I played around and experimented until I came up with these pancakes, which I am very happy with! They are Grain Free, Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free, Seed Free, Nightshade Free, Legume Free, Tapioca and Arrowroot Free Pancakes that are AIP Autoimmune Protocol compliant, Paleo and Allergy Friendly.
It is great to have another breakfast option that I can eat safely and enjoy. I think when I go away from home, I could make up this batter/dough and take it with me in an airtight container, ready to fry in my own little frying pan I travel with.
Mine fell apart too. If I try this recipe again, I will use a gelatin egg. I think that will help it stay together better.
Glad I looked through the comments, as I made a few adjustments. In addition to the ingredients listed above, and omitting the sugar because I figured it’d be sweet enough since I used a ripe banana and very ripe plantain, I added 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol free). The first batch was a little precarious but with time it gelled and with careful flipping it held together.

Wish I would’ve read the comments because these fall apart big time!!!
would this work with just sweet potato flour instead of adding coconut flour?
These are great! I subbed green banana flour for the sweet potato flour. I loved them! Thank you so much for the recipe. 😊
Falls apart
Does not cook as a pancake
Hi, what could I substitute for coconut flour?

Which gelatin powder – red or green?
very mushy, hard to flip. Wouldnt make again.
I just made these for breakfast. They were edible. But they were not easy to make. They kept breaking apart. I tried at first to cook in a frying pan one pancake. It was very thick so I added more coconut milk to it to thin it out as it was taking 10 minutes just on one side to cook. So then I broke out the griddle. Then they were over-cooking on one side and they could never flip. I used coconut oil to grease it generously. They were a mess. So then I tried my silicone waffle oven bake mold and put the rest of it into the oven. They did not cook well. With the mold you let it cook for 20 minutes and flip them out and cook for 5. When I went to flip a lot of them stuck to the mold (I greased it with coconut oil) and fell apart uncooked and so I had to leave it on the pan to bake. My husband got those and he said that he liked them. But I think he just said that because this took me 2 hours to do. Well we tried. That is our motto for our 2nd week into AIP. Most of the recipes, even though I follow them to the T I find are not coming out like they should. They were still edible and I think they just needed less gelatin.
I’m actually really glad I saw this recipe today. I’m having some friends over for brunch this weekend, one of whom is on the AIP diet. I’m going to give this a try, although I may use Emilie’s modified recipe if I can’t find sweet potato flour locally.
Hey Allegra– I had a similar problem, but solved it by changing the recipe like this!
1 cup coconut milk
1 medium bananas
1 tablespoon honey or coconut syrup
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
3/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 sweet potato, steamed
1-2 tablespoons coconut oil
I’m not familiar with two of the ingredients-gelatin powder and sweet potato flour. Where do I find them? I don’t remember ever seeing sweet potato flour in the baking section. Are there any substitutes if I can’t find it?
Hi Allegra, I bought both the gelatin powder (Great Lakes Brand) and Sweet Potato flour online via Amazon. Hope that helps.
