like to make these however I have to avoid all coconut products. What can I replace the coconut flour and butter with?
nothing really to replace the coconut butter with, but you could use almond flour instead of coconut flour
