Imagine you’re George Clooney. Take a moment to admire your grooming and wit. Okay, now imagine someone walks up to you and asks, “What’s your name?” You say, “I’m George Clooney.” Or maybe you say, “I’m the Clooninator!” You don’t say “I’m George of George Clooney Sells Movies Blog” and you certainly don’t say, “I’m Clooney Weight Loss Plan”. So while spam is technically meat, it ain’t anywhere near Primal. Please nickname yourself something your friends would call you.

adam, these look great. I would blend the eggs thoroughly until pale yellow before mixing in the other ingredients.
I realised after I posted my comment thast I didn’t explain why – To avoid a stiff or tough texture, I would mix the wet ingredients thoroughly before adding the dry. And then, stir only until the dry ingredients have been moistened.
Thanks again for the video.

Adam,
After I watched this yesterday I last night driving around to four different stores looking for shredded coconut (cause Whole Foods was all sold out). Finally found some and just finished whipping up a giant paleo waffle this morning. So tasty! Thank you for sharing this great recipe. Can’t wait to whip them up for my wife when she returns from Haiti. Thanks again!
These were very good. Thanks for the tip on coconut milk. I never knew there was a difference, but wow, so much creamier than coconut milk with added water.
I just tried these this morning, and this is certainly one of the best almond meal/coconut milk uses I have come across.I save a tbsp of coconut milk to put in my coffee with a dash of cinnamon. Thanks for the video, Adam.
could i use hazelnut flour instead of almond?
This may be a stupid question, but the author says he makes around eight and eats them all week. I just was curious if this means he cooks them all at once, and just freeze/refrigerates the other seven pancakes (assuming he eats one), or will the batter stay good that long if kept cold? Sorry if I missed this in a comment or if it should be obvious. Just curious. I just made these (first day on this site) and they are really good. Thanks for the recipe.
I can’t wait to try this waffle recipe. I love my waffle iron and was wondering about how to use it.
My previous favorite non primal waffle recipe included bacon and sweet potatoes in the batter.
I’ll try these once with the original recipe shown here, then I’ll have to add the bacon!
MMmmm!
Bisphenol-A coconut pancakes.
You can buy coconut milk in small tetra paks (Arroy-D is one brand). Then, you’ll have your BPA free pancakes.
Interesting, an acquired taste for sure… maybe a second try will be better, but they were a bit bland.
Adam, I love this recipe and your video. You’re a natural! Not easy to cook in such a relaxed manner in front of the camera. The pancakes are absolutely delicious – I made them and photographed them for my food blog, Fresh Tart. (I linked to you as the source, of course!) Thanks so much for a delicious recipe.
Thanks for the recipe…unfortunately, I had a total FAIL. Only can of CoCo milk was from TJ’s, I realized after I poured it in…”added water”…ugh. Was runny, added some coco flour to try and thicken it up, just made it a flaky mess. Bummed out, but I know that with the correct ingredients these will be awesome. Thanks again!
Delicious! Awesome. Thanks so much. Im on mybphone so I can’t see the video. I just followed the recipe someone posted. I ground some fresh almond meal in my magic bullet. It is great for small batches and I live alone. I made 1/2 recipe to try, but next time I’ll be making the whole amount! I made 2 largecpancakes and ate 1 with 2 slices of bacon and some crushed pineapple. Oh, and butter. What’s a pancake without butter? In my Lose it App, this one large pancake’s ingredients have 291 k, 26.5 f, 8.4 p, 8.45 c, & 4.5 f. This doesn’t jibe with Adam’s amounts for 8 small…? Each having 245 k. I can’t imagine eatingvonly one small one anyway. Since I couldnt view the video, I don’t. Know what the coconut milk tip was… When I purchased coconut cream at the Asian market by the case, my logic was, since it’s the fat we’re going for, the best value was the highest fat brand. So I used 1/2 the amount and added some water. I figure buying coconut milk instead of cream is paying for water. Unless I want a nice drink in which case I use refrigerated unsweetened So Delicious brand. I will sure be making lots of these!!!!
How about adding a little commercial coconut flour for a little more cakey flavor? There are many good organic brands and lots of primal recipes can be made using it. Use non-aluminated baking powder and soda. You can usually find it at your health food store in bulk. The aluminated stuff is not good for us. The recipe looks great!
These look great but any ideas for those of us who avoid nuts?
Oh and Native Forest coconut milk is in BPA free cans
Have you tried using finely ground flax meal? I bet you could substitute it for the Almond meal. I almost did because I didn’t really want to go to the store.
looks great! Cant wait to try it. As I’m new to this I have an almost stupid question: is coconut meal the same as coconut flour?
we just got into Primal eating a couple months ago. This recipe was a total WIN!
For those of you who like a very fine textured pancake, I recommend Bob’s Mill Finely Ground Almond Flour and Let’s Do Organic Finely Shredded Coconut. I used a can of Thai Kitchen coconut milk, NOT the light version (which actually says it has water in it on the label). The finer ground the ingredients, the less thick the texture.
My husband says they taste pretty much like real pancakes that you added coconut to. He was thrilled. Great texture!
They were even a tad thick because I had packed the 1c. shredded coconut in the cup instead of loosely, so I added a couple tablespoons of Silk Real Coconut vanilla milk.
Used 1/2 tsp of soda, cinnamon, and vanilla each.
Delicious!
We topped them with pure maple syrup. That’s not necessarily primal, but it is a natural sugar (from a tree) and does digest a little differently than processed sugar, and has much lower glycemic index if I remember accurately.
I made these pancakes today. They taste good but are extremely difficult to handle/flip. They need to be perfected some how!
These look great. If I only have coconut flour or coconut oil instead of shredded coconut can I substitute with one of them or what would I use?
The video isn’t there!! Can someone post the recipe??
Maybe I am in the minority but I hate the video recipes in that there is no printed recipe below it. I like to print a recipe page and you can not do that with a video.
wish I wasn’t allergic to all nuts, this looks good
they look great. I am making them sunday morning. What is the serving portion for these for the calorie count you gave,two? Just wondering.Thanks!
I can’t get true coconut milk out here without the added water so I am going to 1/2 it with some heavy cream….should work I hope…looking forward to these very much
These pancakes were fantastic! Cooking them without burning took some getting used to. I made large pancakes initially, and the edges burned before the centers were cooked. For the second round, I cooked them as silver dollar pancakes, and this made a huge difference. They were easier to flip, and the center cooked well. Thanks for such a great recipe!
