Pink Lemonade Paleo Pancakes Stack

Your paleo breakfast game just totally changed with these paleo pancakes with a pink lemonade twist! These easy paleo pancakes are flavored after one of our favorite beverages: pink lemonade! Typically, pink lemonade is regular lemonade, with raspberry and/or strawberry puree added. To mimic those flavors in our paleo pancake recipe, we substitute some of our milk with raspberry lemonade, and add crushed freeze dried strawberries to our pancake batter. You’re left with a nourishing pancake recipe that has 461 calories, 65 grams carbohydrates, 22 grams fat, and 6 grams protein per serving.

Making paleo pancakes might seem hard, but you only need a few paleo ingredient swaps to make it happen. First, we use cassava flour instead of regular baking flour to make these paleo pancakes with a pink lemonade twist. Many paleo pancake recipes might use almond flour instead, but cassava flour has a higher carbohydrate count, which lends itself nicely to pancakes. Just remember – cassava flour is a different product than tapioca flour!

These cassava flour pancakes call for a few liquid ingredients, including your choice of non-dairy milk. While you could use almond milk in this recipe, canned coconut milk will increase the fat content of our paleo pancakes, making them nice and fluffy. Just whisk your milk with your raspberry lemonade, coconut oil, eggs, and maple syrup, and you’re well on your way to making these delicious paleo pancakes with a pink lemonade twist!

Once you’ve cooked your batter, feel free to enjoy your pancakes with paleo-approved toppings like fresh fruit, lemon zest, and melted coconut butter or maple syrup. Don’t be afraid to make an epic stack out of these paleo pancakes with a pink lemonade twist – they’re not your average paleo pancake, after all.
