Nut Free, Dairy Free, Grain Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free
Lately I’ve been cherishing slower weekends. I’ve been so go, go, go during the week that leisurely weekends at home have been absolutely blissful!
One of my favorite ways to kick off the weekend? PANCAKES!
As much as I love the classic 2-ingredient pancakes: 1 banana + 1 egg = pancake batter, I find they can be a little limp and not as pancake-satisfactory as I prefer. Yes, I have high hopes for my pancakes on the weekends!
So one recent Saturday morning I decided to start throwing different stuff into my bowl to oomph up my banana + egg = pancakes formula.
And these Grain Free Zucchini Bread Pancakes were born!
Oh em gee.
Not to mention, that this is another great way to use up your surplus of summer zucchini (my FAVE!), these Grain Free Zucchini Bread Pancakes are almost TOO easy. Once you add coconut flour (affil link) to your pantry, I guarantee you have all of the ingredients on hand.
Why coconut flour? To be honest, there’s nothing wrong with regular flour or whole wheat flour (although neither can just be substituted evenly in this recipe), but I’ve been having fun experimenting with coconut flour lately because of its high fiber content, delicious and hearty flavor, and easy to use.
These Grain Free Zucchini Bread Pancakes are…
- A nourishing and filling breakfast
- Easy to make in just 1 bowl
- Gluten free & grain free
- Full of fiber and protein to start your day with a nutritious & delicious meal

This is the fluffiest stack of pancakes I’ve ever made, so get on it and make breakfast for dinna tonight! 🙂

Now who wants a short stack for dinner tonight??
XO
What a perfect weekend breakfast! On the menu for this week!
Wow such a unique recipe. I must try! Pinning!
Thanks Serena! It’s my new go-to.. we’ve had breakfast for dinner quite a few nights lately! 🙂
These look so good and I love that now I have another way to get zucchini into my girls’ bellies. ONLY thing is…..what can I use in place of the banana {face palm}. Am thinking applesauce? But how much?
Thanks Jess!! Absolutely!! 🙂
how much applesauce would you say to use?
Hmmm maybe 1/4 cup?? But I’d also then add a touch of sweetener because the banana really provides that sweetness. I also think pumpkin or sweet potato could work too — I’ll have to experiment!
Yum! I’ve been in such a pancake mood lately and these look so perfect! Especially with that 13g of protein!
Same!! Pancakes are in the air!!! 🙂
