Paleo Coconut Pancakes

I love breakfast. But when you're going gluten-free, wheat-free, or paleo, there aren't a lot of options. This recipe rocks when you need pancakes to save you from a blah breakfast morning. Yes, you can need pancakes. Great with syrup or fruit sauce. Let them cool and spread with cashew butter, sunflower butter, or even preserves for tea!

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.

Step 2

Beat egg yolks and butter together in a bowl until smooth; add coconut milk and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture until batter is evenly combined.
