I will admit, I have issues with my photography for this site. When I started blogging, I thought, “How difficult can it be to make already delicious food look delicious in a photograph?” Well, evidently it is not that tricky when one has a few thousand to spend on a good camera and lighting equipment. But I have a budget of like $20 and our old family camera that isn’t DLSR (I honestly don’t even know what that means).
Soooo….. in the midst of experimenting with lighting, background, and camera angles, I end up with more than a few flops. And then I surprised myself and found this on my memory stick:
Gorgeous, right?? If only results like that were more consistent! But I’m working on it.
Anyway, about the pancakes. If you don’t count cinnamon and the coconut oil for the pan, they are two-ingredient. That’s right! You are only two ingredients away from a pile of festive, grain-free pancakes on your breakfast plate!

Wow! That is a gorgeous pic. It makes me want to try these right away!! I have the same issue with food pics. It’s one thing that keeps me from food blogging, but oh well. It looks like you’re getting the hang of it.
Thanks, Kim! Don’t let photography stop you from blogging… just set aside some time and patience for experimenting and you’ll get there!
I added about 1-2 tablespoons of coconut flour to the recipe and it was a lot easier to work with since it wasn’t so thin. Delicious pancakes and so easy. Thanks much, Lauren, for your wonderful recipes and very informative web site!
I’m so glad you enjoyed these! And thanks for telling us how you tweaked the recipe, too!
I think that you are so inspiring. Your blog is beautiful and your recipes are some of the most creative recipes I’ve come across (and I’m constantly trolling blogs)! I love that this has only two ingredients, and since I had some leftover squash puree (butternut, not pumpkin) this morning, I decided to give this one a go. Yum, yum, yum!
I also thought that this little p’cake might make a really nice wrap for some pulled meat or carnitas for a nice sweet/savory combo. Can’t wait to try it. I know I’ll be getting some mileage out of this recipe.
Thanks Lauren!
As soon as I saw this sight I thought all of the photographs were great! You really are good at it, and finding delicious and healthy recipes! Thanks a ton!
My kids wanted pancakes this morning, and I thought i’d try these so I could join them. I wish I had read the comments first and added some coconut flour to thicken them up. I loved them, but my as yet un-converted, flour-eating family weren’t impressed. One child said it tasted like pumpkin eggs not pumpkin pancakes, lol. Well, he was right, wasn’t he? Two out of three liked them, but said we should come up w/ a different name for them because they weren’t pancakes.
At any rate, 2 of 3 ain’t bad, right? We’ll keep plugging away at a slow conversion. I want my kids to learn to enjoy food that is good for them and not feel forced into eating “my way.” Thank you so much for providing all these wonderful alternatives to try out!
whoah this weblog is great i like reading your articles. Keep up the great work! You already know, lots of people are searching around for this information, you could aid them greatly.
I love your blog and recipes! How can I do these pancakes without eggs?
