These grain free and Paleo Gingerbread Pancakes are a dreamy and healthy holiday brunch item that your whole family will love!
Oh man, guys… I have the perfect Christmas brunch recipe for you and I’ve made it 3 times already since last week because it’s that good. That’s saying a lot because I always choose savory breakfast items over sweet and these Paleo Gingerbread Pancakes are just next level.
Paleo Gingerbread Pancakes Recipe
These Paleo Gingerbread Pancakes are just the dreamiest and the fluffiest, and the cinnamon-y, ginger-y flavor will make you feel so warm and festive with the holiday spirit.
Not only that, it’s super easy to make using just a blender to make the batter, so it’s pretty quick to pull together if you want to feed a group. And each person can customize with whatever toppings that they like!
Get Creative With Your Toppings!
I vary my toppings with almond butter, whipped coconut cream, sliced almonds, a little bit of maple syrup, and cinnamon. But you can add berries, yogurt, jam, granola, or even ice cream for some extra decadence. If you are looking for something simpler, the batter contains a banana so it’s already slightly sweet so it’s delicious on its own.
Hope you enjoy these yummy, fluffy Paleo Gingerbread Pancakes to celebrate your holiday mornings!

Oh man…get in my belly!
Oh my, dreamy!! What a great combo of flavors, and that they are nut free and paleo!
These are so much fun! I love these flavors for the holiday season. You can’t go wrong with pancakes, they’re such a fun breakfast food – or dinner too!
Super fun! We have pancakes on Thursdays, so I’ll make these this week! The girls will love it!
Prettiest stack of pancakes ever!
Mmm, these look perfect for our family. Love the molasses in there!
We made these and loved them BTW!! 🙂
Oh my goodness… I’m so hungry now! Haha. Gingerbread everything sounds good to me!
I actually started to get so hungry when I first saw the image of these pancakes. That DRIZZLE! And I love the combination of banana and coconut flour for pancakes… plus all of those spices! So yummy.
Can’t wait to make these! What is the scrumptious looking sauce on them?
Thank you! It’s almond butter and maple syrup. So yummy!
Hi there
In the info it says 340 for 1 serving, how many pancakes would that be ? Thanks
I can’t really say because it depends on the size of your pancakes. The entire recipe makes one serving though so you can base it off of that!
These look great! I haven’t cooked or baked with coconut flour yet, but I really need to!
I love how simple these are to make! I never would have thought to make pancakes but what an amazing holiday breakfast idea.
Mmm! I feel like this recipe has my name written all over it. I can’t wait to give the recipe a go!
Hi Jean,
Thank you for this recipe! I made these pancakes this morning. The only change I made was substituting 1 1/2 teaspoons of Primal Palate’s gingerbread spice for the ginger and cinnamon but the batter was very thick, more like a cake or brownie batter. I added some water to thin it out and while the flavor was great, the texture was not quite right. I know that coconut flour absorbs liquids like crazy so 2 eggs and a tablespoon of molasses seemed like too few wet ingredients to me. I would like to try them again as we love pancakes and gingerbread. Any suggestions where I may have gone wrong? Thanks!
So sorry that the consistency was off! Was your banana ripe enough? I can try this recipe again in the near future to test that the measurements aren’t off. The batter should be slightly thicker than your traditional pancake mix but not by much. Thanks for letting me know and hope to have a fix for you soon. 🙂
Thanks for your reply, Jean! If I try to make them again before you get the chance, I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes too.
Hi Veronica – so sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I think I accidentally made a typo with the amount of coconut flour. I updated the recipe and this should solve the problem of the batter being too thick.
These pancakes are calling my name! I’ve never had gingerbread pancakes, so unique! Saving this one to make for breakfast during the holidays!
mmm! These sound amazing. I might be making them for breakfast on Christmas morning.
YUM-)=O! I’d eat this every single morning with a cup of hot coffee!
Drool, swoon…then drool and swoon again:)
These are AMAZING! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. Can’t wait to make them again <3
We love the flavor of Gingerbread, so I know these would be a hit!
In Austin there is a breakfast place called Kerbey Lane that is famous for their gingerbread pancakes . . . . it’s such a treat to get them, but I think I would much rather stay home and make these!
How many pancakes are considered one serving ?
It really depends on how big you make your pancakes. This whole recipe is 1 serving. I like smaller pancakes with taller stacks so I was able to make about 6.
Oh my, Jean, you have outdone yourself again! These look amazing!
My mouth is watering as I read the ingredients. I want paleo gingerbread pancakes!
I am so excited I found this gingerbread pancake recipe! Do you think I can use ripe bananas that were previously frozen? I would love to make these pancakes ASAP!
Yes, they’ll definitely work after you defrost them! 🙂
Oh my… these look like such an awesome breakfast treat, plus I love gingerbread flavors during the holidays so these are an all around win!
