I hope they never quit selling this. We are watching our carbs and my fiance couldn't believe we could eat these. They are that tasty. I think the coconut flour lends a sweet element without tasting artificial. I make most things from scratch, but I wouldn't mess with this perfect pancake. I will have to try them as waffles soon. Also, they are filling. There are 2 per serving (approximately 4 inches diameter) when cooked up, but I am usually satisfied with only one. I cook up whatever portion I planned & save any extras in a freezer bag between squares of parchment paper. They reheat nicely in the microwave when covered with a slightly damp paper towel to prevent drying out.
Pretty good..... I mix it with additional coconut flour and I add an egg and almond/coconut milk to the mix to make the pancakes come out smoother. KETO-friendly. Good taste. Mix by itself with water is a bit dry (which is why i add stuff to it.) Also, prone to really stick to the pan and burn. Use with a lot of butter or coconut oil. Otherwise, does the trick.
So I’m on a slight diet “lifestyle eating change” and I decided to give this mix a try! I am so in love with bread, so needless to say I was incredibly suspicious with this imposter called Paleo Pancake mix. Listen this is what it is. A substitute! And like any substitute, some are terrible and some are just okay until you eat the real thing! So as a substitute, it will do when you are trying to limit carbs for any amount of time. This will do wonderfully with a few substitutions! Unless you like tasting cornmeal you must mix with either coconut or almond milk instead of just water. I chose half coconut milk in the can and half water. I also added some cream cheese! Just a little bit! Anyway! It came out actually good! But you must like the taste of coconut because mine came out smelling like coconut. Just make the whole bag and freeze the rest of the pancakes for another breakfast if you meal prep. Oh and be careful not to have the fire on high. Medium heat and patience to get your pancake perfect!
I want to give this product 5 stars because the taste is great and even my husband (who usually prefers full-carb) said he likes these BETTER than regular pancakes! However I had a hard time getting these to cook correctly. This might very well be user error, but they seemed to have to cook so much longer than regular pancakes, and still they were a little doughy. That reduces the convenience of making pancakes, but I still think it's a quality product worth trying.
I've recently started to get healthy, choosing the ketogenic way of life as my "diet" of choice. Transitioning has been difficult, but these pancakes have encouraged me to find other healthy alternatives. I have a severe addiction/craving to sweets and this helps a lot!!!! The coconut gives it a wonderfully pleasant hint of sweetness, totally eliminating the need for syrup. With 11g net carbs I'm not sure if these are worth it for those who have a net carb restriction of 20g of net carbs per day. I will continue to buy these.

Description
Founded in 2011, Matt and his then girlfriend-now-wife, Lizzi set out to build a naturally delicious and cleaned up pancake & waffle mix. The duo experimented with every ingredient they used, and ended up with the fluffiest, tastiest just-add-water pancake & waffle mixes imaginable.
First time ordering this product from Amazon, but I have been using this Paleo mix for a few years now.
You may have to experiment a bit to get the thickness and consistency you want. The package says "Just add water" but that doesn't yield the best results. My best mix seems to be adding one egg yolk, some almond milk, and a little bit of coconut cream. I then fry it in coconut oil (but you can also use butter to get more browning around the top and edges). I might also throw some raisins or frozen raspberries on top, which once you flip the pancake over, add flavor and texture as they cook into the batter. Frozen blueberries do not work as well unless they are small, otherwise the batter doesn't cook well all the way through.
The best thing about these is that after eating, I don't feel weighed down and sluggish, like with regular wheat pancakes. And it isn't just the sugar, because I still use real maple syrup or jam with the Paleo cakes (I have a sweet tooth). It has to be the flour. These are gluten-free and made of Yucca, Coconut , and Almond Flour, plus a few other ingredients.
If anyone has other tips or recommendations for other good gluten-free mixes, please post a comment and I will circle back and read it. Thanks!
We are huge fans of this mix. So much so that we just did a subscribe and save on the mix. The taste yields a light and fluffy waffle that tastes so good you would think it can't possibly be guilt free. We buy this mix for the low carb option and are very pleased with if.
My biggest complaint would be the package instructions are for several small 4" waffles. It would be nice if it just said how much mix to use for one Belgian waffle. I've had to experiement both times I've used the mix and got different results each time. It's a little frustrating because I feel like I am waiting mix. I will perceviere however because we really like the taste of this mix.
Omg, these are like regular pancakes. None of the ground up nuts. They are fluffy and golden brown and they don't fall apart like the nut ones do. Will order again. Very impressed with this mix and only had to add water. Amazing.
The Paleo pancakes were pretty good - I never set the bar too high when making something that has a lot of substitute ingredients compared to the “real thing”. The serving size/calories/carbs/etc. is way off. I made the smaller batch ( which was very easy, BTW), which was supposed to make 6-7 pancakes, but only made 4. I made these exactly as directed. If the serving size is not correct, then the nutritition facts are off, too - I had to multiply everything on the nutrition facts by about 1.5 to get the right numbers.
I will say that other than that, I really liked these Paleo pancakes, and will get more!
I've been on a keto diet for the last 2 months. In these last 2 months, I've learned that there is hardly anything out there that exactly replaces the comfort foods that you have been used to eating your entire life.
I saw this mix on Amazon and it was only a few dollars, so I really didn't have anything to lose from at least trying it.
One night, I was looking for something healthy to eat as a dessert and I remembered I had ordered this.
It was so simple to mix up... Only needing the mix and water, which I replaced with low cal almond milk to hopefully make whatever this turned out to be a bit richer. I mixed it and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken, as the instructions recommended. Now... please understand, I love batter... cake batter, brownie batter, pancake batter. I crave it!!! I tasted the batter... Yuk, it definitely did not taste like regular pancake batter. It was sickeningly sweet and had grainy bits that were reminiscent of small bits of almond or coconut. Though I was becoming increasingly disappointed, I went through with cooking them. I noticed that they don't bubble on one side, like regular pancakes do. You have to make sure you flip them when they are browned.
When they were done, I poured a small amount of sugar free syrup over them... still skeptical, but hoping for that comfort food feeling that pancakes can bring.
I took that first bite.... A-MAZ-ING!!! They tasted nothing like the batter. They were fluffy and satisfying... They were slightly crunchy on the outside and spongy on the inside. The cooked pancakes had just the right amount of sweetness. This was it... That was what I was looking for. I am one happy customer. Thank you Birch Benders!!! I will be buying these again!!!
