Interested are you to know more?!
You’ll need a quality skillet (or a pan that you can rely on), a few eggs, bananas, a chunk of real butter and classic spices like vanilla and cinnamon. That’s it and nothing more! I’ve told you they’re pretty easy to make.
These are all the ingredients you’ll be using for this paleo pancakes feast:
- Eggs
- Bananas
- Vanilla
- Cinnamon
- Butter
- Dark Chocolate (85%, for topping)
- Cashew Butter (for topping)
For an extra special flavor, I topped these pancakes with creamy cashew butter and freshly made chocolate sauce (we’ll make the chocolate sauce ourselves).
Regarding cashew butter, you can definitely skip it in case you don’t have any in your house (or maybe you don’t like it). Just know that other kinds of nut butters will work just as good (almond butter and hazelnut butter are my other favorites).
Steps to make paleo pancakes with chocolate and cashew
- In a medium bowl add eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla and cinnamon. Use a whisk or a fork to mix everything until well combined.
- Preheat cast iron skillet and melt 1/2 tsp of butter. Note that you’ll be cooking each pancake into 1/2 tsp of butter.
- Using a medium ladle, add the first pancake into the skillet.
- Cook on small heat until lightly brown on one side, then carefully flip using a silicone spatula.
- Continue cooking on the other side until done, making sure not to burn the pancake.
- Remove the cooked pancake from skillet using a silicone spatula.
- Repeat from #2 until the entire batter is gone, making sure to add 1/2 tsp of butter before cooking each pancake.

- 6 tsp butter (for cooking)
Topping
- 50 g dark chocolate (85%, melted)
- 100 g cashew butter
Instructions
- Prepare your bananas: peel and mash them using a fork.
- In a medium bowl add eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla and cinnamon. Use a whisk or a fork to mix everything until well combined.
- Preheat cast iron skillet and melt 1/2 tsp of butter. Note that you’ll be cooking each pancake into 1/2 tsp of butter.

- Cook on small heat until lightly brown on one side, then carefully flip using a silicone spatula.

- Once done, use a silicone spatula to remove pancake from skillet. Place the pancakes one on top of the other, forming a pancake stack.
- Repeat from #3 until the entire batter is gone, making sure to add 1/2 tsp of butter before cooking each pancake.
- Once the pancakes are ready, melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Once melted decorate the pancakes. For a delicious finish, add a tablespoon of cashew butter on top of the pancake stack.
- Ta-Daa!! Enjoy these paleo pancakes without guilt!
Notes
- The simplest way is to use a heat-proof bowl placed over a small pot filled with 2/3 water. Add the chocolate inside the main bowl.
- Heat the double boiler over low to medium heat otherwise you risk boiling the chocolate which is something you want to avoid.
- Make sure you don’t add too much water into the pot, otherwise you risk getting water into the mixing bowl.
- The chocolate will melt from the indirect heat generated by the water found in the main pot.
- Once the chocolate has melted, simply remove the bowl from heat and set aside to cool down.
