The Pancake Bread from your local Trader Joe’s made healthier and with all paleo ingredients like my go-to paleo pancake mix. Such a delicious and easy breakfast bread to make.
I am not sure how many of you have tried the pancake bread at Trader Joe’s, but it has become quite popular all over social media. To be honest, the ingredients of the pancake bread from TJ’s are pretty meh and not something I personally want to eat daily.
This bread on the other hand – made with all gluten-free and paleo ingredients. No refined sugars and it is sweetened with some maple syrup.
I am beyond obsessed with how this bread came out and how easy it was to make. This was also my first time using pancake mix for a baked good and not using it for pancakes or waffles. Now I am officially obsessed with making all things with the pancake mix, so stay tuned for more run recipes soon!
But first – enjoy this paleo pancake bread and I can’t wait for you guys to try it!
Ingredients needed to make copycat Trader Joe’s Pancake Bread:
- Eggs – I haven’t tried flax egg but it may work!
- Bananas – or sub unsweetened applesauce
- Maple syrup – or you can use honey but maple syrup has more of a pancake taste
- Birch Benders Paleo Pancake Mix – I haven’t tested another mix here
- Cinnamon – lots and lots of cinnamon!
How to make healthier pancake bread:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a bread dish with parchment paper + grease well
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas then add the eggs and maple syrup and whisk well
- Mix in the pancake mix, baking powder and cinnamon until smooth
- Add batter to bread dish and bake in oven for 40-45 minutes (stick a toothpick in and when it comes out clean – bread is ready)
- Allow the bread to cool for a few then slice and enjoy! Store in the fridge for 5 days or freezer for longer

This looks so amazing and easy to make! I have a GF pancake mix of birch benders. How do you think it will come out with that?
Rachel

SO good! I used the pumpkin spice paleo version of the birch benders pancake mix and it turned really well. I will definitely be making this again.
Rachel
heck YES!
Meral
This turned out very dry for me 🙁 do you think I over-packed the pancake mix when measuring? The batter was very thick. Any suggestions for when I try it again?
Rachel
i don’t! did you use the paleo one? a lot of people have had success with it 🙂
Meral
I’m going to spoon the pancake mix into the measuring cup next time! I’m not giving up 😊

Do you know how much applesauce we should use if we’re substituting applesauce for the bananas?
Rachel
I don’t sorry!!
Stella
Measure how much the bananas would be and that’s how much apple sauce u would use. 🍌
