Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Coconut Oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons Sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or stevia)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • Pinch Salt

Mixing the Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, eggs, milk, melted coconut oil, sweetener, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt until well combined. The batter will be quite thick, which is normal for coconut flour pancakes.

Letting the Batter Rest

Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid. This will help the pancakes hold their shape and prevent them from being too crumbly.

Cooking the Pancakes

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-low heat. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Coconut flour pancakes tend to brown quickly, so keep an eye on them and adjust the heat if necessary.

Serving

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.

FAQ

  • Why are my coconut flour pancakes dry?

    Coconut flour is very absorbent, so it's important to use enough liquid. Ensure you're measuring the ingredients correctly and allowing the batter to rest. If they're still dry, try adding a tablespoon or two more milk to the batter.
  • Can I use a different sweetener?

    Yes, you can use any sweetener you prefer, such as honey, maple syrup, stevia, or erythritol. Adjust the amount to your desired sweetness level.
  • Can I add other flavors to these pancakes?

    Absolutely! Try adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cocoa powder to the batter. You can also stir in chocolate chips, blueberries, or other fruit.
