Cherry Chocolate Chip Pancakes (or Waffles)
“We have a habit of making a batch of either pancakes or waffles, on the weekends and then plan to eat them throughout the week. These treats are totally appropriate for freezing, but they never make it to the freezer because they are always eaten.”

Paleo Made Possible with eMeals Meal Planning
Ingredients
- 2 cups of sweet cherries
- 2 Bananas
- 2 cups of almond butter
- 2 tbsp Arrowroot powder
- 2 tbsp Vanilla
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup of Dark Chocolate Chunks
Directions
1. Pit cherries (tedious work, I will seriously reconsider before allowing a free for all with the kids at pyo cherries next year)
2. Puree cherries and bananas until smooth
3. Add almond butter and puree until smooth (LOVE my immersion blender)
4. Add all remaining ingredients except chocolate chips and mix
5. Stir in chocolate chips
6. Heat skillet to medium/high, add a little coconut oil if your skillet isn’t non stick
7. Ladle in batter and watch for bubbles to come up to the top surface of the pancake
8. Flip and cook opposite side 2-3 minutes.
Every stove top and skillet is a little different. The first batch of pancakes in the pan are always the test subjects to see how long it takes before they can be flipped successfully yet still be golden and how long the opposite side needs to cook. I will say these pancakes have a tendency to need to cook a little longer than some pancakes before firming up yet also brown more quickly sue to their high sugar content. Keep an eye on them!
In the end after I made half of the batter in to pancakes I pulled out my waffle iron to see how the batter would do this way as well. Success! I actually preferred this variation more as waffles than pancakes, but again, I think that’s just a phase I’m in now.

So excited to see some Paleo Recipes on your site!!
Shanna, And they are delicious!
Silly question, but can you taste the banana?
Erin, Faintly!
can you use peanut butter instead? my husband is allergic to almonds
Tara, Definitely! Peanut Butter will do fine.
No you can't!!! Peanuts are a legume and are NOT Paleo…sorry.
Yay for Paleo recipes!!!! Delicious breakfast!
Can I use tapioca powder instead of arrowroot powder?
Mary, That will work!
OMG, i'm excited to try this!!
It is yummy!!
Is there anything I can use in place of the 2 tbsp Arrowroot powder?
Thank you!! Wasn’t sure what the arrowroot did exactly!! I think I’ll be making these this weekend!!
What is an immersion blender?
Cindy, It’s a long blender that purees ingredients. You can also use a food processor.
