Paleo Pumpkin Cinnamon German Apple Pancake will be your new favorite weekend breakfast! Only 8 ingredients, grain-free, dairy-free, gluten-free and no sugar added!
Coming in hot with some pancakes….. actually a pancake. A big fluffy delicious pancake to be exact. For those of you who have never had a german pancake (or dutch baby), it’s basically a big thick pancake that you bake in the skillet.
Their is no flipping involved, so if you have weak flipping skills, this type of pancake is for you.
I used cassava flour here since it is the closest to all-purpose flour and rises nicely in this recipe. I was having all the fall feels, so pumpkin and apple are both included!
Note: I got the cassava flour at Kimberton Whole Foods (they have a great selection of paleo-friendly ingredients!)

I didn’t even use any sugar in here becuase I thought it wasn’t necessary. If you add some maple syrup on top, I’d say you’re good to go. But if you want to add some more sweetness, I suggest adding in a couple tablespoons of coconut sugar.
Either way, you’ll love this german pancake! It soaks up maple syrup perfectly, and also goes well with a cup of coffee or tea!
Here is what you need:
cassava flour
pumpkin
eggs
non-dairy milk

Oh my!! This looks so good!!
Thank you so much !
can I use coconut flour or almond flour instead?
European pancakes are SO unique–Swedish pancakes, French crepes, and German pancakes now! This giant pancake looks like the perfect brunch to share and cut into. Cinnamon, apples, and pumpkin complement each other superbly, especially in dessert–though I have seen the combination in soups and salads too! Anyhow, I have never tried a German pancake, but I definitely have to fix that. It’s like a panzookie, or a pancake pizza! LOL!
You can use almond flour! Just not coconut flour since it absorbs more liqiud. Hope you enjoy!
Oh you NEED to try Cassie! Youll love it 🙂
Made this morning for breakfast! It was absolutely delicious and had a great texture. Super easy to make, too! Definitely sweet enough when you add a bit of maple syrup on top!
