German One Pan Pancakes (Grain Free, Gluten Free)

Tired of standing over a hot griddle flipping pancakes – one right after another – for your family’s breakfast?

Look no further than one pan pancakes.

Speedy One Pan Pancakes That are Packed with Nutrition

You might know these delicious breakfast treats as German pancakes, or Dutch Babies. And despite their name, they’re not much like flapjacks at all.

In fact, these one pan pancakes are more like a hybrid of an omelet and a soufflé. As they bake, they puff up and become golden with crispy edges and a tender almost custard-like center.

Unlike the traditional German variation of this recipe (which uses wheat flour, milk and eggs) we rely on low glycemic, gluten free almond flour, shredded coconut and protein-packed organic eggs to make a hefty pancake that will keep you full for hours.

Top with warmed organic blueberries or apples sauteed in butter and cinnamon for a deliciously sweet breakfast that’s surprisingly low in carbohydrates.

Why You Should Quit Bread — Even the "Healthy" Kind

Did you know that traditional grain-based breads & desserts contain a compound that is the #1 greatest danger in your diet?

Studies show that this compound (and I am not talking about "gluten") is toxic to your heart and blood vessels, weakens your immune defenses, and disrupts your nerves and brain function.

And if that's not enough… this hidden compound also makes it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to burn fat and lose weight!

The great news is that you can still have your breads and desserts… AND be well too!

    Is almond meal the same or different than almond flour? I have almond flour but I have also seen almond meal sold in stores.

      Hi Jody… it depends on the manufacturer. Some companies use the terms interchangeably. Other companies sell almond meal which is more coarse than almond flour. If available, look for blanched almond flour (this means it also has the skins removed).

    How big is this pan?

    Any way to convert this recipe for a party of 2?

      Maybe try a small pan or ramekin!
