If you adopted a lectin-free lifestyle, but still want to enjoy delicious pancakes on a Sunday morning, this recipe will not disappoint.
Fluffy, sweet, and good for you, these lectin-free pancakes are easy to make and require just a handful of ingredients.
Nothing like pancakes on a Sunday morning
Going on a lectin-free lifestyle doesn’t mean you must miss the fun. Anything has a healthier version, including pancakes.
The basics for regular pancakes are eggs, flour, milk, and spices. I used the following lectin-free alternatives to make these delicious pancakes:
- Eggs – use pasture-raised eggs, the most nutritious eggs.
- Flour – use a mix of tigernut flour and green banana flour.
- Milk – use coconut milk.
- Spices – use vanilla, or your favorite flavorings like lemon / orange zest, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, etc.
- Add-ons – blueberries are a great addition. Use wild blueberries, they are more nutritious and smaller in size, better for the size of these pancakes.
Tigernut flour
Tigernut flour is one of my favorite flours to use for desserts. It’s naturally sweet, has a nutty flavor, and it’s keto-friendly, without being made of actual nuts.
Yes, tiger nuts are not nuts, despite the name. They are small tubers that are nutrient-rich and full of resistant starch.
Ingredients to make lectin-free pancakes
- 1 pasture-raised egg
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon Tigernut flour
- 1 tablespoon green banana flour
- 1/4 – 1/3 cup frozen wild blueberries
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- coconut oil for cooking
- coconut butter for serving (nut butter, crushed nuts or more fresh fruits, Yacon syrup will work too)
- Optional flavors: cinnamon, lemon or orange zest, pumpkin pie spice.
- Optional add-on: marine collagen powder
How to make these pancakes
- Blend all the ingredients, except for the blueberries, in a blender. You can also use a stick blender or a whisk. You will get a thick, creamy batter.
- Add the frozen blueberries and gently incorporate them with a spatula, so the color of the blueberries doesn’t break down and makes the pancakes all purple.
- Add a small quantity of coconut oil to your favorite pancake pan or griddle, and cook them on medium heat. Flip the pancakes when the edges start to settle and cook until they are no longer soft to touch.
- Serve warm with coconut butter, nut butter, and nuts, Yacon syrup, local honey, or the toppings of your choice.
- From this quantity, you will make four big pancakes (2 pancakes per serving).

Notes
If you don’t have green banana flour, replace with tapioca flour, but you might have to add 2 tablespoons instead of just one, as green banana flour tends to be very absorbant.

November 9, 2022 at 9:48 amI tried these today, and my pancakes are impossible to flip. They only keep breaking and are not sticking together. Any tips?

November 10, 2022 at 1:36 amHi Vilde, I’m not sure what to say. Although I had this experience with other pancakes, it never happened to me with this recipe. Did you use all the ingredients in the recipe, including the banana flour?

March 28, 2021 at 10:31 amTried these today, thank you so much for the recipe! How did you get them so fluffy? I had to add baking powder after the first round because they were just flat disks 🙂 My batter was quite runny. I doubled all quantities from your recipe. With the baking powder (1 tsp) they turned out great. Also added a bit of Swerve halfway through. Such a treat, thank you again ❤️

April 20, 2018 at 9:07 amWhen i made these the batter was super thick, is that normal?

April 20, 2018 at 9:43 amDid they come out ok? It’s hard to say without seeing how much is too thick or super thick. Usually, when I make pancakes, the batter in not runny, I have to spread it out a little bit with a spoon, but I wouldn’t say is super thick.It still has to be like a pancake batter. Send me a picture on my gmail or instagram if you have one.

April 8, 2018 at 3:40 pmHi Dmitry! You can replace Tigernut flour with almond flour, or a mix of other compliant flours (e.g. almond + cassava). Of course, it will not have the same taste or texture, but it works.
